West Virginia University and men’s basketball head coach Bob Huggins have agreed on a contract extension on Thursday, according to a report by Mike Casazza of 247Sports.

In March, Huggins became the sixth Division I men’s basketball coach to eclipse 900 wins when the Mountaineers defeated Morehead State in their first round matchup of March Madness.
