For the second time in just two years, the University at Buffalo has given head men's basketball coach Reggie Witherspoon a contract extension. Witherspoon is now signed through the 2011-2012 season. His previous contract extension, signed following the 2004 season, paid him through the 2008-2009 season at $145,000 per year. Financial terms of the most recent deal, in keeping with school policy, were not released, however sources have told MAC Report Online that Witherspoon's salary will reportedly be $175,000 per year which would place Witherspoon near the upper tier in MAC coaching salaries. Can't State's Jim Christian recently signed a seven year extension that increased his salary to at least $250,000 per year while newly installed Ball State head men's basketball coach Ronny Thompson's compensation package is among the tops in the MAC.
