SAN MARCOS, Texas, May 12 (UPI) -- With both programs coming off winning campaigns, the head coaches of the basketball teams at Southwest Texas on Monday were given new contracts.
Both Dennis Nutt and Suzanne Fox were given three-year deals. Financial teams were not disclosed.
Nutt guided the men's team to a 17-12 mark last season, matching the third-best win total in the program's history. The former member of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks, who has brothers coaching college hoops and football, went 25-41 in his first two years.
Fox led the women's squad to the Southland Conference tournament title and the team's first trip to the NCAA Tournament since 1997, the season before she took over. She had posted just one winning season before 2002-03.
"Our basketball programs are definitely on the rise, and it was our desire to reward both coaches," said Athletic Director Greg LaFleur.
