LAWRENCE, Kan., Aug. 13 (UPI) -- Kansas has given its women's basketball coach, Bonnie Hendrickson, a three-year contract extension through the 2013-14 season, the school announced Thursday.

"We are excited about what the future holds, and very pleased that Bonnie will be the coach to lead us into that future," Athletic Director Lew Perkins said.

"She has done an excellent job building our women's basketball program to a high level in what is perhaps the most difficult conference in the country."
