Belmont: Belmont Gives Coach Five-Year Extension



Belmont Gives Coach Five-Year Extension: After leading the school to three straight Atlantic Sun Conference tournament titles and NCAA Tournaments, Belmont gave basketball head coach Rick Byrd a five-year contract extension. Byrd’s 541 wins make him one of 15 active Division I men’s basketball coaches with 500 or more career victories. His Bruins nearly upset Duke in the first round of this year’s tournament. The Blue Devils, however, survived 71-70.
