What about the elephant in the room?
As ABC-7 s Erik Elken reported on Thursday, UTEP head coach Rodney Terry received a one-year contract extension that will pin him as the Miners head coach until the 2023-24 season. This was uncovered after our news partners were seeking clarification on the salary reductions this year by UTEP s two highest paid coaches Terry and football coach Dana Dimel. Both Terry ($200,000) and Dimel ($71,000) will take a combined $271,000 salary reduction this year as a result of budget cuts due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Turns out the extension moved forward in October, yet Director of Athletics Jim Senter never released anything to the public.
RUSTON â The Louisiana Tech menâs basketball team makes its longest trip of the season this weekend as the Bulldogs head to El Paso to take on UTEP in a two-game series inside the Don Haskins Center.
The first matchup comes Friday at 8 p.m. CT followed by a 7 p.m. CT tipoff on Saturday. Both games will be streamed live on ESPN+ with Erik Elken and Leonard Owens calling the game. Fans can also listen to Dave Nitz and Jack Thigpen call the action through the LA Tech Sports Network.
LA Tech (11-4, 4-2 C-USA) is coming off its first C-USA sweep after downing UTSA, 77-66 and 82-66, this past weekend. On Saturday, the Bulldogs connected for a season-high 14 three-pointers. The 14 threes also tied for the most in program history against a C-USA opponent.
