University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball coach Jim Foster has agreed to a contract extension that will last through the 2020-21 season.

Two years were added to his contract, which also included performance bonuses for winning the SoCon regular season or tournament championships and conference coach of the year honors.
The assistant coaches will also benefit, as performance bonuses are in place for making and advancing in the NCAA Tournament.

Foster is 58-8 in his two seasons as the Mocs’ head coach, leading them to a pair of Southern Conference championships. The highlight of the 2014-15 season were a pair of home victories over top-10 teams Stanford and Tennessee.

They were ranked as high as No. 17 in the nation.
