South Florida extends hoops coach Heath

NCAA Basketball Betting Lines

07/05/2010 - Tampa, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The University of South Florida has extended the contract of men's basketball coach Stan Heath through the 2014-15 season.

Heath has guided the Bulls to a record of 41-51 in three seasons, which included a 20-13 mark and an NIT appearance in 2009-10. South Florida also had its best season in the Big East with nine regular-season victories, more than doubling the previous best total of four, and also notched a win in the Big East Tournament for the first time.

"I am very pleased to extend Stan's contract," said USF athletic director Doug Woolard. "In just three years, he has been able to position our men's basketball program as a viable competitor within the Big East Conference and nationally. Winning games in the best conference in America is no small feat, and to have us in the postseason in that period of time is one heck of an achievement.

"More importantly, I believe he is doing a terrific job of laying the foundation for continued success. We have every intention of competing at the very highest level in men's basketball at USF, and Stan is providing the leadership necessary to do that."

Heath's previous contract was due to expire on August 1, 2012.

"My family and I are honored and appreciative of USF's commitment to our basketball program," said Heath. "My staff and I look forward to the work ahead in building a championship program. It's an exciting time to be a USF Bull."

USF will return six letterwinners for the 2010-11 campaign, as well as Kansas State transfer Ron Anderson, who sat out 2009-10.

Heath spent one season as the head coach at Kent State and five years at Arkansas before taking over at South Florida. He has a career head coaching record of 151-131 in nine seasons.
