West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins has signed an 11-year contract with the school that will keep him at his alma mater until he's 65.
The deal Huggins signed Friday will pay him $1.5 million a year, plus incentives. When he arrived in April 2007, he was paid $800,000 in his first season.
The Mountaineers went 26-11 this season and advanced to the third round of the NCAA tournament for the third time in four years.
