Kansas extends women’s hoops coach 05.10.2007
|
The extension begins retroactively on April 1, 2006 and will expire in March of 2011. Henrickson will earn an annual salary of $220,000 plus additional payments that would bring her total compensation to $635,000 per year.
"We are thrilled that Bonnie Henrickson will be our coach for years to come," said KU athletics director Lew Perkins. "We saw significant improvement toward the end of this season against one of the nation’s toughest schedules. There’s no one I’d rather have at the helm of the Kansas women’s basketball program."
The Jayhawks finished last season at 11-20. In 2005-06, Henrickson’s squad won 17 games and made an appearance in the NIT.
Before coming to Kansas, Henrickson coached at Virginia Tech for seven seasons where the Hokies won 20 games each year.
