Mike Anderson has agreed to a new
seven-year contract and will remain Missouri's men's basketball
coach.
The announcement Tuesday night caps a whirlwind couple of days for the school and Anderson, who had been mentioned for coaching vacancies at Georgia and Memphis.
Sources said Anderson turned down a lucrative offer to take over the Georgia program earlier in the day.
The university said financial details of the new deal will be
announced later.
Anderson previously earned a base annual salary of
$850,000.
Anderson coached Missouri this season to a school-record 31 wins and its first NCAA tournament appearance since 2003. The Tigers advanced to the West Regional final before losing to top-seeded Connecticut.
