NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Just a few hours after guiding Missouri to the Southeastern Conference tournament semifinals, first-year Tigers coach Dennis Gates received a one-year contract extension. It pushes his salary from $2.5 million to $4 million next season, the school announced Friday, not long after the Tigers beat Tennessee 79-71 in the SEC tournament quarterfinals.
On Thursday, the UM System Board of Curators unanimously approved the addendum to Gates's contract that extends his initial deal through the 2028-29 season. Under the new contract, his guaranteed salary also increases $100,000 each year. Just in case other schools try luring him away from Columbia, the new contract increases his buyout to $25.5 million should he leave for another job in 2023-24. MU would owe him the same amount if he's fired within the next year without cause. The buyout decreases each year based on how much money is left on his contract.
