Texas extends coach Barnes through 2019
Multiple reports have Texas agreeing to extend Rick Barnes' contract through 2019. That's a two-year addition to his previous agreement.
Barnes, 60, went 24-11 last season and reached the Round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament with his seventh-seeded Longhorns. Coming into last season, there was some speculation over how secure Barnes' job was.
Barnes is set to make $2.55 million this season, which will be his 17th with the school.
