UNIVERSITY PARK (NCAA) - Penn State have handed coach Ed DeChellis a contract extension that ties him to the Nittany Lions until the end of the 2010-11 season.
DeChellis had two years added to his original deal, which he signed in 2003, despite failing to win more than six Big Ten Conference games in any of his first three seasons.
Last season, Penn State went 15-15 overall and 6-10 in the Big Ten, including a 66-65 upset of Illinois on February 4 that ended the Illini's 33-game home winning streak, then the longest in the nation.
"We are very excited with the direction coach DeChellis has our men's basketball program heading and are pleased that he will continue to lead the program into the future," Penn State athletic director Tim Curley said.
"Ed has energised the program and the Penn State basketball community and the team has made great strides in his first three years. We believe he and his staff have laid the ground work for continued success both on and off the court for years to come."
