In the aftermath of its best season in decades, Marquette has locked down its coach for the foreseeable future.
Golden Eagles coach Shaka Smart has agreed to a contract extension through the 2030 season, Marquette’s athletic department announced in a Tuesday afternoon release. The deal adds three seasons to the six-year contract Smart signed upon his hiring in March 2021.
“My family and I are incredibly thankful for the opportunity to be part of the Marquette community, where relationships, growth and victory truly matter,” Smart said in the university’s release. “I feel extremely fortunate to be around our players and staff every day — we have a special group at Marquette.”
