Mizzou extended Dennis Gates’s contract on Thursday through the 2028-29 season. His original contract ran through ’27-28. His annual salary will increase to $4 million in ’23-24, with $100,000 increases each season through the life of the amended agreement.
The agreement was announced in a statement from the school which was released a couple hours after Missouri beat Tennessee to reach its first-ever SEC tournament semifinal.
Gates is 24–8 in his first season with the Tigers after arriving from Cleveland State. Missouri won 12 games last year under Cuonzo Martin and has not made it past the first round of the NCAA tournament since 2012-13, only reaching the Big Dance twice in that span.
