He deserves it.

What he has done bringing in Gillispie, Cohen, and Brooks (if I'm not mistaken), this extension is well deserved. I also think Mitchell for the women's team will be a good hire in the future.

An incentive well deserved with the key people that he has surrounded himself and the program with.

I agree... Kentucky athletics is better now than it has ever been IMO.
