CBS Sports activities reported Tuesday that the deal would make Calhoun, 43, No. 2 in wage within the Mountain West Convention behind Brian Dutcher of San Diego State, who took his group to the NCAA championship sport in 2023.
In keeping with the USA Right now wage database for faculty basketball coaches, Dutcher made $2.4 million within the 2024-25 season, with Calhoun incomes $1 million.
In his first season in Logan, Calhoun led the Aggies to a 26-8 report, which features a first-round loss to UCLA within the NCAA Event.
Calhoun had been rumored as a robust candidate for the vacant job at West Virginia, the place he was on the workers below former coach Bob Huggins from 2008-12.
