Rising ⭐️! Tutored by @CoachAK13 & @DonnieTyndall - did an incredible job turning around the Gulf Coast program & will be a D1 boss very very soon.
Sources: UNC offered Tommy Lloyd a top-two contract in CBB. Lloyd took less to stay, but will still bump up to $7.2 million starting next season. Staff pool also will get a huge bump + incentives brought back to their contract structures. He'll also no longer report to the AD.
#McNeese AD Heath Schroyer has just announced at the NCAA Tournament Selection Show that Bill Armstrong has agreed to a new 5-year contract extension with McNeese.
McNeese State AD Heath Schroyer hired Will Wade a few years ago, then got Bill Armstrong- who won’t be there for long.
Also hired women’s coach Ayla Guzzardo a year ago - who is 27-4 overall.
And also found a way to have league tourneys hosted by McNeese!
@mgiannotto I’m w/ you on letting him finish the year out and making the call after, but giving him an extra year so the ending is nice is a small time move for a relatively big time basketball program
Year one. 20 wins.
Coach Armstrong joins Glenn Duhon (1977–78) as the only coaches in program history to hit 20 in their debut season.
