VILLANOVA, Pa. -- Villanova coach Jay Wright signed a seven-year contract extension Tuesday, one day after his Wildcats defeated No. 1 Connecticut.
The contract will keep Wright at the school through the 2012-13 season. Athletic director Vince Nicastro said the agreement represents a "significant commitment" to Villanova basketball.
The No. 4 Wildcats (20-2, 10-1 Big East) beat the Huskies 69-64 Monday night.
"We now have a long-term commitment, a new practice facility planned, a newly expanded conference and renovations planned for the Pavilion," Wright said. "There's nowhere our staff and my family would rather be."
In four seasons, Wright has led the Wildcats to a 95-56 record and took them to the round of 16 in last year's NCAA tournament.
