Louisville men's basketball coach Rick Pitino signed a three-year contract extension Thursday that will keep him with the Cardinals through 2013. The new deal increases Pitino's annual salary from $1.65 million to $2.25 million a year beginning next season and will pay Pitino $2.5 million a year if he stays until the end of the contract. The contract also boosted a loyalty bonus due Pitino on July 1 from $1 million to $1.75 million. The 54-year-old Pitino is 142-58 in six seasons at Louisville and led the Cardinals to the 2005 Final Four.

A well deserved contract for Rick, I know a lot of people in the state of Kentucky do not like him, but where would UK basketball be today without him.
