The Pittsburgh Panthers already gave their football coach a contract extension, so why not the basketball coach, too?
The school gave Jamie Dixon a contract extension, though the terms of it have not been released.
Dixon was previous signed through the 2015-2016 season, so he already had a lot of security.
The Panthers were getting concerned that the highly-coveted Dixon might be tempted to go elsewhere.
Oregon is currently looking for a head coach and had expressed an interest in interviewing Dixon.

The Pittsburgh Panthers have rewarded head coach Dave Wannstedt with a two-year contract extension.
Wannstedt has been the ire of many during his coaching career in the NFL and college, but he seems to have found a home in Pittsburgh.
The team has still struggled to win big games, but the program has been stabilized under his watch.
He said that most coaches would be out looking for other jobs after his recent success, but he is committed to the university.
Wannstedt even went as far as to say this his last job, which has to make the school feel good about their football program.
