In what has become an semiannual right of passage for the Board of Regents, basketball coaches Tad Boyle (praise be his name) and Linda Lappe received a contract extension. *Through a vote on Friday, the respective contracts were extended to the end of the '18-'19 season, without an increase in salary.
I don't mean to undersell this move, since it is important for the coaches to continue to enjoy a sense of job security, but I'm not kidding when I say that this has become a common occurrence. *The contracts for Boyle and Lappe have been repeatedly extended tweaked over the previous two years, including the following instances:
February 2012
November 2012
April 2013
June 2013
July 2013
I've become accustomed to the idea that, in sports, contracts are barely worth the paper they're printed on. Coaches can be fired or quit at the drop of a hat, so all of this is mostly for posturing. *Anyone who is familiar with the programs in Boulder knows that Boyle and Lappe are here until they no longer want to be. Still, simply the idea that both the coaching eras we're currently enjoying would continue through 2019 is a welcome one. *I'll take it.
