Longtime Utah women’s basketball coach Lynne Roberts will stay with the Utes for a few more years.
Roberts signed a contract extension that keeps her as head coach through June 2027, the university announced Tuesday. Details of her extension were not immediately available.
Roberts led the Utes to a 21-12 overall record last season, including an appearance in the Pac-12 championship game and the team’s first win in the NCAA Tournament since 2008. Utah beat the 10-seed University of Arkansas before falling to 2-seed Texas in the second round.
“The breakthrough success her team enjoyed in 2021-22 — playing in the Pac-12 championship game and advancing to the second round of the NCAA tournament — was not an overnight sensation but a reflection of the incredibly solid and healthy foundation she has established to sustain success,” Utah Athletic Director Mark Harlan said in a news release.
Roberts has coached the Utes for the last seven years, amassing a 112-99 overall record.
“I am beyond grateful for the opportunity to continue to build a women’s basketball powerhouse in the Pac-12 here at the University of Utah,” Roberts said in a news release.
