UAB’s Haase gets 6-year extension
Alabama-Birmingham rewarded coach Jerod Haase with a six-year contract extension on Wednesday after the Blazers reached the round of 32 in the NCAA Tournament.
Haase will make $1 million per year under terms of the new deal. He previously was paid $625,000 per season plus incentives.
“Long-term stability for me and my staff is crucial and represents an important step in moving the program forward,” Haase said. “Our recruits and their families can rest assured that I will be at UAB for the long-term future. Today’s commitment by the administration is a strong statement that UAB wants to be great in basketball.
“Planned future upgrades in travel, facilities and budgets will be an integral part of sustaining UAB basketball at an elite level.”
The 40-year-old Haase came to UAB in 2012 and this year’s team won the Conference USA tournament before upsetting Iowa State and advanced to the third round in the NCAA Tournament.

Price, 51, was a standout at Georgia Tech from 1982 to 1986 and was a four-time All-Star in 12 NBA seasons. He has been an assistant coach with the Hornets since 2013 and also was an assistant of the Atlanta Hawks, Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic.

Wisconsin point guard Traevon Jackson expects to return for Thursday night’s NCAA Sweet 16 game against North Carolina after sitting out more than two months with a foot injury.

The Badgers are the top seed in the West Regional. They advanced through the early rounds with wins over No. 16 seed Coastal Carolina and No. 8 seed Oregon.
In 17 games this season before Jackson suffered the injury, he averaged 9.4 points, 2.9 assists and 1.7 rebounds per game.
