VESTAL, NY (AP) -- Binghamton University men's basketball coach Mark Macon has signed a two-year contract extension.
Macon, who had one year remaining on his current contract, will shed the "interim" label and continue as the Bearcats' coach for three more seasons.
Macon provided critical stability the past two seasons. He took over as interim in October 2009, when former coach Kevin Broadus was placed on paid administrative leave. That came on the heels of a recruiting violation and the dismissal of six players for legal troubles and violating team and university rules.
Binghamton is 6-18 this season, 3-8 in the America East.
