Lamont Paris Secures Six-Year Contract Extension with South Carolina

The deal, averaging over $4 million annually, rewards Paris for leading the Gamecocks to a historic season.

Lamont Paris, named SEC Coach of the Year, will continue with South Carolina through the 2029-30 season, pending board approval.
The contract extension comes after Paris led the Gamecocks to a 25-6 record and their first potential NCAA bid since 2017.
Paris' new deal is a significant raise from his previous salary, marking a strong commitment to men's basketball at South Carolina.
Before joining South Carolina, Paris had a successful tenure at Chattanooga, including an NCAA tournament appearance.
The contract keeps Paris off the coaching market, amidst interest from other programs like Ohio State.
