Haase earns a new deal with significant raise
By Roy S. Johnson, Al.com
UAB basketball coach Jerod Haase, who guided the Blazers to the C-USA tournament championship and into the third round of the NCAA tournament, has been granted a contract extension by the university, sources confirm.
The new deal is for six years and Haase, 40, will earn $1 million annually.
Haase, who graduated from South Tahoe High School, last received an extension in January, which paid him $525,000 annually, plus incentives.
I’m reminded of the David Frost quote:
“Don’t aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.”
Couldn’t have happened to a more determined and deserving guy and his family … Congrats, Jerod!
I am so excited for him and the UAB team! Way to go Jerod!
