UCF Basketball Coach Dawkins in NCAA Tournament, Contract Talks

UCF Knights basketball, led by head coach Johnny Dawkins, is making a strong NCAA Tournament run, potentially leading to a contract extension. Dawkins, in his tenth season, has a two-year extension ending in 2027, with the final year not guaranteed. Athletics director Terry Mohajir is exploring options for a short-term or longer deal, following a successful season with a program-best nine Big Twelve wins and five top-tier victories. The extension talks reflect the programs growing momentum, with any new contract requiring approval from university channels, including president Alexander Cartwright and the Board of Trustees.
