UNM Lobo Basketball Coach Olen's Extension

University of New Mexico Lobo basketball coach Eric Olen secures a contract extension following a successful first season. Despite a new roster and staff, Olen led the team to a 26-11 record, third place in the Mountain West Conference, and an NIT semifinal run. The team broke program records with 3,400 points scored and ranked in the top fifty nationally for NET and KenPom ratings. Freshman Jake Hall and forward Tomislav Buljan received accolades for their performances. Olens leadership and the communitys support contributed to the extension, which includes a retention bonus, assistant coach raises, and NIL cash for players. With key players returning and a strong staff, the Lobos aim to maintain momentum and improve their interior defense for future NCAA bid contention.
