Extension excites Graham to stay at Boise State

The Idaho State Board of Education will decide Thursday, June 19, whether or not to approve the Boise State University men’s basketball coach, Greg Graham’s, increased annual salary.
Graham is expected to be making $345,000, pending approval of the contract.
“[The Grahams] are glad that we got a chance to be here for a while,” Graham said “We like Boise. The opportunity to be here longer, to see my kids get through school here.”
The contract contains some possible raises and incentives that could increase his salary. This includes a possible 15 percent salary increase with 20 wins or more.
“I think that the incentives are good,” Graham said. “They are performance-based. They give a guy the opportunity to stick around for a number of years.”
Graham knows that he has his work cut out for next season, but is looking forward to the challenge. The move from last season’s success built the momentum.
“Those are the goals of the program,” Graham said. “To win so many games and go post season. To graduate your kids. That’s what we did this year and hopefully we can keep that rolling.”
The current roster is deep, but lacks experience. Graham has no reason to believe that his program will not keep him at the helm of Boise State men’s basketball in the years to come.
