Green Bay men's basketball head coach Sundance Wicks has turned one of the biggest single-season turnarounds in NCAA history into a couple of more season tacked onto his contract.
The Green Bay Athletics Department announced on Thursday that they extended Wicks' contract and will keep him at the school through the 2028-2029 season.
"Sunny has done such an amazing job in year one, we are thrilled that he will continue to lead the Phoenix for the foreseeable future," said Director of Athletics Josh Moon in a statement released to GreenBayPhoenix.com. "We are building something special in Green Bay, and his connectivity, juice, belief, character and passion for this program and University will continue to help us RISE to new heights.
Wicks took a team that had won just three games the year before to an 18-14 record and on the doorstep to a postseason berth. He capped off his first season by winning the 2023-24 Horizon League Coach of the Year and the Joe B. Hall National Coach of the Year.
