Oregon St. mens' basketball coach Craig Robinson has agreed in principal to a two year contract extension, according to Athletics Director Bob De Carolis. The contract extension to his deal that originally extended thru the 2013-2014 season, will ensure that Robinson will (probably) be on the sidelines for Oregon State through the 2015-2016 season.
"I'd like to thank President Ed Ray and Bob De Carolis for their commitment to me, our program and Oregon State," Robinson said. "This extension represents a mutual commitment to the future of Oregon State men's basketball. We will continue to recruit the best student-athletes, invest in our facilities and build a successful team on and off the court. We have ambitious goals and look forward to returning the Oregon State basketball program to prominence."
The exact terms of the contract will be finalized and released in the near future, according to De Carolis.
"Since his arrival, Craig Robinson has done an outstanding job of instilling a work ethic within the program, which has allowed our student-athletes to improve on and off the court," De Carolis said. "He has shown a keen understanding of how to build a program the right way, and has already made significant strides in restoring the proud tradition of Oregon State men's basketball. This new agreement ensures his leadership will be felt for a long time and adds continued stability to the program."

Great news...
I know the results are there yet but I feel like Coach Rob has this team headed in the right direction.
I like it.
Buying him out will now be less attractive, and with the heightened commitment maybe we’re looking at better basketball sooner than later…?
GO BEAVERS!
good move
Go back 3 years and tell me it,s not night and day difference we,re on the right path GO BEAVS.
Whew! Great news
Good news for recruiting – it’ll keep other coaches from saying that Coach Rob won’t be at OSU that long!
Soy anranjado....
Sounds like that was a big part of it.
Apparently people were talking to OSU recruits, telling them he wasn’t long for Corvallis. Nice to nip this in the bud.
It seems reasonable to read into this
that he sees satisfactory indications of progress toward the practice facility, and a “reasonable” plan, despite the terrible economy.

Go Beavs!
Now
Can he get Burton to always go up strong to the hoop without chucking the ball up as soon as he catches it?
And can he get Cunningham to stop running over standing still defenders?

The Cunningham fouls are getting really old. I love the fire but come on dude, everyone’s got your number on those drives.
Yep, but he has improved a bit, but yes totally agree.

Agreed!
Man, you hit the nail on the head. Burton has huge upside, but he should be shooting 55-60% minimum with how close he gets the ball to the basketball. Go watch some Steve Johnson video! He could probably lose another 20 lbs and get a little more hops around the hoop. Just jammit!
Cunningham needs to develope a mid-range game ASAP or he will have a frustrating sophomore season. He is being given that shot.
And back at you! Totally agree!
Yes, great example of Steve Johnson! I will also say Burton doesn’t even need to jam it all the time, at the least just catch, set, go up strong. If the jam is there take it, if not going up strong two-handed to the rim will help a lot. He’s got a lot better but still.
Cunningham = Totally! Also I do think that if we can get in a true outside shooting threat (Nelson) that will free up more of the mid-range and also in turn open up driving lanes. But people will know he’s coming even more next year now that he has some hype around his freshman play.

Practice Facility
OK, if Robinson gets that damn practice facility he better not leave for the ACC or Big East.
