The Beavers will now be keeping their basketball coach on campus possibly into 2015-2016 season.
Coach Craig Robinson is reported to have gotten an extension for his work.
Craig Robinson:
“I’d like to thank President Ed Ray and Bob De Carolis for their commitment to me, our program and Oregon State,”
“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.”
His 31 wins since taking the Oregon State job in 2008 are the most for the Beavers over two years since the 1989-91 seasons (associated press).
OSU Director of Athletics Bob De Carolis:
“Craig Robinson has done an outstanding job of instilling a work ethic within the program that has allowed our student-athletes to improve on and off the court,”
“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.”

Ern sends his congrats. He’s also asking about dates for when Robinson plans oh holding his coaching clinics. Kent would receive an in-state discount, making it impossible to pass on.
