(Edwardsville, IL) – SIUE Director of Athletics Tim Hall has announced a contract extension for men’s basketball Head Coach Brian Barone which will take him through the 2023-24 season.
Barone’s current contract runs through the 2022-23 season, with an option for the 2023-24 season. Hall said the extra year provides some clarity to current student-athletes and potential recruits.
“Brian and his staff are doing things the right way,” Hall said. “They have progressed on the court, excelled academically and have brought in the best recruiting class in our history. This extension assures them of four seasons going forward.”
“Being the Head Basketball Coach at SIUE is an absolute honor,” Barone said. “Building a winning program is no small task, and there are no short cuts that will be taken. Under the leadership of Tim Hall, it has been a team effort in working to get our program to where it should be. I am thankful to our team and staff who work hard to help grow our program every day. Our goal is to build a consistent winner on and off the court.”

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry
After today's action, @EIUWBB is 8-0 in @OVCSports play. 4 teams @usiwbb @TTUWBB @LRTrojans @LindenwoodWBB are tied at 6-2. Six other teams are under .500. Great race to the finish lies ahead. #FatherHarry
Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
