EUGENE — Oregon’s assistant men’s and women’s basketball coaches all received contract extensions this summer, with five of the six seeing increases in their guaranteed salaries.
Men’s assistant coach Kevin McKenna signed a one-year extension through June 17, 2020 for the same $300,000 salary he earned last season while fellow assistants Tony Stubblefield and Mike Mennenga each signed three-year extension through June 30, 2022 for $500,000 and $300,000 annually, respectively, plus retention bonuses of $300,000 and $100,000, respectively, if they remain at UO through the life of their contracts. That’s up from $400,000 with a $100,000 retention bonus last season for Stubblefield and up from $280,000 last season for Mennenga.
All three can a series of athletic and academic performance bonuses that are the same as in their prior contracts, which expired in June. UO released the new contracts, which were signed in August and September, in response to a public records request from The Oregonian/OregonLive.
If Oregon finishes first in the Pac-12 during the regular season, each men’s assistant coach receives a $5,000 bonus, with corresponding bonuses decreasing by $1,000 for second through fifth place finishes. A win in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals is worth $1,500 and winning in conference tournament finals is worth $3,000, though not cumulative. NIT bids are worth $1,000 and winning the NIT is $5,000 while bids to the NCAA Tournament are worth $10,000, with wins worth $5,000 per round and $20,000 in the national championship for a cumulative of $45,000. The men’s basketball team receiving an APR (academic progress rate) score between 985 and 1,000 leads to a $10,000 bonus for each assistant while a perfect score of 1,000 earns a $20,000 bonus.
Women’s basketball assistant coaches Mark Campbell, Jodie Berry and Xavier Lopez all signed one-year extensions through June 30, 2020 for $216,000, $179,152 and $105,627, respectively. That’s up from $200,000, $144,108 and $95,713, respectively, last season.
All three can a series of athletic performance bonuses that are the same as in their prior contracts, which expired in June. UO released the new contracts, which were signed in August, in response to a public records request from The Oregonian/OregonLive.
If Oregon wins the Pac-12 regular season title or conference tournament, each women’s assistant coach receives a $5,000 bonus while second-place finishes earn $2,000 bonuses. Bids to the NCAA Tournament are worth $5,000, with wins worth $2,500 each in the first two rounds, $5,000 in the next three rounds and $15,000 for the national championship for a cumulative total of $35,000.
