Stetson inks men's hoops coach Waugh to three-year extension

DeLAND, Florida - One of the youngest men's basketball
coaches in Division I, Derek Waugh will have the chance to get a
little older at Stetson.

Stetson signed the 33-year-old Waugh to a three-year contract
extension, Hatters athletic director Jeff Altier announced
Wednesday.

Waugh has recorded a 51-73 record in his five seasons with the
Hatters, including 10-14 this season, a campaign that has been
highlighted by a 56-52 victory over Georgia on December 31 - the
program's first win over a Southeastern Conference opponent in
21 years.

"Derek and his staff are taking our men's basketball program in
the right direction," Altier said. "They have overcome
significant obstacles, they have enhanced recruiting -
especially within the state of Florida - and they have
effectively changed the style of play that will help the program
reach a high level of success in the near future."
