Talks between Reed and athletics director Teresa Phillips have intensified as the Tigers have started 6-0 overall and 2-0 in the OVC heading into Saturday’s game at Southeast Missouri. An extension for Reed and possible pay raise could be agreed upon soon, according to Phillips.
“This is how it is in coaching,” Phillips said. “Coaches win and they get patted; they lose and they get fired. When we started talking heading into the season it wasn’t just about money or adding years. It was to do some revision work to his contract to make it similar to some of our other coaches. Now we’re talking more about an extension and money.”
TSU has hired new men’s and women’s basketball coaches since Reed signed his five-year deal with an annual salary of $160,000 before the 2010 season.
