GSU renews hoops contracts for men's, women's coaches

GRAMBLING, Louisiana -- Grambling has renewed the contracts for its men's basketball and women's basketball coaches for an additional year, the University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors approved Thursday at its board meeting.

Men's basketball coach Shawn Walker and women's basketball coach Nadine Domond, who were both hired last July, received new contracts effective July, 29, 2015. The contracts, which were set to expire in three months, are again for one year until July 29, 2016.

Walker and Domond will both make $120,000 with a buyout of $60,000 and no additional incentives.

Walker made the jump from Division II Elizabeth City State to Grambling in 2014 and endured his share of struggles. The Tigers went 2-27, finished last in the Southwestern Athletic Conference and failed to beat a Division I team for the second time in three years.
