FAIRFAX, VA. — George Mason has signed basketball coach Tony Skeen to a one-year contract extension through the 2028-29 season.
Athletic director Marvin Lewis announced the deal Thursday. In his first season as coach, Skeen led the Patriots to 20 regular-season wins for the first time since 2011-12. The school did not announce financial terms.
“We are committed to Tony and excited for the success of our men’s basketball program on and off the court in his first season as our head coach,” Lewis said.
Skeen thanked the George Mason administration for its support of the program.
“We are setting a standard of excellence that our fans and supporters can be proud of,” said Skeen. “We can’t wait for November.”
George Mason’s 13-2 start last season matched the 1983-84 team for the best in school history. It ended 20-12.
