Overview
- Reports from TexAgs, later confirmed by ESPN, say Texas A&M and Bucky McMillan have a deal in principle that includes an extension and a market salary adjustment.
- The raise is expected to move him from one of the SEC's lowest-paid coaches to the league's top 10 and into the top 30 nationally.
- McMillan's first season produced a 22-12 record, an 11-7 SEC mark that tied for fourth, a 10-seed in the NCAA Tournament, a win over Saint Mary's, and a Round of 32 loss to Houston.
- Hired late with only one returner, he rebuilt the roster with about 10 transfers and installed a pressure, fast-paced, three-point style known as 'Bucky Ball.'
- Before College Station, he went 99-52 in five seasons at Samford with sustained 20-win years and one NCAA Tournament berth.
