Overview
- Athletic director Ed McLaughlin announced Monday that Martelli signed a two-year extension that runs through the 2031–32 season.
- In his first year, Martelli guided VCU to a 28-8 record and the Atlantic 10 tournament championship.
- VCU beat North Carolina 82-78 in overtime for its first NCAA tournament win since 2016, then lost to Illinois in the Round of 32.
- The school has not released financial terms of the new deal, while local reports list a $1.5 million first-year salary, $100,000 annual raises, and $102,500 in bonuses under his original contract this season.
- McLaughlin said the extension preserves progress for a program that claims three A-10 titles in four years and 12 NCAA appearances in the past 15 seasons.
