BALTIMORE, Md. ? MEAC Men’s Basketball Coach of the Year Todd Bozeman signed a five-year contract to remain as Morgan State University’s men’s basketball head coach.

Approximately a month after taking the Bears to their first Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference Championship in three decades and earning the program’s second consecutive postseason appearance and the first-ever NCAA tournament appearance, Bozeman has signed a deal that gives him the second-highest annual salary in the MEAC.

"I'm grateful for the opportunity to be a college basketball coach," Bozeman said. "I welcome the opportunity to continue to coach my guys."

Dr. Earl S. Richardson, Morgan's president, issued a statement to The Baltimore Sun, saying: "We're pleased. We think we have a contract that works for the university and for Coach Bozeman."

Under Bozeman’s guidance, Morgan State captured their second consecutive regular season title, won the MEAC Championship, and finished with a 13-3 conference record and a 23-12 overall mark.

In just three seasons, Bozeman has already won the most Division I games in school history.

"We are very pleased that we have completed the process of re-signing Coach Bozeman," said Floyd Kerr, Morgan's Director of Athletics. "We look forward to continuing to build on a strong men's basketball program for years into the future. The Department of Athletics is excited about the future for our student athletes and Coach Bozeman."

Bozeman’s Bears recorded top non-conference wins over Marshall, DePaul, Maryland and defeated Towson in an ESPN BracketBusters matchup. Morgan State also completed the season ranked No. 23 in the Mid-Major Top 25, No. 6 in the Washington Post Atlantic 11 Poll, and No. 1 in the Sheridan Broadcasting Network (SBN) Black College Poll.

Bozeman was also selected as the Mid-Major Coach of the Year this season.
