BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — On Wednesday UB announced women's basketball coach Felisha Legette-Jack has agreed to a five-year contract extension.
"I want to thank President Satish Tripathi and Director of Athletics Mark Alnutt for this opportunity to continue to grow our women's basketball program," said Legette-Jack.

I am sincerely grateful to President Tripathi and Mr. Alnutt for entrusting me with this opportunity."
While with the Bulls, Legette-Jack has a 143-86 record along with a trip to the Sweet 16 in 2018 and a trip to the Round of 32 in 2019.

"Our players are now professional athletes, on the road to becoming doctors, and phenomenal women. I have witnessed the most amazing ladies grow, change, evolve and stand in their greatness and I am fortunate to coach each one of them.

To grow this program to a Sweet 16 team and reach the postseason four times during our tenure is a testament of our village. Together we built it and together we will take it to the next level."
