Chris has received a three-year contract extension through the 2029-30 season. Under Crutchfield, the Mavericks won their first Summit League regular season and tournament championships and made their first appearance in the NCAA Tournament.
“It is an honor to continue as the head men’s basketball coach at the school I care about so deeply,” Crutchfield said. “This historic season was incredibly special in unifying our institution, rallying the City of Omaha and showing fans across the country what Omaha basketball and UNO are all about. I am grateful to Chancellor (Joanne) Li and (athletic director) Adrian (Dowell) for their work on this extension and continued trust in me and our staff. The best is yet to come for Omaha men’s basketball.”
