Southeast Missouri State men's basketball coach Dickey Nutt signs extension

Southeast Missouri State athletics director John Shafer announced Friday that men's basketball coach Dickey Nutt signed a one-year contract extension.

Nutt now is signed through the 2013-14 season.

"We felt that Dickey has made great strides with the men's basketball program at Southeast Missouri," Shafer said in a statement. "I want to thank Dr. Dobbins and the Board of Regents for approving our recommendation."

Nutt led the Redhawks to the second round of the Ohio Valley Conference tournament this season. They finished 10-22.

Southeast said the terms on the one-year extension are the same as the original contract, which pays Nutt $120,000 annually.
