Liberty University announced Wednesday that it has extended its contract with basketball coach Ritchie McKay through the 2028 season.
“I am very honored and extremely excited by the commitment that our President Prevo, Ian McCaw and our administration has made to our program,” McKay said. “Many are responsible for the upward trajectory that we’ve experienced, but especially our student-athletes that continue to pursue excellence in their pursuits. That being said, our hope is to continue to improve and compete at the highest level.”

The Flames have proven to be one of the most successful programs in the country, winning 82 games in the last three seasons, which is the second most wins in Division I during that span.
