no, the contract "enhancements" were grossly excessive...

He was extended through 2029, given a top 10 salary, and a ridiculous $25M+ buyout.
And as I've pointed out several times, last year's win total was based on 3 things:
(1) an historically weak schedule
(2) extreme statistical "luck" in close 50/50 games
(3) talent inherited from the previous coach, in particular Kobe Brown.
Take away *any* of those 3 factors, and last year's team never would have had the opportunity to get blown out by Princeton in the NCAA Tourney.
