DETROIT (AP) — Detroit Mercy basketball coach Mark Montgomery has received a contract extension through 2030-31, the school announced Wednesday.
Montgomery was hired in April 2024 after working as an assistant at his alma mater, Michigan State, from 2021-24.
The Titans went 8-24 in Montgomery’s first year but improved to 17-15 last season. That was the most wins for the program since 2012-13. Detroit Mercy made its first conference title game appearance since 2012, losing 66-63 to Wright State in the Horizon League.
“We believe in the program and the culture that coach Montgomery is establishing here at Detroit Mercy,” athletic director Robert C. Vowels said in a statement.
The program will be banned from next year’s postseason for falling short of an NCAA academic benchmark.
Under Montgomery, three players earned Horizon league accolades: Orlando Lovejoy, TJ Nadeau and Tyler Spratt. Montgomery will welcome back six players in 2026.
“I am committed to building a championship program, culture and identity here at Detroit Mercy,” Montgomery said in a statement.
