I hope whatever the buyout conditions were in her initial contract, they’ve been significantly increased. Really looking forward to what CTD and her coaching staff can accomplish at Fairfield in the next few years.

Wow, that is great news! Excited to see what the next 3 years brings. I have to imagine the phone is ringing with portal candidates looking to do what Selimovic, Gallagher, Mcgurder and Iza did...

A move to the A10 could certainly keep her a bit longer.

Thrilled that CTD is staying, and while I don't doubt her sincerity, IMO her retention does lend credulity to the case that Fairfield is poised to move up.

AWESOME!!! Very happy for CTD and staff! I rarely quote myself on the blog, but I did say this in another thread several days ago (hahaha)!
“Sometimes the job/opportunity you want is not available right away. Good thing is now, FU is a great place to stay at. Admin and community behind the program, new arena, great part of the country to recruit in…. I think CTD is a very smart, strategic coach/person. She is not going to jump just for anything. Also, she & staff are building something special here. There is a lot of gratification in that!”
Btw,, Blake’s posts are pretty funny.

I am shocked that she agreed to the 3 year extension. I thought for sure she would be negotiating for another job during the NCAA tournament. The 3 year extension at least assured she will coach the stags for next year. Most of these contracts include a buy out clause which allows CTD to leave buying out the remainder of the contract. I hope that won’t be the case because I believe she and her staff are a great fit at FF. Stags up! Stags way up with CTD!!!

The energy and excitement surrounding CTD, her staff, and the team is off the charts! I am glad Nemec and Schlickman got this done.
And Snoop Dog has us going to the Quarterfinals. What a time to be a Fairfield women's basketball fan!

I am very happy for Carly and Fairfield. This is my first year closely following the women's team. I always followed from a distance, but this year the success of the team and the exciting style of play have made me a true fan. Carly's coaching skill and charismatic personality along with the work of the social media staff have created a unique identity for the program that will lead to strong recruiting classes and interest from those entering the portal from other schools. It is a formula for sustained success. If she continues to grow the program she won't have to leave to move up, because the team will be moving up. Great news!
