The Texas A&M Aggies and head basketball coach Bucky McMillan are "finalizing" a contract extension, according to Billy Lucci of TexAgs. The deal will reportedly include a "market adjustment" to his salary.
McMillan is coming off a successful first year in charge of the Aggies, leading them to a 22-12 record and the second round of the NCAA Tournament. He signed a five-year deal with Texas A&M ahead of the 2025-26 season after they hired him away from Samford.
Despite being hired late in the cycle, he was able to build a roster that was able to play his style of basketball after signing 10 transfers. "Bucky Ball" consists of using full-court pressure, a fast tempo, and plenty of three-point attempts. They finished 4th in the SEC in 3-point percentage (35.9) and second in opponent 3-point percentage (31.8%). They also led the conference in opponent turnovers with 459.
McMillan had a successful five-year tenure at Samford before coming to College Station. He went 99-52, winning 21 or more games in each of the final four seasons and making the NCAA Tournament once. With an extension on the way, he will now be looking to have the same continued success with the Aggies.
