Seahawks Announce Extension for Siddle

Successful UNCW men's basketball head coach Takayo Siddle has agreed to a five-year contract extension that will keep the third-year head coach in the Port City at least through the 2027-28 season.
 
Siddle's extension was approved by UNCW's Board of Trustees during an emergency session that was called on Thursday, April 13, 2023.
 
"Early on, it was clear to me that we had the right leader in place for our men's basketball program and making sure he felt supported was a top priority," said Michael Oblinger, UNCW's new athletic director. "Coach Siddle has done a terrific job as head coach and done things the right way. We're looking forward to many more achievements and successes in the years to come."
 
Siddle has steered the Seahawks to a 58-29 overall record over the last three years. UNCW has compiled a 33-16 record in Colonial Athletic Association games, advancing to the CAA Tournament championship tilt in each of the last two years.
 
"It takes an unwavering commitment to win championships," said Siddle. "Coaches, support staff and players have to be all-in, but without an extremely supportive administration, it would not be possible.
 
"Chancellor Aswani Volety, the Board of Trustees and our athletic director, Mike Oblinger, are tremendous. I have been inspired by their commitment, support and vision for our program. I look forward to the great things we will achieve together in the future."
