Hillsman's SU team was eliminated in the NCAA Tournament round of 64 last year, two years removed from its season ending in the NCAA Championship game.
Syracuse women’s basketball head coach Quentin Hillsman reached a long-term deal with SU Athletics to continue coaching through 2024 on Thursday, according to an SU Athletics press release.
“I am very fortunate and appreciative of this opportunity,” Hillsman said in the release.
Since beginning at SU in 2006, Hillsman’s compiled a 241-127 overall record, took the Orange to the NCAA Tournament seven times — currently, SU’s been to six straight — and led Syracuse to the 2016 national championship game.
Hillsman has also coached four All-Americans along with four WNBA draft picks: Kayla Alexander, Brianna Butler, Alexis Peterson and Brittney Sykes.
Syracuse went 22-9 overall in 2017-18 and was eliminated in the Round of 64 in the NCAA Tournament by Oklahoma State.
