Shaka Smart will return as the head coach of University of Texas next season.
"Shaka's our coach. Nothing's changed. We won five of the last six down the stretch, finished third in the conference. We have a good team coming back. Nothing's changed on my end," said Athletic Director Chris Del Conte.
Smart was reportedly on the hot seat due to not making the NCAA tournament in two of the previous three seasons.
Texas has yet to win a tournament game with Smart as the head coach.
Smart would have been owed $10 million if he were fired this spring.
