"SDSU's Brian Dutcher Becomes Highest-Paid CSU Employee with Contract Extension"

San Diego State men's basketball coach Brian Dutcher has signed a new contract, making him the highest-paid employee in the California State University system. The fully guaranteed five-year deal will pay him $2.3 million retroactively for this season, deterring power conference programs from poaching him with an eight-figure buyout. Despite being a relative bargain nationally, Dutcher's contract places him as the highest-paid coach in the Mountain West. The contract also includes annual raises and a decreasing buyout, solidifying his commitment to San Diego State.

San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher opted not to call a timeout in the final seconds of the Aztecs' Final Four game against FAU, citing a lack of plays. With a defensive lineup on the floor, the Aztecs let the clock run down and Lamont Butler hit a game-winning buzzer-beater to send them to their first national title game appearance.

San Diego State's March Madness Run: Can They Win It All?

San Diego State will make their first Final Four appearance in school history, representing a city not traditionally known for its rich basketball history. Steve Fisher arrived in 1999, taking over a lowly program that ranked among the worst in Division I. Fisher and Dutcher had a philosophy when it came to roster construction. They wanted to build a team that could defend and rebound at a high level and they recruited to that. The Aztecs are consistently one of the best defensive teams in the country and this year’s side has been no exception, ranking fourth in the country in adjusted defensive efficiency and among the nation’s best in total rebounding rate.
