Adrian Wojnarowski is reporting that UConn and head basketball coach Kevin Ollie have agreed to a contract extension that will pay the coach $3 million per season.

According to Wojnarowski, Ollie never received a formal contract offer from the L.A. Lakers.

Ollie reportedly made $1.6 million this season as part of a $7 million deal that was to last four more seasons. ESPN has reported that UConn was planning to pay Ollie as much as $2.6 million a season.

“I love this university,” Ollie told the Associated Press on Thursday at the New York Athletic Club where he and UConn women’s coach Geno Auriemma received Winged Foot Awards winning national titles this past season. “I am not looking for another job. Of course, you listen to different things. I got two ears, I’m going to listen, but I’m not running out there soliciting any other job. I want to be here at the University of Connecticut. … I’m going to be the UConn coach, nothing’s changed.”
