Well, that was quick.
Following their elimination at the hands of the Golden State Warriors Sunday night, Portland Trail Blazers head coach Terry Stotts has signed a contract extension, reports The Athletic's Shams Charania.
Portland fell 119-117 in Game 4 of the Western Conference Final to give Golden State their fifth straight NBA Finals appearance.
Stotts has guided the Blazers since the beginning of the 2012-13 season. Prior to that, it was Kaleb Canales who coached the team on an interim basis and Nate McMillan for seven and a half seasons before that.
Portland closed out the regular season at 53-29 to make the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
