Ohio State athletic director Gene Smith today announced a raise for basketball coach Thad Matta, who will see an increase from $2.9 million to $3.2 million per year.

Smith told reporters of the plan at a news conference in Columbus. The deal doesn’t extend Matta’s contract, which currently runs through 2019. It still must be approved by the OSU board of trustees before it becomes official.

In his ninth season with the Buckeyes, Matta has so far won five Big Ten titles, four times advanced to the Sweet 16 in the NCAA Tournament and twice reached the Final Four. He is 234-69 at Ohio State, a .772 winning percentage.
