After leading the Fordham men’s basketball program to its finest season in more than three decades, Keith Urgo has signed a long-term contract extension to remain at the helm of the Rams.
Urgo, the 2023 Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year, has inked a deal that will keep him in the Bronx through at least the 2027-28 season.
“I’d like to thank Ed Kull, President Tania Tetlow and the Board of Trustees for continuing their commitment to our program,” said Urgo. “When I came to Fordham two years ago, I knew we could build something special here. I’m thrilled that the University leadership shares that vision and has made its commitment abundantly clear in terms of program investment and resources. My family and I love it here at Fordham and I can’t wait to see how high this program can climb. Every day is a great day to be a Ram!”
Kull, who promoted Urgo to the position of head coach in April of 2022, announced the extension following a season that saw the Rams finish 25-8, equaling the second-highest win total in program history. Fordham’s 12 Atlantic 10 wins and .667 conference winning percentage also set new high-water marks for the program. The Rams, who tied for second in the final conference standings, reached the semifinals of the Atlantic 10 Championship for just the second time in school history and the first since 2006.
“To put it simply, Keith Urgo believes in Fordham and Fordham believes in Keith Urgo,” said Kull. “We hope that this long-term commitment is the next step in building Fordham men’s basketball into a consistent winner on the Atlantic 10 and national stages. I think I speak for the entire Ramily when I say that I can’t wait to see where this program goes next.”
