Florida A&M Vice President and Director of Athletics Kortne Gosha announced contract extensions for head football coach Willie Simmons, head men’s basketball coach Robert McCullum and head women’s basketball coach Shalon Pillow after Board of Trustees approval on Wednesday afternoon.
“The past year has been filled with uncertainly and our coaches have demonstrated the highest levels of leadership and stability as we lead our programs into the Southwestern Athletic Conference,” said Gosha. “We are excited about trajectory of our programs and it was important that we maintained elite coaches to ensured that continuity. I am grateful to President Robinson, Board of Trustees, and Foundation Board for their unwavering support.”
Pillow, who also signed a three-year extension through 2024, took control of the FAMU women’s basketball program during the summer of 2020, bringing coaching experience from stints at Middle Tennessee State, Kentucky, South Florida and Hofstra. She also played basketball under legendary Tennessee head coach, Pat Summitt and has already demonstrated a wealth of experience in her national recruiting.
