MANHATTAN, Kansas – K-State Athletics announced a new five-year contract for women’s basketball head coach Jeff Mittie, extending his tenure through the 2028-29 season. The agreement was approved by the K-State Athletics, Inc., Board of Directors.

Mittie, who led the team to its fifth NCAA Tournament bid and eighth overall postseason appearance, has built a strong program at K-State. Under his guidance, the Wildcats have a 190-135 record, including four 20-win seasons. Mittie is close to reaching the 200-win milestone at K-State, needing just 10 more victories.

Entering his 11th season with K-State, Mittie has the second-most NCAA Tournament appearances and victories in the program’s history. He has also mentored numerous All-Big 12 and All-American players.

The Wildcats return 10 letter winners for the 2024-25 season, including standout center Ayoka Lee and senior guard Serena Sundell.
