FAIRFAX, Va.<\/strong> \u2014 George Mason has locked up the coach who brought Patriot basketball back.
The university announced Thursday that Tony Skinn<\/strong> has signed a two-year contract extension through the 2031-32 season<\/strong>, giving him the first six-year contract awarded to a head coach in program history<\/strong>.
The former Mason star and member of the Patriots’ iconic 2006 Final Four team<\/strong> has transformed the program since taking over in 2023. In three seasons, Skinn has compiled a 70-31 record<\/strong>, led the Patriots to three straight 20-win seasons<\/strong>, back-to-back NIT appearances<\/strong>, and the program’s first Atlantic 10 regular-season championship<\/strong>.
“Tony represents everything we value in George Mason men’s basketball,” Athletic Director Marvin Lewis<\/strong> said. “This extension reflects our confidence in his vision, leadership and commitment to continuing to build a nationally respected program.”
Skinn was named the Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 2025<\/strong> and owns the best three-year start by a head coach in school history. His .693 winning percentage ranks among the top active Division I coaches with at least three seasons as a head coach<\/strong>, according to George Mason.
“This extension is a testament to what our staff and players have built together,” Skinn said. “We’ve set a strong foundation over these past three years and will continue to elevate our standard. The best is yet to come.”
For Mason fans, the message is simple:
Tony Skinn isn’t going anywhere.<\/strong>
The coach behind the Patriots’ resurgence will remain in Fairfax through at least the 2031-32 season as George Mason looks to continue its climb among the Atlantic 10’s elite programs.
