Bonaventure has also made significant academic progress during Schmidt’s tenure. Bonaventure, Schmidt’s record is 124-123. In 2012, Schmidt received a contract extension after he led the Bonnies to the program’s first Atlantic 10 championship and an NCAA Tournament berth. Two Bonnies, senior center Youssou Ndoye and junior guard Marcus Posley, were named third team all-conference. The highlights of the year included wins at eventual conference champion Davidson and at home over 18 th-ranked VCU. Last year, the Bonnies went 18-13 overall and 10-8 in the Atlantic 10 Conference – the second-most A-10 wins in the program’s history. Schmidt’s teams have had winning records five of the last seven years. These extensions demonstrate the University’s commitment to them and to our basketball programs, and I could not be happier about that.” “Both of our programs are positioned for long-term, consistent success, and that is a direct tribute to Mark and Jim. “Mark and Jim are two of the best coaches in the Atlantic 10 Conference,” said Director of Athletics Tim Kenney. Both coaches are now under contract through the 2020-21 season. Bonaventure University today announced two-year contract extensions for men’s basketball coach Mark Schmidt and women’s basketball coach Jim Crowley.
