Oklahoma City Thunder, Scott Brooks agree to contract extension

Per team policy, terms of the deal were not disclosed. Previous reports have detailed it as a four-year deal worth between $16 million and $18 million, fully guaranteed.

The 46-year-old Brooks is believed to have made $2.1 million last season, which was the final year of his initial three-year deal as OKC's coach. That contract expired at 12:01 a.m. Sunday.

"Continuing with Scott as our head coach is extremely significant for the future of our organization," Thunder general manager Sam Presti said in a statement released Monday night. "As we have continually communicated, he has been integral to our success and we have a deep appreciation for his tireless dedication to our players' development. His experiences and core values are invaluable to our players as they continue to grow and improve and we are thrilled to continue our partnership."

The team has called an 11 a.m. news conference Tuesday to announce the signing.

Efforts to reach Brooks on Monday night were unsuccessful.

Brooks became the Thunder's interim coach on Nov. 22, 2008, after P.J. Carlesimo was fired following a 1-12 start.

In Brooks' three full seasons as coach, the Thunder advanced to the playoffs each season and had the third-most victories (152) in the NBA behind the San Antonio Spurs (161) and Chicago Bulls (153).

Brooks is 174-125 (.582) during the regular season and 24-19 (.558) in the postseason.

The Thunder this season won its second straight Northwest Division title and defeated the Spurs 4-2 for the Western Conference crown.
