UNCW Director of Athletics Michael Oblinger has announced a contract extension for Head Men's Basketball Coach Takayo Siddle, tying the head coach of the 2025 Coastal Athletic Association Champions to the Seahawk program through 2030.
Siddle's extension was approved by UNCW's Board of Trustees during a session on Wednesday, March 26, 2025.
"Coach Siddle and his staff have been instrumental in our historic success this decade, culminating in a CAA Championship earlier this month," said Oblinger. "We look forward to sustaining success as we continue to elevate our men's basketball program."
Siddle capped his fifth year as UNCW's bench boss with the school's return to the NCAA Tournament for the first time in eight years. The 38-year-old has produced a 106-47 record during his time in the Port City, including 99 wins over the previous four seasons. The fastest UNCW head coach to reach 100 career victories (144 games), Siddle is the only coach in the program's Division I era to guide the Seahawks to four consecutive seasons with 20 or more wins. He has navigated a pair of 27-win campaigns, including this season when he was the fourth-youngest head coach (youngest in the West Region) among the 68 schools in this year's NCAA Tournament.
