New Oregon men’s basketball assistant coach Louis Rowe, has a short-term contract.

Rowe, who was hired by UO last month and spent the past two seasons as an assistant at South Florida, signed a six-month contract in which he’ll earn a prorated salary of $300,000 —$153,877 — through March 2024, according to the contract, provided to The Oregonian/OregonLive in response to a public records request.

Rowe also received a $20,000 signing bonus in lieu of relocation expenses, which he would owe back if he left UO prior to April 1, or if he’s offered a full-time position after March 31 he would owe back the signing bonus if he left before Oct. 1, 2024.

Previously the head coach at James Madison, his alma mater, from 2016-20, Rowe has also been as an assistant at Bowling Green (2015-16), Florida International (2014-15), Rider (2012-13) and JMU.

He can earn the same performance bonuses as assistant coach Brian Fish if Oregon wins the Pac-12 regular season title or conference tournament championship ($5,000 each), or finishes second in either scenario ($2,500). A bid to the NCAA Tournament is worth $10,000, with wins in the Big Dance worth $5,000 each and $20,000 for the national championship for a cumulative total of $45,000.
