FGCU Extends Basketball Coach Pat Chambers’ Contract Through 2029 Season

Florida Gulf Coast University locked in men's basketball head coach Pat Chambers through 2029. Athletics Director Colin Hargis made it official on Oct. 29, 2025, with a three-year extension.

Chambers secured one of the best recruiting hauls the program has ever seen for 2025. Under his watch, the team has punched tickets to postseason tournaments while he's drilled toughness and accountability into his players.

"We are thrilled to extend the contract of Pat Chambers," Hargis said in a statement, according to FGCU Athletics. "Chambers, along with his entire coaching staff, demonstrates incredible leadership, dedication to student-athlete development, and commitment to FGCU's values, which makes each of them integral to our continued success."

The announcement dropped days before the Eagles start their 2025-26 campaign. 

Chambers brings years of coaching know-how to the bench. His intensity has defined what FGCU basketball looks like during his stint with the Eagles.

The Eagles tip off at 7 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 3, against New College of Florida. Alico Arena in Fort Myers hosts the contest.

Fans can track the squad on Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and Facebook. All accounts use the handle @FGCU_MBB.
