ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (AP) - The new coach of the University of New Mexico's women's basketball program has been offered a five-year deal making at least $250,000.

The university on Wednesday announced that Mike Bradbury would replace Yvonne Sanchez, who was fired in mid-March after five seasons as head coach.

Bradbury's hiring is still pending but he has signed a letter of agreement on a five-year contract with a base salary of 50,000 for year one that increases to $275,000 thereafter. The contract will include a buyout if Bradbury is fired and has an incentive clause for performance, such as NCAA appearances or conference championships, and ticket revenue plateaus.

Bradbury has coached the women's team at Wright State in Ohio since 2010. He led the team to a 25-9 finish this season.
