BYU head coach Kalani Sitake is sticking around Provo.

Sitake spurned pursuit by Penn State to remain the Cougars’ coach, according to multiple reports, keeping him at the school he’s called home since 2016.

BYU made Sitake’s long-term extension official on Tuesday night, after he informed Penn State he wouldn’t be taking the Nittany Lions job.

“He is a proven leader, and we are grateful he is once again choosing BYU,” athletic director Brian Santiago said. “His legacy of building a championship program the BYU way will continue on. He is one of the best people in the business. We are excited to continue to ride the wave of positive momentum with him.”
