Miami of Ohio extends Coles' contract (AP) (sports.yahoo.com)

Miami of Ohio has decided to keep Charlie Coles, who overcame life-threatening heart problems to coach last season. The 67-year-old coach got a three-year contract extension Thursday, giving him a chance to add to his school-record total of 224 wins in 13 seasons. The main question for Coles was his health -- he had four operations last year, including major heart surgery.
