Dick Umile plans to return for 25th season at UNH

University of New Hampshire head coach Dick Umile announced Wednesday that he would return to his alma mater for a 25th season behind the bench in 2015-16. The Melrose, Mass. native has racked up 560 wins during his tenure at the school that has included four trips to the Frozen Four and 17 NCAA Tournament appearances.

Umile, the winningest coach in school history, told WMUR's Jamie Staton that he'd be back next season in a season-concluding exit interview on Wednesday.
