(Portland, OR)  --  A three-year contract extension is intended to keep Terry Stotts the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers through the 2019-20 season.  The Blazers announced the deal yesterday, rewarding Stotts for guiding the team to the second round of the Western Conference playoffs.  Portland was initially predicted to fall short of post-season play as it began the season with a roster that was radically different from last season's.  In four seasons as Portland's coach, Stotts has the fifth-highest number of victories in team history.
