Coach Hep wants you.\nAnd IU wants Terry Hoeppner, too.\nDuring halftime of Saturday's radio broadcast of the IU men's basketball victory against the University of NAorth Carolina at Charlotte, Hoeppner announced he is receiving a two-year contract extension that will run through the 2011 season.\nHoeppner originally signed a five-year deal that goes through 2009.\n"He's the right guy for the job, and he has proved that in his first two seasons here," IU Director of Athletics Rick Greenspan told the Indianapolis Star on Sunday. "He's a strong representative for the institution, and his enthusiasm for the program has been contagious. He's the perfect man to head the IU football program."\nIn two seasons as IU's head coach, Hoeppner has led the Hoosiers to an overall record of 9-14 with a 4-12 mark in the Big Ten.\nThe 2006 season saw IU get within one game of bowl-eligibility before losing its final three games.\nDuring the season, Hoeppner underwent his second brain surgery in less than a year. The surgery caused him to miss two games.
