So, Coach K isn't going to retire for a VERY long time...

 

[AZVOLSFAN]

And Roy Williams is "only" #22 on the list at $1.8 million...I find that a little hard to believe.

Followed by Boeheim at 23rd. Both are hard for me to believe.

Cuonzo Martin was ranked at #33 this year! California is not even listed and #58 is $171,000.

Something tells me that Martin took less money to go to Cal.

 

[Neyland Law Vol]

Where are the other SEC ACC etc coaches? That list is not complete it may just be teams in the NCAA tourney

They obviously don't have data for all of the schools. There are a lot more than 60 schools.

interesting isn't it?

 

[bleedingTNorange]

Lmao those are the salaries of coaches who made the tournament, not all coaches in the country.

Wasn't the fact only 68 teams were listed telling?

Whats more telling is the fact that it took this long for someone to pick up on it...

I just had my jaw dropped when I saw that Tennessee was already paying Cuonzo Martin more than Connecticut was paying Kevin Ollie. You know just posted it without checking the whole thing. Sorry, about the mis impression but Tennessee does not have to pay $1.8 million for an 8-10 Big Ten guy just because his name is Pitino and he has coached one year in the Big Ten whom you seem to be advocating instead of a proven winner who is only one of 11 active coaches with over 600 wins.

Lot of interesting names on that list that could be potential hires....... hmmmm

 

[DiderotsGhost]

The biggest thing that stands out to me: Josh Pastner is VERY overpaid!

Would anyone on here take Pastner at $2.65 million over Sean Miller, Rick Barner, John Beilein, Tony Bennett, and Jim Boeheim at lower salaries?

 

[TNnative]

Something tells me that Martin took less money to go to Cal.

Either that, or Cal is opening up their purse a little. Somehow, I doubt that though.

 

[TMvol10]

Even with this just being the tourny coaches salaries, I still find it hard to believe this list is accurate. #22 Roy Williams and Boeheim at #23. Find that hard to believe.
Talk about under paid..
