Calipari top paid college BB coach..

IMHO this list has quite a few salaries that should be WAY different:

I can't believe Rick Barnes makes more than Jay Wright, Tom Izzo, and Roy Williams.

And Leonard Hamilton and Jim Boheim. The comparative stats are not a good look .

It's easy to understand, Tennessee doesn't have to make any "Strong A@@ Offers" and Fulmer has more money to pay our coach.

I love Barnes, and he's been great for our program, but he's way overpaid. We are paying him $4.7m/year not because he's worth that but for the right to not have a worse coach than him. It's absolutely insane he makes more money than those guys you mentioned.

They pay that much for a recruiter

And Cronin makes more than Barnes.

I hope they double his salary

A closer look at Kelvin Sampson's new UH contract

Kelvin Sampson's new contract at Houston is interesting. $300k base per year and $2.7 million Non-Salary. Are most coaching contracts structured this way or is the 2.7 a personal services contact when Tilman Fertitta?

Exact math could be a little bit off, but if Saban made the same % of Alabama's football revenue that Cal makes of Kentucky's basketball revenue, he'd make about $25m/year.

Head coach base salaries are always in the 000’s range. The rest of it comes from other sources.

Pretty crazy. We got that football money to spend, they dont.

UCLA overpaid Cronin.

 

[Hoosier_Vol]

Ironically UK’s players are also highest paid in the country.

 

[Boston Vol]

UCLA overpaid Cronin.

They really didn’t have a choice. He was like their 7th choice.

They really didn’t have a choice. He was like their 7th choice.

They're wasting money on coaches when they should be buying players again.
