2021-22 College Hoops Coaching Carousel

#726      

If the Kentucky program were to move on from its coach of 13 years, the university would have to pay a serious price.

Coach Cal’s buyout this year is $52 million. This buyout figure decreases by a little more than $6 million per year over the next eight seasons.

Howard not going to be an assistant at Mizzou. He makes $407k at TX.

.......Gates' contract includes a salary pool of $915,000 for his three assistant coaches. Martin's assistants--Chris Hollender, Cornell Mann and Marco Harris-Stevens--made a combined $680,000 last season. Martin's total staff pool was $1.1 million, but that included the salaries for the director of operations, the strength and conditioning coach and the video coordinator. The $915,000 in Gates' agreement is specifically for three assistants. Gates has not yet named any of his three full-time assistant coaches.....

FYI Illinois assistant salaries

Anderson $425
Alexander $350
Frazier $525

No reason for KY to have such a big buyout. Where is Cal going to go from KY?
LA Lakers would be the perfect fit for that arrogant/overrated grease ball. He'd fit right in with Lebron and his "super team" (which is currently ranked 10th in the Western conference with a laughably pathetic losing record of 31-42 and will most likely miss the playoffs entirely )

Lewis does have the Indiana connection, having played for Knight at IU from 1997-2000. He was also an assistant at EIU, Butler, and Nebraska in the past.

And he was actually pretty good as an assistant during his time in Charleston. Granted that was during the Mike Miller era in Charleston in the mid to late 2000s but Lewis was still able to help recruit some all-conference players in Tyler Laser and James Hollowell. Foxsports.com did an article about him back in 2010 and listed Lewis as one of the Top 5 assistant coaches in the OVC at that time.

🙄 that’s “all he did”? Come on. Of course this is how it was done. Any other way would be a breach of fiduciary duty to the university.
I didn't mean for it to come off like I had an issue with it, I was just posting the tweet as it was another coach on the carousel. Maybe, I should have posted the original one instead of the one with Goodman complaining!

Also worth mentioning, they got to collect another 3 weeks of pay too. Given what these coaches make that's not nothing. If this timing is so bad his agent could always have negotiated the drop in buyout to come March 1 or March 15 instead of April 1, but he didn't, because that would have been dumb.

Speaking of Hollender, with him being a Mattoon native, has there ever been any talk of him as an assistant? I love our assistants and hope they stay forever, but we all know that won't be the case. Hollender has been in the game for a long while and curious about the discussion here, or shown interest that I don't recall

also, maybe Jordan's agent (or whomever advises him on these matters) should've thought through this when agreeing to the buyout language in the contract. If that was so worrisome to them, let the buyout drop earlier so your boss doesn't have incentive to keep you longer than he/she wants to.
