Re: Time Warner is not the problem

I think if you want to be a big-time program, you have to pay your head
coach a comparative salary.  See Calipari, Pitino.  Yes, those coaches have
earned their pay, bu Mick will too.  It wont be long before we're giving him
an extension and a raise.

Tom Crean-$1.65 mil (From $1.1 last year)
Pitino - $2.2 mil
Calhoun - $1.4 mil
Rutgers Hill $0.5 mil
I'm sure Boeheim is way up there also.

These are just 4 I picked up off the web.  Nothing against Rutgers(Didn't
they organize the first basketball team ever?) But do you want to be Uconn &
Cuse, or Rutgers?

People forget Huggs came from Akron and so many people think its going to be
a hard transition for Mick.  I disagree.  I think he is such a hard worker,
he will succeed and get us back in a position to be a perennial top 25 team.

Speaking of incomes Mick' salary is 900 thousand a year.  Think you could
afford tickets if you made that much? Huggin's salary was 700  thousand a
year
for a guy that had 14 straight NCAA trips and hundred's of wins.  I never
could
figure out why they paid Mick so much. He would have taken the job  for 600
thousand a year in a heartbeat I think. Anybody have any ideal why he  got
that
much? Don
