this is the equation that confronts the successful coaches (nothing about this logic applies to Monson, whose tenure & AD decisions defy logic)

WBB: so a salary of $250k (maybe some is camps, bonus built in)

with 4-5 successful years, at year 5 Beach can offer:

longer term extensions (7 or even 10 year, albeit 10 year would have to have a LOT of success to justify), so it's reasonable to think could offer up to $350k, but 7 years after 4-5 solid years, maybe more $$ if attendance has grown

MBB: say it's a $400 k
same thing, after 4-t years, can offer maybe $500k-$600k depending on the state of program, and and extend to 7 years,

still how do you compete with:

a $500k-$600k (or more) offer for 4-5 years at another WBB school

or a $750k-$1.5M offer for 4-5 years at another MBB school

just have to offer 'job security' and hold they like being a big fish in a small pond, and also much more potential stability in their lives

been pretty stable with coaches outside of basketball

and it's not like coaching basketball at Beach is chump change
