That can't be right!

[ShockTalk]

Got to be a lot of things missing there. No way Coach K and Boeheim are 19 and 20. Heck, MT makes 1.2 mill and just got a raise to 1.5.

and the Eagle reported that Izzo makes over 3 million a year currently.

[Shox21]

This list might be base salary only -- and we all know base salary is just one component of a coach's pay.

This is from April 2009 but it's pretty much the same as last year except for a few.

Since this is about coaching changes I didn't see these mentioned:

ESPNU commentator Tim Welsh is hired as head coach for Hofstra - http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketb...-hofstra-welsh

Al Skinner fired at Boston College - http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/basketb...ollege-skinner

Looks like it's C-USA's turn for coaching turnover.

Per Gary Parrish:

New Orleans media reporting Dave Dickerson is out at Tulane after five seasons. Half of C-USA's coaches will be new next year.

Former TT coach James Dickey will be hired at Houston.

[Anthroshock]

Ummmmm.....

Uh oh?

Oliver Purnell to DePaul

http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/ncb/news/story?id=5059657

[ShockTalk]

Safe to say DePaul was looking for bigger fish than Lowery? Purnell's contract to exceed his $1.6 mill at Clemson. Wow!

Some dominos will start to fall from this.

Wonder what Noel thinks about Purnell leaving?

[wushock]

I think Clemson is one we need to worry about
