[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 555760, member: 282"] I am blending the "coach has to pay" with the "school has to pay" buyouts, and I shouldn't have lumped them in the way I did. But, I think they're related in the sense that, if the school wants a buyout for a coach leaving before the contract is out, the coach has negotiating leverage for at least reciprocity. I think the schools should be in the stronger bargaining position than the coaches, but if I were the AA, I would be willing to drop buyout amounts on both sides. The value to the school seems to be small. I realize that Temple loses a lot of football coaches, but they have fairly standard buyouts and the buyouts didn't help much. I do believe the schools are bad negotiators. If we had the equivalent of a salary cap for coaches, we'd be allocating it more like the Raiders than the Patriots. I think we underspend on assistant coaches and other support areas. Our negotiating weakness is that the Georgia States and the Mercers of the world might have an easier path the the NCAA than we do. They won't make much noise there, but they're climbing over a shorter hill to get there. Moneyball comes up a lot on this site. One MLB team did make dramatic waves in baseball, but they also charted their own course. They didn't have to collude--they just needed a value model to follow. We aren't doing that--we're just doing what everyone else is doing. Finding a big pile of money would help us out, but I haven't seen us doing anything different that would work without that pile of money. Is there a WAR for basketball coaches? That'd be interesting to look at. Regarding head coaching quality vs supply and demand, the coaches we missed out on when replacing Hewitt and Gregory are mostly in the same place we are. Shaka Smart was successful, but have any of the others done anything? [/QUOTE]
