In response to Bison89
Not having played at a big-time basketball high school, I do not know for sure, but it would appear that to a certain extent, coaching at a high school powerhouse is similar to coaching in college. Is this a fair assessment?
I can't say that for sure, but times certainly have changes on the high school basketball landscape. I coached High School basketball at the JV and Freshman levels, and my salary peaked at $1650. The Varsity coach made about double that. This was less than 15 years ago. And it was also at a school of a current Bison, so it's not like this was a low level program - although it certainly has stepped up significantly since I was there.
I have to imagine this is a near-full-time gig for these guys at the top level. Is it the level of commitment of a low-level college team? Probably only for the true elite programs or basketball warehouses like IMG Academy.
Additionally, I'm pretty sure they get paid significantly above the 4-digit range.
