This is honestly why it's going to be so hard to keep coaches like BR and others around the league for very long. Sure, making 5X your salary is probably more than enough to make you consider leaving, but winning 25 games in a year and not sniffing the NCAA tourney unless you win your conference tourney has got to be absolutely infuriating and disheartening and a big reason why many coaches make the move.
Are there possible solutions?
•$200,000 bonus to BR when he wins SoCon Tourney, increased by 10% whenever the same coach does it again any subsequent year?
•25% of the above for regular season championship; and also same amount added if SoCon Tourney runner-up?
•$100,000 bonus for each 1st round win in NCAA tourney, additional bonuses increased by $100,000 over previous tourney win bonus for each subsequent win in NCAA tourney, $500,000 if make Sweet Sixteen. If make Elite Eight, just say thank you, farewell, goodbye.
•75% of the above bullet if in NIT? Except making NIT final game gives a $500,000 bonus and winning NIT gives additional $600,000 bonus if he’s still our coach on August 1.
... If we had that plan, and if he were to win the SoCon Tourney this Monday and subsequently win 3 NCAA games, his bonuses for the year would total $1 million I think, perhaps a maximum of half that total for NIT wins.
Of course, along with those bonuses, I believe we’d also need to at least immediately double his salary - which we probably should do even if he wins “only” 2 games this weekend.
