If the going rate for a top rated basketball coach is $7m - $8.5 m per year, would this be a potential "moneyball" move. Pick a good, young basketball coach - possibly even top notch high school coach - and have them agree to a contract for 3-4 years at about $500,000.00. Tell them the top group of players will all make more than him.
Next, allocate the current basketball NIL funds with the $6.5m - $8m we just saved on our new coach. Use those funds to buy 2-4 of the best high school seniors or college transfers. Pay them above going rate. WIN?

chris beard or bust

Revenue distribution/nil is changing next year pending court cases, no coach is taking that desk tomorrow

I saw a documentary about a dog who played basketball once. We should make it the coach.

sounds a lot like our baseball program... how is that working out?

Why not hire someone who wins?

Chris Beard fits that. Dude just wins.

I doubt he'll be here, though. It would be the ultimate Day to the 'sips, though. It'd be hilarious!

Let the lolpoors do the moneyball A's thing.

Go the BoSox route, using some moneyball principles to be smarter but still spending Yankees type money
