I heard $17M, but it drops to half after this season... 

Yeah, it was 17+ last year.

Pearl's is $8.5M

I am not sure where the $17M number came from. His buyout last year was $10M, it is $8.5M if he leaves before April 30, 2024, and it is $7M if he leaves after April 30, 2024. Auburn has a University Buy-out and a Coach's Buy-out. The university buy-out is significantly higher than the coach's buy-out. Think of the coach's buy-out as an opt out clause for the coach if he wants to leave, where the university buy-out is a severance package if they fire him. 

I don't know who Pearl's agent is, but he negotiated one hell of a contract for his client.

Was that before his extension?

Pearl’s buyout as of April 1 is $17,450,000, which is the ninth-highest in the nation and fourth-highest among SEC coaches.

I think that they were reporting the university buy-out and not the coach's buy-out. The university buy-out is 50% of what is remaining on his contract through the 2027 season and 25% of what is remaining through the 2030 season. That works out to just over $17M. The coach's buyout is a lower amount.

Tier 1 has to be guys that have won consistently (regular top 20) and have made deep NCCAT runs.

On Pardon My Take, Bilas listed Schertz first when they asked him about coaches who are doing the best job right now and changing the game schematically. He listed Schertz, Oats, and Tommy Lloyd

Well, its clear that Bilas likes pace, all 3 of those teams are top 35 in the country in tempo. I'm not convinced that is what wins comes tournament time, but Bilas has always been a proponent of turning CBB into the NBA so I'm not surprised.

Bilas was a huge Tom Crean fan, too. 
 

He always confused me because he was pretty smart on some things and down right nutty on some others.

Changing the game schematically does not necessarily mean ready to run a prominent P5 program. So yes, Schertz can accurately be dubbed an innovator and still not be a viable option for IU.

Scratch Pearl off the list!

Lloyd always makes me laugh. Can you imagine the reaction around these parts in ‘21 if Dolson had rolled out a 43 yo career Assistant from the WCC whose primary schtick was International talent acquisition?
