Mike Woodson and His Coaching Staff

[rcbowla 7,119]

I honestly thought we'd have to pay Fife at least double that.

Don't believe you can. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe there is a cap on what an assistant coach can make

If there is some limit (which I highly doubt) it is probably way above Fife's salary. Kenny Payne was making over $800k at Kentucky before he left for the Knicks

Kenny Payne was making 800K a couple of years ago. But most good assistant coaches are right around 400K

And there may have been an undisclosed agreement that he will be taking the HC spot in a few years. I believe this was probably what tipped the scales for him. He wasn't likely to get that at MSU.

I doubt if that was discussed. Rabby did say yesterday that Dane really wanted to come back to IU.

IU football was  paying DeBoer 800k plus bonuses.

I thought Dane and/or Lewis would be in the 500-600 range.

That would be an awful decision to guarantee a guy the HC position before ever having coach in your building or with your team.  Nothing would make me happier as an IU fan than for Fife to continue to blossom and seamlessly take over for a successfully retiring CMW, but to guarantee it 5-10 yrs in advance would be a horrible decision and one I highly doubt SD made.

Dane's list of recruits at MSU is pretty impressive. Hopefully he can pull similar guys to IU.

Id expect recruting to be at a high in these next few years. Hunter and fife are very capable recruiters

So are we hearing that Lewis is an actual target? Or is it just fan speak?

Pretty certain he's the actual target. He's at the top of Peegs AC hot board.

Yes.      ;)

Can only hope it happens then.

According to Google, Lewis's salary at UCLA (in 2019) was $256,200. Of course, he'd get a raise, but it'd be easy for IU to beat UCLA's offer and bring him home. 

Correction: He was hired by UCLA in May 2019, and the salary figure above was as of Feb 2019, so that was probably what he earned at Nebraska. I couldn't find this current salary at UCLA.

Plus money goes a lot further in Bloomington than LA.

Maybe we’re saving the big payday for Lewis?

He is the assistant coming off a Final Four run.

Lewis is only making 250k at UCLA (and because of LA/CA cost of living would be like the equivalent of 175 in Indiana). If he'd get 350k at IU, that effectively doubling his salary. If he does come to IU, I'm guessing Lewis' salary will be around $300k

250K was probably at Nebraska, and it's possible that he got a little bit of raise with a cost of living adjustment. My wild guess is that his current salary is around $300K now.

yep, missed that, 250k was at Nebraska

Kenny Payne was making 800K a couple of years ago. But most good assistant coaches are right around 400K

Maybe it was IU' assistant salary range I saw then? Idk I thought I read something like that
