One of the highest paid coaches in CBB by my count.



Throwing that SEC money finally! Good for Coach Gates.

He's put asses in the seats again, so he pays for himself. Nice job. And that buyout should keep people from sniffing around him for a while.

I think around 7 sellouts this year? And the most wins since like 2012? Just an amazing performance.

*Most wins in 11 seasons (not done yet)

*Doubled win total from last year

*Highest ever SEC finish

*First SEC Tournament semifinals appearance

*Almost as good a year as Jerry Stackhouse per SEC coaches

I'm not surprised. He was the hire of the year in basketball if you ask me. If you have SEC money and you are lucky enough to find an SEC level coach, than splash that cash to keep them.

SEC is still somewhat in denial that Mizzou is in the SEC.

How long can Gates keep Young on staff? I feel he has been a huge help this year in many ways. Not just recruiting...

Yeah. That is the issue. It is hard to keep the assistants when people start throwing money at them. Pat Summit used to say the main reason she had so many good teams was that she convinced her AD to pay her assistants extremely well.

Young is a really good Asstistatnt Coach. He gets paid more than most Head Coaches do that aren’t at a P5/P6 school. At the beginning of the season $600,000 and he probably makes more since Gates new contract. The HC at Georgia Southern is making $230,000. He didn’t have a good record at his only HC job at GS he was 43-84.

As a HC at Georgia Southern from 10-13:
9-23
5-27
15-15
14-19

We can probably keep him unless a P5/P6 school hires him.
