Okay, so I was digging into something pretty interesting today – the salary of basketball coaches at Coppin State University. It’s one of those things you don’t really think about until you start looking into it. So, I rolled up my sleeves and got to work.
Starting My Search
First, I hit up the usual spots on the internet to see what I could find. You know, just typing “Coppin State basketball coach salary” into the search bar and hoping for the best. I was curious about both the men’s and women’s teams, and I wanted some hard numbers. And I also found something about Juan Dixon, but this is not today I want to talk about.
Diving into Numbers
Here’s what I found out after sifting through a bunch of web pages. The head coaches for the women’s team at Coppin State make about $67,694 a year. That’s not too shabby. But get this, the men’s team head coaches rake in around $106,663 annually. I have also learned that Bill Self, the head coach of Kansas, makes a whopping 9.6 million dollars a year, and recently signed a lifetime contract with Kansas. The first five years of the contract will pay him 53 million dollars. It’s just an amazing number!
And I found that an assistant coach at the University of Maryland earns between $45,000 and $80,000 per year, with an average base salary of $60,000. These numbers include base salary and additional compensation.
And there’s a coach named Paris, who has been with the University of South Carolina, got a big pay raise. He was given a contract extension until the 2029-30 season, and he will make an average of $4,375,000 per year, totaling $26,250,000 over six years. What a figure!
Getting More Specific
But I didn’t stop there. I wanted to see what I could find about the coaches specifically at Coppin State. One source said the head coach’s salary is estimated to be around $100,000 a year. And the average salary for all employees at Coppin State University in 2023 was about $76,274. Apparently, 117 employees were making over $100,000 a year. The highest reported pay was $378, but it doesn’t say who it was.
Looking at the Bigger Picture
I also checked out some inside looks at the salary trends at Coppin State. There were 95 salaries for 71 different jobs. The average hourly pay for an associate head coach is around $27, according to anonymous posts. These numbers give you a pretty good idea of what’s going on, salary-wise, at the university.
Wrapping It Up
So, after all this digging, I’ve got a much better picture of what basketball coaches at Coppin State are making. It’s interesting to see the differences between the men’s and women’s teams and to compare those numbers to the overall salary landscape at the university. It’s not every day you get to peek behind the curtain like this. It’s a good reminder that there’s always more to learn, even about the things we don’t usually think about. And I’m just glad I could take you all along on this little investigation with me.
