But what I keep finding is that there are a bunch of basketball coaches who have one amazing season and then get locked into incredibly lucrative long-term deals and from a financial perspective I simultaneously get it and don't
Mike Hopkins at Washington has a $12.1 million buyout because his contract was signed the day before the team's first NCAA tourney game in 8 years.

If you are a high-level college basketball program, here is my word of advice:
do not ink a contract extension the millisecond the coach performs well

do not ink a contract extension the millisecond the coach performs well
do not do that
And for the love of all that is good do not sign a contract that ROLLS OVER, Georgia Tech
