Here's the W-L records of many of the top paid coaches over the past four seasons.
For what they're being paid...some are definitely underperforming, FWIW.
In the $4 million range
Calipari..............103-47 (33 games forfeited)
In the $3 million range
Roy Williams.......124-22
Bill Self..............122-24
Krzyzewski.........112-28
Tom Izzo...........103-40
Rick Pitino..........103-38
Jim Calhoun........102-32
Bruce Pearl..........98-37
Jim Boeheim.........96-47
Billy Gillispie.........89-43
In the $1-$2 million range
Mark Few (Gonz).105-29
Sean Miller(Xav)..103-35
Bo Ryan (WI)......100-36
Bob Huggins.........97-43
Mark Turgeon........92-44
Bruce Weber........89-48
Steve Alford.........88-44
Tim Floyd (USC)....85-50
Gary Williams (MD).84-51
Tom Penders(Hous)84-47
Brian Gregory........83-48
Tom Crean...........75-56
Rick Majerus.........74-42 (counts two years at Utah & 2 years at SLU)
Bob Knight............70-49 (last four years of coaching)
Pat Knight............66-72 (inclu. 2 yrs as asst to his dad)
Larry Eustachy......64-63 (against an atrociously weak schedule, at least 4 NAIA opponents each year!)
Dave Leitao...........63-60
Jerry Wainwright....52-72
Bill Carmody..........52-69
Under $1 million
Altman................91-40
Jim Les................86-56
Lowery................82-51
Gregg Marshall......80-50
James Jones(Yale).55-57 (Jones was a finalist for the BU spot in 2002)
so I'd say the guys who are the best bargains on the basis of wins per millions of dollars spent on the coach go to Sean Miller, Mark Few, Dana Altman, & Jim Les.
