Lennox Forrester hires first assistant

[Da Coach]

Don't know if this was mentioned yet.
Lennox Forrester has hired his first assistant coach, Mark Allaria. Allaria is a former Evansville player who had been an assistant under Marty Simmons at SIUE for 4 years before leaving to coach last year at Edwardsville high school

Nice article about Lennox with some quotes from Jim Les.

I wonder if there's a possibility that Lennox Forrester could be getting at least one transfer to SIU-E from a certain Division 1 school that we all know.

what do you think the pay increase is from being an assistant at bu to head coach at siu-e?

[Da Coach]

Head coaches at Division 2 schools do not make the kind of salaries they can make at Division 1 schools.
And some assistant coaches in Div 1 earn as much as $250,000.

Though most of them make 1/4 to 1/2 of that.

I have no idea what Bradley assistants make or what the SIUE job pays. But I would guess he is making around 50% more there as head coach than he did as an assistant at Bradley.

Probably not enough to get a date with your avitar!
