The Dallas Morning News filed an open records request and Texas Tech released the terms of Billy Gillispie's new contract at Texas Tech. There are quite a few incentives. Details are:

Base: $800,000 for each year of a 5 year deal

Incentives:
$25,000 NCAA tournament appearance
$50,000 Sweet 16 appearance
$100,000 Final four appearance
$250,000 National Championship
$10,000 Big 12 Coach of the Year
$25,000 National Coach of the Year award

Evidently, there are no financial incentives for making the NIT.
 
I wonder why we have not seen more "Incentive" based contracts in mens basketball. You would think it would almost be a commission only type of job like a salesman. Of course it would put way too much pressure on the coach to cheat, but it would make sense otherwise.

Gillispie is a high risk/medium reward type of guy. If he came to Bradley and had success, he would probably look to bolt to a BCS school rather quickly; if he reverted to some of his old problems, he could do a lot of damage to the program. I don't think those are good odds.

Exactly my point, DeWigs. I'm sure he's a good basketball coach, but the personal problems far outweigh the success on the court IMO.
 
you would rather have a coach off the list that KW wrote in the paper today than Billiy? Give me a break that is a no brainer.
 
"Bradley president Joanne Glasser and athletics director Michael Cross have to get this right"
"Bradley cannot afford to fumble the hiring of a replacement for Jim Les"

Of the original list KW came up with of candidates..

...one is a JC coach and thus is likely not going to be considered as a jump to D-I head coach (assistant maybe but nobody nowadays makes the jump to HC from there)..
and of the rest half have already been interviewed & turned us down or have been hired elsewhere.

I have made my thoughts known elsewhere -- gotta get someone good.........

I don't care if he likes to drink he would fit right in Peoria. He would be a great choice.

You would care if your son was choosing between BU and another school, and were looking for a role model and a solid citizen as a coach. He's an alcoholic, and I don't want that around my kid.
