Horn's base salary at WKU was about $150,000, with incentives that took him between $300,000-400,000. WKU officials have said Horn has a $200,000 buyout in place.
I would think our coaches salaries should be comparable to WKU's but obviously not.

I think WKU is probably an exception in the Sun Belt...they have always been basketball mad there (though a little higher, most SBC basketball coaches are more in line with the SoCon...and in the SoCon, Shulman is on the high end).

Our coaches are all being paid in the same range as most of their peers (Cremins at CofC is getting more than most, but that, like Lebo, it is more of a one time deal).

BUT...if Chattanooga ever wants to exceed their present position, yes, they do need to increase salaries to coaches. Especially for women's basketball (even though the ticket sales aren't as good...Wes puts a great product on the court and scehdules well...he does everything the right way...he should be on par salary wise with the other two top positions at UC)
