Before we get to Fred Hoiberg, here’s a quick editorial: Mike Krzyzewski’s salary at Duke is ridicuous. No hating, but the man made $9,682,032 last season according to USA TODAY’s new NCAA Tournament coaching salary database.
That’s insane!
Onto Iowa State…
Of the 68 programs that made last year’s Big Dance, Hoiberg’s total pay of $1,618,750 ranked him 27th in the field.
How does that stack up against the other coaches from the Big 12 whose teams made the NCAA Tournament? Well, Hoiberg’s pay was the lowest of them all (that are listed below).
Bill Self, Kansas, $4,960,763
Rick Barnes, Texas, $2,550,000
Travis Ford, Oklahoma State, $2,450,000
Lon Kruger, Oklahoma, $2,200,000
