Is Coach Cal Overpaid?

Coach Cal has helped bring excitement back to Kentucky Wildcats basketball is less than 2 years. During that time he has 2 SEC Championships and 2 NCAA Tournament visits with at least one of those leading to an Elite 8 finish. I think he has more than earned his paycheck. But some don’t think so.

Forbes.com has our beloved Head Coach listed as the top overpaid.

[I]”At the top of our list of the 10 most overpaid: Kentucky’s John Calipari, by all accounts an excellent coach but whose $4 million annual salary, the highest in the country, doesn’t add up relative to his peers. Over 19 seasons at Massachusetts, Memphis and Kentucky, Calipari has sizzled along with a .769 career winning percentage while taking his teams to 13 NCAA tournaments.”[/I]
