what does an NBL coach get paid?

Here's something i don't know, how much does an NBL coach get paid?

What made me pose this question? I was thinking how badly Perth are going to do this season and thought that Scott Fisher would not have been my first choice as head coach for a team going through a period of 'rebuilding'. And remembered Black was cut for some unkown (Longley/Vlahov going for a mate) reason. Obviously Black didn't go for Cairns because of the money, more like the position was available. But what is a caoch actually paid in comparison to the players?

Depends who the coach is and who the players are.

Smyth is on around $180k and Brehney around $120k.

Average is $120k for head coach and $60k for assistance.

Depends. Senior executives and their "assistance" are on much bigger money than this.

Check AFL coaches also if you want to complain about the NBL.

And to put a different spin on it, what do you think NBA "assistance" get paid? Check this for an idea:

Tell you whatg wak...why dont you tell us how much YOU get paid?

Why does it matter how much someone gets paid - surely this is an issue purely between the person in the role and their employer? If the employer feels that the person is performing to the value of their wage/salary, great. If not, the employer will fire them. It's that simple.

I dont think there is any problem discussing what NBl coaches get paid. I was very interested to know.

Smyth deserves every cent, he's a champ.
