If the salaries of NBA players are public, this is not the case for those of NBA coaches, who earn a very good living and some have much better salaries than a good part of the players. Sometimes a few figures are leaked and Sportico has conducted a survey to establish a ranking of the best paid coaches in US Sport, where some NBAers appear.
NFL coaches outrageously dominate this ranking, but among them is Gregg Popovich, who earns around $ 11.5 million a year and ranks 5th and number 1 in the NBA. He is the only NBA coach to earn more than $ 10 million a year and second in the Top 10 is Steve Kerr, 10th with $ 9.5 million.
John Calipari, who officiates in NCAA, is him the 3rd best paid. Then we find Doc Rivers, Erik Spoelstra, Mike Budenholzer, Nick Nurse and Steve Nash.
Note that Sportico reports that the new and lowest paid NBA coaches have a salary of around 2.5 to 3.5 million dollars per year, above the minimum wage for a player.
