I hear you on that one, but I think these folks were assistants (at least the one from UConn, Sheah Ralph, was and I know the coach from Tennessee wasn't Pat Summit). Andy Landers was there from Georgia but he's local so I guess that makes sense. From what I understand the assistants don't make too much versus what head coaches pull in. Still, getting to do what you love for a living definitely has its perks even if you're not pulling in the big bucks yet.
