Money Ball

It came out last week that Duke men's basketball coach Mike Krzyzewski will make $9.7 million this year, likely making him the highest-paid coach in America. Here's how the leaders in other sports and a not-so-random selection of other coaches match up.

$9.7 million Coach K Duke

~$7 million Nick Saban Alabama

$40KJohn Wooden UCLA

~$600,000Bob Hoffman Mercer

$11 million Phil Jackson Lakers

$5 million Mike Scioscia Angels

$7 million Doc Rivers Clippers

~$2 million Mike Babcock Red Wings

$7.5 million* Bill Belichick Patriots

*Forbes estimated Belichick's salary at $7.5 million in 2009 and the number has stuck, but (surprise, surprise) no one outside the team actually knows what he earns.
