What about Coach Miller? Let's imagine an NBA team paid its head coach the same percentage of revenue. If an average team paid its head coach like the University of Arizona pays Miller, that team would pay its head coach $38.3 million (or 15.6% of $245.6 million). In other words, the average NBA team would pay its head coach more than the Golden State Warriors pay Stephen Curry (the highest-paid player in the NBA). If Miller were paid like an NBA coach, then, he would be paid only about $560,000 per season (or 2.4% of the $245.6 million in revenue).
