Arizona women’s basketball has the 11th highest-paid coach among public schools according to USA Today. Adia Barnes received two raises last spring, the final one landing her at $1,012,000 after she led the Wildcats to the national championship game. Of that amount, $1 million comes from the school and $12,000 is from “other sources.”
The numbers published by USA Today have Barnes as the second-highest paid coach in the league, but they do not account for Stanford’s Tara VanDerveer or USC’s Lindsay Gottlieb, who both coach at private schools that do not regularly make salaries public.
