There is no good reason why should Kristi Toliver earn just $10,000 to be a Wizards assistant coach

Mystics point guard and Wizards assistant coach Kristi Toliver has a unique position. She is the first active WNBA player to be an NBA team assistant coach at the same time. It’s a great opportunity.

Her salary to coach the Wizards however is just $10,000 according to Howard Megdal of The New York Times. Megdal is also the Editor-in-Chief of High Post Hoops.

In fact, the Wizards are technically not paying a penny of Toliver’s salary. That money is coming from the Mystics’ Time-Off Bonus pool which is a total of just $50,000 per team.
