This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Soderberg is paid well by CrazyMary

Actually incredibly well compared to the salary for the head job at UWGB. His base is in the $300k range while also receiving NCAA tournament bonuses. Additional $20k just for making the tourney, S16, Final Four and topping out at like $65k for the national title.

I'm sure you're well-aware of the long family relationship. Soderberg's name has been out there the last few years but never left UVA. He's 58 now so maybe he's too comfortable where he's at to essentially start over at as you noted a stepping stone job. Possibly would need the perfect situation to move on as I also suspect there's a special relationship between Brad and Tony. Obviously, Dick has been very fond of Brad for a long time. Played for him and then immediately hired him just out out of college. Of course, hired Brad again as soon at he got the gig in Madison.

From everything I've heard, Tony is a really quality guy to work for too. He and his wife donated $500k a couple years ago to start a career development program for current and former UVA basketball players.
