Purdue Basketball: Steve Lutz’ Contract

Related Topics: Basketball

Lutz is getting a short, two year deal. Obviously, if he doesn’t become a head coach and does a great job, we would renew his contract after his two years were up.

His base salary is $250,000 dollars. I feel as if that is fair for a recruiting coordinator and being one of the top assistants on the staff. I tried to find what his previous earnings were at Creighton, but failed.

I would assume that this is a pay raise, as he is in the same position at a different school. Basically, it is a lateral move for Coach Lutz, other than Purdue being more well known than Creighton, which will lead to a head coaching job for him much quicker.
