Meanwhile the former URI coach will be paying his assistants the following salary at his new gig:
Hunter $315,000
Moore $250,000
Young $250,000
Total Base Salary: $815,000
UConn Men's Notebook: Salary For Assistants, Benedict Discusses Recruiting

Thorr Bjorn increased URI's salary pool by 6.25% to $425,000, a figure approximately half of what UConn will pay. Based on its pay structure, I guess URI is quite committed to continually replacing head and assistant coaches.
FWIW - It is just as bad for the other lower level positions as well:
Director of Admin: UConn $160,300 URI $46,500
DBO: UConn $80,000 URI $38,000
I wonder how Ty Bosell felt about getting a 6.25% raise instead of more than doubling his salary. Was he disappointed to be staying in Kingston?
