Message: [QUOTE="Improviser, post: 3636850, member: 10683"] Which is more challenging? My quick take is that pro players with guaranteed contracts ,unless in the final year or with one year deals, can be less motivated or be harder to motivate except for the appeal to team pride and having a winning record. Also, unlike in the business world, annual salaries are not performance-based or percentage of profits (law firm partners or sales managers) and are not usually guaranteed for a fixed period of time (employment at will). High level college players have the incentive of playing on a professional level based on performance in college. Also such formerly successful college coaches as Tarkanian, Hoiberg, and Montgomery had their problems once they reached the NBA. What are your thoughts? [/QUOTE]
