Problem with your thinking, if the coach wanted to walk away from his end of the contract to a higher paying one, he isn't exactly "free" to do so. He or the other school has to pay the but out. There is no way to spin this. It was a terrible buy out/contract Benedict gave him. You're basically advocating for coaching free agency every off season.
Personally I'd rather UConn be in the business of paying more money upfront with more manageable buyouts for lack of performance.
They do that all the time. Ollie had a tiny buyout if he left. Why was it unbalanced? I’d prefer everyone was free to take any job they want. But it’s irrelevant. There is a contract. There is either cause or no cause. I hope there is cause so UConn doesn’t pay a guy not to work. It’s as simple as that.
