Message: [QUOTE="newfrontier, post: 2976055, member: 8141"] For my money I would take Suzy Merchant of Michigan State before I would take Barnes Arico. Arico's Wolverine teams are only 5-10 against Merchant's Spartans, and Arico has a lower overall winning percentage and a lower Big 10 conference winning percentage while at Michigan compared to Merchant at MSU. (.650 versus .680, .550 versus .645). Arico is only 1 year younger than Merchant and has only 1 year less as a head coach 23 yrs versus 24 for Merchant. Arico has 7 years at Michigan while Merchant has 12 years at MSU. Arico's annual compensation appears to be higher than Merchant's. Base salaries are actually quite similar, but Arico gets more money from TV/Radio and bonuses than Merchant. [/QUOTE]
