Can minor league basketball coaches make a living without a second job or do they not make enough?
And what about lower division colleges? Or JCs? #basketball #coaching #professional-sports #coach

Here is some of the information that I found on your question.
It varies but:
*Minor league NBA coaches usually earn around $15 to $46 dollars an hour.
*Junior College coaches earn between $27,000 to $75,000 dollars per year, and many of them have jobs as educators and academic advisors at those schools.
*NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics) coaches on average make around $58,000 dollars per year.
So circumstances will vary depending upon the team, school, and the requirements and qualifications they seek in a coach.

Depends on what they do to promote themselves. Are you planning to run your own summer camps? Are you planning to wear a particular suit or jacket to advertise a company?
Coaches make a good living not only by the money they make but the connections they make with the players that become their family.
Good luck

I would argue no that coaching basketball is a sustainable career. You need to look at coaching basketball for a minor league more like volunteering your time. The salary ranges from $0 to $1500 a season. I coach because I enjoy the atmosphere, the team spirit and the sport.
