Basketball is a popular sport that has many jobs associated with it. Some are in the National Basketball Association, while others are with high schools or colleges, or with the WNBA and other teams. Additionally, there are numerous opportunities for those who want to work in sports administration or media.
Some of the highest paying jobs in basketball are those related to scouting and executive management. Lead scouts are responsible for evaluating player talent, and can earn salaries of $433,000 per year. Scouts are also responsible for attending college and international games, as well as draft combines. This job is ideal for people with a strong interest in the game and an ability to analyze data and information.
Sports announcers are another high-paying basketball job. This career involves analyzing game footage and narrating live games. It is important that a sports announcer has excellent communication skills, as they are responsible for the entire audience experience of watching a game of basketball. This job is ideal for people who enjoy the game and have a good voice.
College basketball head coaches are another group of individuals who can make substantial salary in the sport. Depending on the school, these jobs can be very prestigious. Scott Drew, for example, took over a Baylor program that was not known for its basketball before coming in and winning nine NCAA Tournaments and three Elite Eights in ten years. This is a great testament to his coaching abilities, and the program has grown into one of the top 20 in the country.
