Why is this such a pervasive rumor?

1) No info is released regarding salary of our coaches, it is pure speculation.

2) Which coach would you pay more?

3) Until an experience coach in any position comes in a demands a high salary and it is not paid then I tend to believe the coaches get paid their fair market value.
