The current Sentinel article (Hamilton, Pearl to discuss contract; statement expected today : Basketball : Knoxville News Sentinel) says...

Pearl makes $1.6 million per year and is due a $500,000 retention bonus next season.

While this article (Tennessee gives football, men's hoops coaches raises - College Sports - ESPN) also from the Sentinel says.....

Pearl was previously signed through 2013 and made $1.3 million last season. His new deal increases his salary to an average $2.3 million a year. It includes a $250,000 bonus and an upfront retention bonus of $1.5 million.

So, is one factoring in a certain portion of salary that the other isn't, or what? I've heard the 2.3 mil number around here...so I assume that is correct. Does anyone have an explanation of where the Sentinel's 1.6 comes from (besides just saying "what do you expect from the Sentinel?)?

Edit:

Griff just wrote this in his blog...

Pearl's contract "averages'' $2.3 million annually through 2013 - but that's assuming Pearl is still around to collect the $500,000 retention bonus at the end of the 2010 and 2013 seasons.

Without the retention bonuses factored in, Pearl would make $1.7 million for the 2000-10 season, $1.8 in 2010-11, $1.9 in 2011-12 and 2 million in 2012-13.

So, is Calapari's 3.5 mil something that he will be earning every year - or is there a similar increase over time with a retention bonus? I just want to make sure we are comparing apples to apples here.

Not go color on people, but for a 6'0 white guy to win back-to-back MVP's is incredible.

I love Nash as well.

I don't hate Nash because he is white. Heck, I have lots of white friends.

Do you have any video of Tony Parker repeatedly breaking Nash's ankles?

I'm not really sure...but I heard before that he AVERAGES $2.3 mil over his contract. And from what it sounds like in your quotes, his salary increases after the retention bonus. But that doesn't really make sense...because he'd have to be making like 2.6-2.8 mil after his retention bonus.

I enjoyed that immensely. Just wish Big Shot Rob could have snuck in a left hook to the Canadian Choker's jaw.

I realize that, I was kidding. I figured racist was more entertaining than jingoist.
