The Boston Herald has a little section on public employees salaries which
includes the head hockey coaches at Massachusetts and UMass-Lowell. IIRC,
Toot was making around $200K and Blaise Macdonald around $175K, do Umile's
salary is not out of line with 2 HEA coaches whose salaries are a matter of
public record.
