Thompson’s big leap to associate head coach at Purdue basketball came with a six-figure pay bump—now earning $600K annually, up from $400K—signaling his rising value as a coach who’s turned down multiple offers to stay. Since rejoining Purdue in 2019 as a grad assistant after a brief pro stint, Thompson’s offensive genius has propelled the Boilermakers to record-setting efficiency, and helped mold stars like Braden Smith, now an NBA guard. Meanwhile, other assistants also saw raises: Paul Lusk and Brandon Brantley hit $525K, while Sasha Stefanovic and new hire Kenneth Lowe earn $200K each. The assistant coaching payroll now totals $2.05M—up from $1.85M—and head coach Matt Painter’s compensation could hit over $5M with bonuses, reflecting Purdue’s commitment to building a championship-caliber staff.
