Because it's based on the market. Could Manieri go coach college baseball somewhere else and be paid as well? Likewise for Caldwell?
This is the correct answer.
Elite women's basketball programs (Connecticut, Tennessee) bring in pretty significant revenue. You bring in a coach like Caldwell hoping to get into that league. It's a very tough club to join but the money's there if you can and that drives up the price of a coach with a rising star.
By way of contrast, Mainieri is already at the top of the college baseball revenue ranks and his compensation isn't being pulled up by the presence of better programs.
Kinda similar to the coach of any college tennis program, men's or women's. It's actually a lot of fun to watch them play in a very close setting, but they are not exactly driving revenue no matter how good the coach is.
