I'm not sure what this means. Should white coaches be hiring more black assistants? Should black coaches be hiring fewer? Vice versa? Since most of Div. I college basketball is black, should most coaches be black? Do good players make good coaches?
HOUSTON (AP) -- White head coaches are less likely than their black counterparts to hire black coaches as assistants, limiting black coaches' careers in schools with Division I basketball, a study released Tuesday suggests.
Texas A&M University's Laboratory for Diversity in Sport surveyed 191 Division I men's basketball programs and found that blacks make up 30 percent of assistants on the staffs of white head coaches and 45 percent of assistants to black head coaches.
"We have a long way to go before we can say there is fairness in some college hiring practices,'' said study author George Cunningham.
