Duke,Indiana,others(?) schools like that. These schools,MOST YEARS, have at least half the team being white players and are very good. How do they do it?
UNC has never been majority white I found out today.

Duke not a historically white basketball school? You need to watch more basketball. I was stretching with UNC and Indiana but DUKE? come on man.

da fuq brah?
You must not watch any college basketball.
Eric Montross, Tyler Hansbrough.........white guys.
Black-MJ, Stackhouse, Rasheed Wallace, Antawn Jamison, Vince Carter, Ty Lawson, Raymond Felton, James Worthy, Brendan Haywood, Joe Forte.
Recently-Harrison Barnes, Kendall Marshall. Their best players are 90% of the time black.

It's not about the schools I listed but how the ones that are majority white do it.

I'm considering players that actually play, which I'd say Duke is closer to 60/40 with more white walkons. Duke is closer to your definition but UNC is nowhere in that universe.

Not really many these days...so they really DON'T do it. Name the last majority white team to get into the final four or win it all? As in 5 of their top 7 players being white I'll say. 4 of the top 7 is just a shade over half, not significant enough IMO.

Phil Jackson quote:
Might shed a little light.
"Throughout the years the black players on the Knicks have possessed much better physical ability than the white players, being generally faster and better jumpers. I also think that they have always had superior one-on-one talent."
"White players are more often willing to run patterns and to work collectively."
"Because of the predominance of blacks in pro basketball, the sport is rapidly disintegrating into a one-on-one sport. There are only five or six NBA teams who play with more than a superficial degree of team unity."
On the Knicks: "The starting front court played white basketball while guards played black basketball."
"Black kids growing up want to be the superstar of their neighborhood. They want to be the toughest kids on the block, the richest or, once they get to the playground, the best one-on-one basketball players. White kids, on the other hand, usually are raised in a more homogeneous environment which provides other outlets for personal expression. They're also constantly being taught the principle of subordinating their own personal glory for the good of the group."
"The average player's career is a very short period of his life, and the minute he's through nobody knows who is. Twenty-five years from now the only people who will remember me will be a few trivia experts, and that's exactly how it should be. A lot of black players look at their careers differently. Many blacks have let themselves believe that being in the NBA is one of the greatest things a person can accomplish. I believe this type of feeling is ultimately very destructive, because the only way you can live with it is to get into a heavy fantasy trip. I've seen the process develop many times, and very few players ever find happiness that way

Gonzaga, Butler, and Creighton all come off the top of my head.
It tends to be the mid majors or smaller schools from the Midwest or Northeast. Always liked the number of white guys that the Missouri Valley brings to the table
