Your lying and you know. Many people do care about the race of the coach. There aren't many "like" faces on teams already, and fans would like to see the coach be a mirrored reflection.

Many black players hisorically have tunnel vision. Pro career, and nothing else. In time their views on their future will become realistic and seek different routes.
