Wow. Not trying to be a racist but Here's some info on black head coaches in the NCAA. There has only been 3 to win National Championships...

Being a racist dosn't take much effort. Just a lot of ignorance and hate.

LSU has had a basketball team since 1939. All the coaches were white except Trent. LSU has never won a national championship in basketball. Based on your reasoning, LSU should never hire a white coach again, right? Nor should the numerous other schools that have never won the national championship and only had white coaches. That is simply ignorant.

Ignorance is just ignorant. Racism is for weak minded individuals who need to feel superior to others based on group identity rather than their own individual merit.

Did you do any research in reaching your conclusin or just the little paragraph you quoted? How many BB coaches have there been since 1939? What percentage were black? What percentage of all black coaches have won the chamionship versus the percentage of all white coaches? What percentage of schools have won championships? What schools were the respective winning coach at (some school have better opportunity than others, i.e. Duke, Kentucky, NC, UCLA, Indiana vs. LATech, LSU, Miami, North Texas, etc). How many black coaches have coached at the championship winning caliber schools?

Did the schools have championships under their previous white coaches before the three black coaches won championships? What percentage of those schools' white coaches versus percentage of black coaches (100%) won championships?
