Because I think a somewhat unknown (and to cut off SFP, I don't mean totally obscure) black assistant will not be viewed in the same way as a white guy in the same position who has worked for well know other white head coaches who are known by the GM or owner. I'm not saying it's overt racism. I'm saying it's an endemic, institutional matter of familiarity and comfort that perhaps just needs a little bit of shaking up.
But, you act like this is so obviously occurring. Where, if so?

I think it's self-evident. I'm not saying there should be a quota or that if certain percentages aren't met, that's indicative of racism . .. necessarily. I am saying objective observation would lead one to conclude that a black coach has to be pretty special to get a leg up in the business. And moreso than a white guy similarly situated. We probably don't disagree as much as you think, frankly. But I do think it's naive to suggest that race doesn't play a role in hiring.
