Well lester dipshit, if you read and understood my post, (not your strong suit), I didn't state ANYWHERE I don't understand the promotion of Tasmin, it's just sad that in today's political climate, (and EVERYTHING is political today), that we can't just have the best staff possible without worrying who is black and who is white. Nothing more or nothing less.

I don't think it's a "diversity" move in the political sense like you see at seemingly every university as much as it is a need to have a black coach on staff because 90%, if not more, of the kids you will be recruiting are black.

It's human nature to want to associate with other people who look like you and share cultural similarities. That's not racism. Just a fact of life. I suspect more kids could relate to a young black man such as Mitchell moreso than a middle-aged white guy. That's not to say you should have a staff that consist of all one race. But I completely understand why Wade would want a black coach on staff, even if he was objectively less qualified than another white coach on staff.

Wade and LSU aren't being PC. They're trying to best relate to the kids they are trying to get to play for them.
