NBA's raising the bar

Sporting News, The, March 4, 2002 by George Smith

In regard to hiring practices for coaching positions (TSN, February 11), I believe the NBA is not looking at color but rather at whether the coach can do the job.

Right now the NBA has 13 African-American head coaches. The other leagues need to follow the NBA's lead.
