My point was that they don't have rules about drafting minority players and look how they have done as players. Very well. I just feel they put this rule in place to be politicaly correct but in the end the teams still hire who they want. I really don't have a problem with the rule I just don't think it makes a difference when teams are hiring a coach.

Maybe because 90% of the players are black to begin with? Comparing players to coaches just doesn't make much sense.

I tend to agree but an argument that I have heard is that since so many of the players are minorities then the coaching ranks should logically follow and haven't. So there must be some kind of institutional racism. So we can either compare players and coaches in this regard or not but we can't do it on one hand and not on the other.
