I think the dearth of minority coaches in a league with such a high percet6age of minority players is striking. It has probably less to do with actual racism rather much less treacherous reasons like simply being a culture thing. I am not usually a big fan of sledge hammer ideas like a Rooney rule but in this case the league decided to so it and I think it will help change the culture issue sooner so it is a good idea...As long as there is the understanding that at some point you get rid of the rule.

Title IX falls into the same boat for me. It has done its job admirably and very much helped raise the equality of sports in in college but it is causing problems unfairly now and should be thrown out. It has successfully changed the culture so it is time to kill it. But they haven't.
