When your two black stars want him, I can’t see how it is.
If they weren’t consulted, I can see white owner + white GM hiring an inexperienced white coach out of left field being considered “white privilege.” But by all accounts, that clearly was not the case.
With some of these instances, I wish people could step back and look at an entire situation and think maybe race is just a coincidence, and not THE reason.
Maybe they think Nash, one of the best PG’s ever, will be a good coach? Maybe guys like Marc Jackson and Ty Lue weren’t picked not because they are black, but because they have been proven to be pretty bad coaches.
I applaud Chuck for calling SAS out for his meritless racial hot-take at a time like this.
