Universities lack
minority coaches
■ Minorities make up only
10.6 percent of the number
of coaches at colleges around
the country
By Hank Hager
Oregon Daily Emerald
Nearly six weeks after Jody
Runge’s resignation, the Universi
ty has hired her replacement for
the position of women’s basketball
coach. Former Oregon star Bev
Smith was one of the five official
candidates interviewed for the job,
and all were white.
The University’s hiring process
in this specific situation is a typi
cal scenario at college athletic de
partments across the nation.
At the end of the 2000-01 inter
collegiate football season, 29 head
coaching positions became avail
able. Only one of those positions
was filled by a minority. Fitz Hill
was the only African-American
coach to be hired, and he now
works for San Jose State Universi
ty as its football coach.
Entering the 2001-2002 academ
ic school year, 10.6 percent of
coaches at universities across the
nation will be minorities, accord
ing to statistics kept by the NCAA.
At the University, softball coach
Rick Gamez and men’s basketball
coach Ernie Kent are the only non
white coaches out of the 13 posi
tions available.
Dave Williford, assistant athletic
director of media services at the
University, said there is not a lack
of minority coaches on campus.
“Whether it be Mike Bellotti or
Ernie Kent, I feel we’ve done very
well on this,” he said.
Williford said the Athletic De
partment does not take into ac
count the color of a coach’s skin
when hiring, and he said that
should never be an issue.
“I think you hire the best coach
possible,” he said.
In the Pacmc-10 Conference,
men’s basketball has the highest
percentage of minority coaches.
Kent is one of five minorities who
fill half of the head coaching posi
tions in the conference. No minori
ties fill head coaching positions for
women’s basketball in the Pac-10.
Stanford coach Tyrone Willingham
is the only minority coaching foot
ball in the conference.Players are
apparently paying attention to the
Pac-lO’s situation, as well. Kellen
Winslow Jr., son of Hall of Fame
football player Kellen Winslow,
announced on Feb. 15 he would
attend the University of Miami in
stead of the University of Washing
ton, even though he had originally
given an oral commitment to the
Northwest school. His father asked
him to consider another university
because of Washington’s lack of
minority coaches.
University of Washington offi
cials declined to comment on the
younger Winslow’s decision.
Although many say strides have
been made to ensure a more di
verse group of coaches, they add
that more can be done.
Floyd Keith, executive director
of the Black Coaches Association,
Head coaches
at universities,
1999-2000
Men
7,580 total positions
810 minorities hold head coaching
positions [10.7 percent]
Women
7,918 total positions
839 minorities hold head coaching
positions [10.5 percent]
Source: NCAA, Divisions I, II, III
said a lack of minority coaches at
the nation’s universities needs to
be addressed.
“When you look at the percent
age of participation, there is not a
representative number of coach
es,” he said. “The inequalities are
there, and it is just a public aware
ness of what they are.”
He said it is important for athlet
ic departments to hire coaches
they like, but they need to review
all possible applications for avail
able positions.Schools also need to
look at other factors when making
hires for their head coaching posi
tions, Keith said.
“It also has to be something that
is good business,” he said, adding
that salary is usually an influenc
ing factor when hiring.
Keith added that coaching staffs
are not the only areas where mi
norities are underrepresented.
“The numbers, when it comes to
administration, are even worse
than in the coaching ranks,” he
said.
The NCAA tracks 23 sports and
the coaching backgrounds of the
schools in Divisions I, II and III.
For men’s teams, 7,580 positions
are available, and 10.7 percent of
the positions are filled by minority
coaches. In women’s sports, mi
norities make up an even smaller
percentage.
Although approximately 300
more jobs exist in the women’s
field, the percentage of minority
coaches falls to 10.5. Combined,
1,649 minorities fill the 15,498
available coaching positions. Over
all, minorities hold only 10.6 per
cent of the head coaching posi
tions in NCAA-sanctioned sports.
Richard Lapchick, director of
Northeastern University’s Center
for the Study of Sport in Society,
said schools need to exhaust all
possibilities when interviewing for
their head coaching positions.
“I think there are significant
numbers out there, but how we go
about looking for them is critical,”
he said.
Lapchick, who heads a biannual
gender and racial report card,
which grades each professional
sport and the NCAA, said he is dis
satisfied by the lack of minority
coaches at universities across the
nation.
“I think the most disheartening
thing is we have not come as far as
we would have expected 20 years
ago,” he said.
