2643714, It takes white coaches YEARS to get on the "hotseat", a black coach...

can be on the hotseat after a few games.

And whenever a black coach's team is struggling its always his fault, "he doesn't know what he's doing, he's not connecting to the players, he can't coach offense."

When a white coach's team is struggling its "the players need to figure it out!" I almost forget that Billy Donovan is OKC's coach. When they struggle it was always "Russ, PG, & Carmelo need to figure out how to play together!" Isn't that the coach's job?!

Same thing with the Wizards, "Wall & Beal need to figure out how to play together!" ain't that Scott Brooks job?! Dude already underachieved in OKC when he 3 of the current top 5 players in the league on the same team and couldn't figure out how to make it work. After he ran that team in the ground and got fired he walked right into another head coaching job the NEXT season with an all-star backcourt and hasn't done shit with it. The players actually have figured out how to play better with Wall out obviously because Brooks has no clue.

These dudes like Joerger and Vogel get fired and have another head coaching job waiting on them the next season. They don't have to go back to being assistants and work their way back up, its ridiculous.

Ty Lue won a title a couple years ago against a 73-win squad and got zero credit and is constantly on the hotseat and being questioned when things go wrong. Rick Carlisle hasn't won a playoff series in 7 years and nobody is sweating him.
