I’m sorry comprehension escapes you, but I didn’t say that. What I said was that Sherrone Moore’s firing is being used (by some) as some sort of example that there is a wider problem among Black coaches or as an example of why it will be harder to justify hiring Black coaches. I find both to be a wider example of how the actions of one Black person is often used to paint all Black people with a bad brush. This doesn’t indict Black male coaches anymore than Lane Kiffin or Bobby Petrino’s actions indict white coaches. But the difference is that white coaches often get a chance to rehabilitate. Rick Pitino is seen as a redemption story. Black coaches usually don’t get that. I don’t care about Sherrone Moore. He earned whatever is coming, but unfortunately Black coaches will likely pay for what he’s done — and that isn’t right.
