FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. (AP) — The number of nonwhite coaches hired in women's college basketball has declined in the latest assessment from the Black Coaches and Administrators group.
The fourth BCA report found that five nonwhite
coaches were hired out of 18 openings from 2009-11. That's down from the record
nine who were hired out of 16 openings in 2007-08.
Eleven of the 18 schools identified in Friday's
report received A's for their hiring processes. Six didn't hire nonwhite
candidates, but got credit for their diverse candidate pools and search
committees.
The BCA has also graded college football since
2004.
