In my previous post, I crunched the numbers to see whether black NBA coaches are afforded the same opportunities as their white counterparts. I have to admit that I was surprised myself to see little to no difference in tenures and winning percentages. Why is it so easy to believe that there's a disparity, and do the numbers tell the whole story?
