Fewer Black coaches hired than would be expected with equal opportunity

A statistical model run by professor Alexis Piquero from the University of Miami show that fewer Black head coaches were hired since 2015 than would be expected given the pool of candidates. This disparity in expected vs. actual outcomes is statistically significant, meaning it can't be explained by random chance.

Data were compiled by the Herald on all candidates for head coaching positions filled each year since 2015. In this analysis, interviewees were counted once per annual hiring cycle.  For example, if a coach interviewed for head coaching jobs in two different years, he would be counted twice. If he interviewed for two jobs in the same year, he would counted only once.
