In the ACC, nine of 15 men’s basketball teams are led by Black coaches — the most of any power conference in the country. Now the tricky part: making it stick. 'The last couple of years people really started to see the BS.' ✍️ DanaONeilWriter
But the inherent message the hiring sends is important — not just to other former players, but the people in uniform right now. “You’re good enough,’’ Hewitt says. “We’re not just going to use you as a basketball player. We think you can do this job.’’“In retrospect, it may have been an impossible situation for Bob.’’ That’s how former Maryland chancellor John Slaughter described the “opportunity” given to Bob Wade in 1986.
Many of the ACC’s new Black coaches are in similar spots. Payne took over a Louisville team in near shambles, done in by years of NCAA investigations. Notre Dame has one winning ACC season in the last six years and Micah Shrewsberry takes over a team that went 3-17 in league play this past year. Syracuse has some NCAA appearances on its resume, but the Orange is not the same strong program it was certainly in Autry’s playing days. Stoudamire is in much the same situation at Georgia Tech.
