The Big East Is Now A "Majority-Minority" Conference?

Jordan, Butler
Shaka, MU
Anderson, St. Johns


If DePaul hires a minority coach, the Big East will be the first major conference that is "majority-minority" at the head coach level.

...and hope Gates is not hired by DePaul. He just might outshine Shaka with all the praises he was getting here on scoop. Then again a competitive Depaul/MU rivalry would be fantastic for the league.

If any conference is the be the first in this department, it SHOULD be the Big East, based on the urban settings of its member schools and the tradition of several them in recruiting black players while state schools would not.

I have also seen several reports that DePaul is looking at Kenny Payne from the Knicks.

I just looked him up. This is from the first paragraph of his wiki:

"He was selected by the Philadelphia 76ers with the 19th pick of the 1989 NBA draft where he was booed by a gathering of fans."

Based on Lovell's statement, it seems that hiring a Black coach was a high priority.  So, if Smart didn't work out, my guess is that Gates was next in line.  All in all, it couldn't have worked out any better.

Who the heck cares?

If an African American coach gets us back to the promised land -- we'll all follow!

Happily!!!!!

Ditto for any other coach who can do it the Marquette way.

Smart positively checked 47 coaching checklist boxes before getting to diversity.   

This is the way it should be.

Eventually you have to put your money where your mouth is, and we are seeing that in the BEAST.  Want to go to a urbam school, play for a school/conference that truly values diversity, compete at an elite level, and not be viewed as an after-thought to football...come play in the BEAST.

Do you know how to use an online dictionary?

Then all Big East schools are not diverse.

Would you call any Big East basketball program that identified itself as White or Black diverse? How many white players can you name without looking them up that played for Gtown over the last 30 years that played in the NBA?
