Stephen A. Smith says ANALYTICS leading to a paucity of African-Americans in NBA head coaching jobs

The anti-analytics rhetoric is hilarious. Sounds like something outta the George W Bush manual.

This latest implication of analytics with regards to black coaches is especially embarrassing, though.

truth be told, being an ex-player alone shouldn't be some sort of prerequisite but somehow that is so.

i cant think of a black coach that hasnt played....

The Spurs were winning before analytics and you will see next year once Tim Duncan retires how good those analytics work

The Spurs use analytics, jackass.

Like I said, the Spurs success is due to their talent. Next year, when Duncan is gone let me know how well those analytics work out. 3 hall of famers and a hall of fame coach and geeks wanna give credit to a computer.

Mike Brown didn't play pro ball either I don't think

Spurs use analytics, but its just one background piece to their success...... They've been wildly successful because they're a great organization with a Great GM, a HOF brilliant coach.... and one of the greatest POST players of all times........

Those 3 things>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> analytics

Analytics is so great, the Sixers have won 30 games in 2 years.

The Grizzlies traded Rudy Gay for Tayshaun Prince because of analytics. The very next year they traded Tayshaun for Jeff Green, a poor man's Rudy Gay. I bet you they wish they had Rudy now.

they're mutually exclusive. Great players do well in terms of advanced stats. Find one that doesn't.

Probably a safe bet to say so

Advanced stats have people going back and questioning how good Allen Iverson was. I don't think its that cut and dry.

Do Jeff Green and Rudy Gary have the same contract?

Man leave Mike alone
