This happens both ways - I called a T on a black coach because he said my partner, who was white, didn't give him a shooting foul because of racism. I was pissed and whacked that guy quick even though we were the only two people who heard it.

Knowing that it does happen to all races, what race officiates more games?

I'm going to go out on a limb and say you are either ignorant as hell or racist yourself.

It is an issue in coaching and officiating. But, I think there is a larger percentage of minority coaches than minority officials. I could probably name 95% of the black officials who are on TV often, but probably couldn't name 3% of the white officials on TV often.
