Take it to the following weekend and there were 3 African-Americans and there was a big question if those 3 were qualified out of the 12. And multiple teams did not have a single white person on either team. Three teams were from Chicago. Two teams were from the southern part of the state and you could not get more than 3 African-Americans?
My point is we overanalyze the 3 and not the 9 that likely never see these kinds of teams or that type of ball on a regular basis, but the 3 were not qualified and we have to check the system?

I don't care if one school has X number of a certain ethnic group therefor the officials have to mirror that ratio. I also don't care who is getting the game. I care when "equality " is tired around to advance an agenda that when achieved forgets their primary tenet. I also don't think its right that for passed missed opportunities we need to over compensate to make up.
I'd rather hear , "so and so got this assignment because she's a female (or he is black)" whatever. I am perfectly fine with that level of honesty. And I wish that we the car. I don't care about hypothetical scenarios and what has happened in the past. I just want
Perception and reality to intersect once in a while.
For the record I think most of you have valid arguments to a degree.
