I know that, and agree completely. That's why I posed my "argument" in terms of GMs and executives. If it were only about money, then heck, the players have all the money they could need. The question is "Does the NBA give African Americans the opportunity at its highest positions?" and according to the numbers Tony provided, it certainly looks like they do.

I could even go on and on about Romeo Crennel and how he won multiple Super Bowls as a Defensive coordinator, to be considered completely secondary to Bellicik.

Organizationally, he was secondary to Belichick, of course. But I understand that's not what you mean. I can only assure you that here in New England, Crennel's value is never understated. When talking about the coaching in New England, the local writers never just talk about Belichick; it's always Belichick, Crennel and Weis.
