So, took the day off. Watched a lot of b-ball. No teams starting 4 white guys. Team starting 4 white guys=NIT; starting more black guys=NCAA.

The problem isn't just color, it's that we are in a state that produces very little Black top 100 players. In the last 10 recruiting classes, the state has produced 2 top 100 Black Bball players from our state (Carton and Omaha). Foster just missing at 101. We also have no draw to want to come play in Iowa to Black players who live 100's of miles away from our state. It sucks, and we likely aren't going to every fix it.
And yest isu has managed a mostly black roster for the last 30 years.
 
Because in basketball success, there’s a STRONG correlation between race and NCAA success. 90 of the top 100 high school b-ball players every year are black. Pretty easy to find that correlation.
Is this the same principle for the NFL? How many black coaches are running NFL teams and why do they have to have some type of mandatory interview system? Stupid subject! Why does the prison system have more of one color than the other? Go away...
 
Not going to argue the run/jump advantage of blacks. But that alone isn't enough to explain the percentages in the sport. There would be a lot more elite white bball players if white guys funnelled into bball the way black guys do. The parents of white and asian kids generally emphasize academics and careers over sports, and those that do encourage youth sports are pushing them into all sorts of shit like swimming, wrestling, hockey, golf, tennis, soccer, baseball. Now your pool of skilled white or asian basketball players has thinned quite a bit.

How many sucessful black college fb head coaches have there been? I think you can count them on one hand. Interesting how my thought is racist while op's is not.

Yet accurate. Teams starting 4 whites and are excellent teams are outliers. Most of the time you won't see them in the Final Four, unless you have a giant in the middle like Eady.
