The Black Coaches and Administrators (BCA) introduced the BCA Hiring Report Card (HRC) for NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Head Coaching Positions in 2008 to address the lack of people of color in head coaching positions. Since then, significant strides have been made, but the latest HRC released this week shows some stalling in forward momentum.
The HRC, which was authored by Dr. Richard Lapchick, examines the hiring process for vacant head coaching positions of women’s basketball teams at the 120 colleges and universities in the FBS. BCA executive director Floyd Keith said they limit the survey to FBS schools in order to maintain consistency with the organization’s measurements of football and men’s basketball.
