Since 1939, when college basketball began crowning its champion, only three other title teams were lead by an African-American Head Coach John Thompson at Georgetown in 1984, Nolan Richardson at Arkansas in 1994 and Tubby Smith at Kentucky in 1998.

Back when Thompson, Richardson and other African-American coaching legends like George Raveling and John Chaney were working the major college basketball sidelines in the 80s, and especially after Big John became the first to break through that championship barrier at the games highest level, it was easy to envision a future where alumni, boosters, athletic directors and school presidents would readily accept and embrace more diverse and inclusive hiring practices.

But despite the relative success of the few who have been given an opportunity, we seem to be moving backwards towards a more homogenous time where the best opportunities, the so called destination jobs, are once again the overwhelmingly sole province of white men.

Why do we keep stepping backwards, when its been proven, time and again, that there is no shortage of talented black coaches out there?

Does no one seem to remember Paul Hewitt taking Georgia Tech to the 2004 title game? How about Shaka Smart taking VCU to the Final Four in 2011, or John Thompson III getting Georgetown there in 2007? What about Mike Davis taking 5th-seeded Indiana to the championship game in 2002?

Thompson III and Kevin Ollie are anomalies in todays game because they are the only men of color leading powerful programs that have a championship legacy.

The numbers are down, Shaka Smart told Yahoo Sports Pat Forde during last years Final Four. I do not think thats because theres less talented black coachesWho is getting the jobs, period? Whos getting opportunities? There are a great deal of very, very talented and prepared African-American candidates out there who should and could be very successful head coaches if given the opportunity.

If youre going to talk about the national championship level, typically the teams that win the national championship Louisville, Kentucky, Duke, North Carolina, Kansas, UCLA the coaches at those schools are not black, Smart told Forde.

The issue is often met in the mainstream with defensiveness and dismissiveness, because, lets face it, race is something that most of the key decision-makers in sports dont want to discuss.

In the same way that the Black College Quarterback was once stereotyped as an athlete who could only run the option, who was not smart enough to pilot a pro-style passing attack, todays gifted assistant coaches are simply seen as great recruiters who are unable to captain an elite program.

And the old-boy network is not only alive and well, its thriving. Ollie was the beneficiary of it, having apprenticed under Hall of Famer Jim Calhoun at UCONN. Calhoun fought for Ollie to get the job upon his retirement and had he not loudly advocated for him, its doubtful that he would have been given such a great opportunity.

In the old-boy apparatus, decision makers often make choices based on their own backgrounds and what makes them comfortable. And therein lies the barrier of a pronounced cultural partition.

Its not rocket science: people surround themselves with people who they deem to be like themselves, folks they regularly network with, folks who have similar backgrounds and compatible belief systems. This inherently shrinks the hiring pool.

The lack of black head coaches is problematic, but people tend to ignore the interwoven correlation, which is the monochromatic nature of leadership in Division I athletic departments. When over 90% of the key decision-makers look a certain way, youll see that ultimately reflected on the sideline.

The major power basketball conferences should take some time to review the search and hiring processes of the Ivy League, who have a surprising 50% of their hoops programs led by African-American coaches.

Hiring practices will always fluctuate, but the larger issue, in a sport where the cash registers ring due to the exploits of black athletes, is that this issue of under-representation, on the sidelines and in the athletic administration offices must be addressed.

Scanning the current college hoops rankings, there is not one team in the top 15 that has a black head coach. Mike Anderson coaches 18th-ranked Arkansas, Smart leads 22nd-ranked V.C.U. and Ed Cooley is at the helm of 25th-ranked Providence.

The overall percentage of African-American coaches is at its lowest levels in 20 years. Its a glaring omission. The continued stagnation stings even more, given the very false sense of equality that many thought had been achieved once Tubby Smith and Nolan Richardson seemed to climb the proverbial mountain of sports racial inequality, when they won their titles at Kentucky and Arkansas in the 90s.

How long will it take for another black coach to join this elite fraternity?

It took Kevin Ollie 16 years to join the club. And until the coaching and administration demographics begin to match the racial dynamics of what takes place on the actual basketball court, it might take longer than that for the next one to come along.

its beginning

Mike Krzyzewski with Bobby Knight.

He began his career as a player at College (University) at West Point Military Academy in New York State while training to become an officer in the US Army. Between 1969 and 1974, Krzyzewski therefore performed her military work and managed the services of sports teams for three years, and then became a coach at Prep School located in Belvoir (Virginia) for two years.

In 1974 he retired from the US Army and was promoted to captain. Bobby Knight, whom he had as a coach, then offered him an assistant position at Indiana University. He turns down an offer to focus on developing his program in order to take charge of Duke's team.

With the Blue Devils

In 1981, he was hired by Duke University to coach the men's basketball team. Despite a rocky start, Coach K's program at the helm of the Blue Devils will be at an unprecedented level since John Wooden's glory days at the UCLA Bruins. Duke lost the NCAA championship final in 1986 and then reached the final four of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) tournament five times in a row starting in 1988. This presence was rewarded with two league titles in 1991 and 1992.

Krzyzewski also led Duke to the NCAA Final Four in 1994, 1999, 2001, 2004 and 2010, culminating in new titles in 2001 and 2010.

Coach Krzyzewski with the ACC Champions Trophy

During his years at Duke, Krzyzewski led the Blue Devils to twelve ACC regular season titles ( Atlantic Coast Conference ) and twelve ACC Finals. In addition, five of these ACC titles have been awarded consecutively in 1999 and 2003. Krzyzewski was named Coach of the Year 12 times, and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 2001.

In March 2008 Coach K becomes the sixth NCAA coach after Bobby Knight, Dean Smith, Adolph Rupp, Jim Phelan and Eddie Sutton to cross the 800 win mark. At the end of the 2010 season, he had 868 wins, including 795 with the Blue Devils. After eleven Final Four appearances, he has a second coach behind John Wooden who is now only one edition ahead of him. He also leads him in terms of victory with ten titles, with Krzyzewski and Kentucky coach Adolph Rupp totaling four wins. He is also runner-up in the Final Four, won in twelve games out of 19.played out, with Wooden having a total of 21 wins.

With 77 career NCAA Finals wins out of 99 games or a 77.8% percentage, Krzyzewski has the best record in the NCAA ahead of UNC coach Dean Smith.

During his long career at Duke, Krzyzewski was courted three times by NBA teams. The first was after 1990 - 1991 when he took the Blue Devils for their third Final Four in a row. The Boston Celtics offered him a coaching job, which Krzyzewski quickly turned down. A wise decision no doubt, as he led the Duke to the first of his two consecutive titles the following year. At 19The Portland Trail Blazers showed interest in '94, but again Coach K didn't. Finally, in 2004, Krzyzewski was approached by the Los Angeles Lakers following the departure of Phil Jackson. Some think these rumors only exist to renew the contract he's renewing with Duke, but still, he won't be joining the California franchise that offered him $40 million over five years.

His influence on Duke was such that Cameron Stadium, home of the Blue Devils, was renamed Coach K Court is in his honor, and the lawn in front of Cameron Stadium is called Krzyzewskiville or K-Ville.

At on November 15, 2011 , he became the most successful men's basketball coach in NCAA history, surpassing Bobby Knight's record of 903 wins. At January 25, 2015 , he becomes the first coach to break the 1,000 NCAA D1 win mark by defeating St. John's University at Madison Square Garden.

In April 2015 , he reached the Final Four for the twelfth time, breaking John Wooden's record. Duke to beat Wisconsin in Final April 6 for 5th ^th NCAA title Krzyzewski.

Salary

In 2006, Krzyzewski signed a lifetime contract with Duke University for $800,000 a year. If you add to this various compensations and other facts, you can calculate that he receives about $ 1.5 million a year from the university.

USA Basketball

Krzyzewski has a long history with American selection. In 1979, he took the assistant position at the Pan American Games, where the Americans won the gold medal. At 19'84 he was an assistant in preparation for the Los Angeles Games, a competition during which he served as special assistant to Bobby Knight. In 1987, he coached the American team that won the varsity games. Three years later, he won the bronze medal at the 1990 World Championships after two losses against eventual world champion Yugoslavia and Puerto Rico.

In the summer of 1992, Krzyzewski was one of three assistants to Chuck Daly, Dream Team coach. Due to the presence of Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, who retired from their careers last year due to their HIV status, this selection, in which ten of the twelve players are among the best players of the NBA's fiftieth anniversary, without, perhaps, the most beautiful national basketball team at the Olympics. This position allows him to select player Christian Lettner, who has just graduated from Duke, as a collegiate Dream Team player. The American selection easily wins the tournament, Chuck Daly considers it a matter of honor not to take a time-out during the entire tournament.

In October 2005 Krzyzewski was appointed coach of the US basketball team. Its mission is to restore the American jersey after the failures at the 2002 World Championships, also held on American soil, and at the 2004 Athens Olympics. This mission should culminate in winning the Olympic title at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

The first competition of this selection under the leadership of Krzyzewski ended in third place after the defeat of Greece in the semi-finals with a score of 101-95 . Then, the following year, the American team went undefeated at the 2007 Americas tournament, giving them a spot in the Beijing games.

In these, the United States won six first-round matches, including victories over Greece and Spain. They then eliminated Australia, then reigning Olympic champion Argentina, before returning to Spain in the final. In this match, unlike the group match, the Spaniards remain close to the score, from 104 to 99 in favor of the USA with 3 minutes 32 left. The Americans end up winning 118:107.

Mike Krzyszewski next to the referee during the 2010 World Cup

At July 2009 , he announces with Jerry Colangelo, US preselection boss, that his position will be extended until the end of the London 2012 Olympics. At the 2010 World Championships, Krzyzewski was stripped of all the players who won the Olympic title in Beijing for various reasons. He is building a young team of six players aged 22 and under, with only one key player, Tyson Chandler, on the roster. With just three All Stars, Chauncey Billups, Derrick Rose and Kevin Durant, the team relies heavily on the latter, the only player to feature in one of the season's three fives. The United States, only bothered by Brazil in the first round - a 70-68 win - then easily won a round of 16 against Angola. Then in the next three meetings, Durant's playing time increased by 37, 38 and 39minutes respectively against Russia, Lithuania and Turkey. Krzyzewski demands a lot of defensive effort from his players, resulting in a win rate of 39% for Lithuania and 36% for Turkey. This makes it possible to play a counterattack, in which the sporting qualities of the players matter. The Americans won the final against host country Turkey 81-64, including 28 points from Durant, who finished with the competition's MVP title.

After announcing before the London Games that this would be his last competition as head of the American team, USA Basketball finally announced at May 2013 he will coach again until the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.

Arbitration disputes

Just as many have accused the North Carolina Tar Heels' coach of the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill, Dean Smith, of benefiting from favoritism and arbitration by the NCAA basketball authorities, Krzyszewski has been in the spotlight lately.

Since Dean Smith retired in 1997, Duke has pretty much dominated the ACC. Then some agree to say that this dominance should be compared with the points kindly received (especially at the end of the match) by the referees in favor of the Blue Devils. AT February 2006 Three umpires from the ACC conference were suspended for one game after the league decided they whistled an unjustified technical foul against a Seminole player's Florida State University in a very close game that saw Duke win.

Allegations of conspiracy by the judges in Duke's favor were then widely exposed by television networks, including ESPN's SportsCenter show. SportsCenter thus underlined the difference between the number of free throws given to Duke and their opponent, showing that Duke is the ACC conference leader in this category. Controversy exists in the other direction as well, with ESPN being criticized for glossing over the fact that Wake Forest held the spot the previous season, just like UConn also received a lot of bounty at that level.

So all these conspiracy allegations have arguments that can be directed against the accusers, and the controversy seems to be limited to the anti-Duke movement that extends to the Atlantic coast.

His Coaching Science

No doubt, thanks to Krzyzewski's talent, many of his assistants now become coaches in the NCAA, among them:

• Tommy Amaker, Harvard;
• Mike Bray, Notre Dame;
• Neil Dougherty, TCU;
• Jeff Capel III, Oklahoma.

In addition, 10 of Krzyzewski's assistants or former players are now assistants in the NCAA (Division 1).

David Shield Mesh Ring

| Number: 10/310 October 2018

Omri Casspi

The Jewish Observer continues to talk about the Jewish contribution to world basketball. In the first publication (08/308 August 2018), we talked, in particular, about the Jewish presence in American basketball of the pre-NBA era (1946) and Jewish basketball top functionaries. A story about outstanding Jewish coaches and players was also announced there. We will talk about them - but only about some, because there are a lot of them.

Stars of the annals of half a century
B 199On the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the NBA, a commission of 50 specialists compiled a list of the top 10 best coaches in the history of the association. The first place in the list was occupied by the Jew Red Auerbach.let.

To this day, Arnold Jakob "Red" Auerbach remains a legend and is considered one of the NBA's greatest coaches. And at the time of compiling the list, he was the league's absolute record holder for a number of important indicators. For many years, Auerbach coached the Boston Celtics, and he has nine Boston championship titles to his credit (with eight of them in a row - from 1959 to 1966) and 938 victories. In addition, in the status of the general manager of the club, he won seven more NBA championships and was recognized as the best manager of the year five times. In total, he spent 29
with the Boston Celtics In addition to his coaching talent, Auerbach's position on racial issues was a component of his success. The Jew Auerbach, nicknamed Red for his red hair, boldly went to the destruction of discriminatory barriers. In 1950, he was the first black player in the NBA to invite a black player - it was Chuck Cooper. Today, the league is played entirely by African Americans, and then such a step became a revolution and a sensation. At 19In 1964, Auerbach fielded the first all-black starting five on the court. One of them was the great center Bill Russell - the main discovery of Auerbach, whom he brought to the team in 1956. And ten years later, Boston President Red Auerbach made Russell the first black coach in the NBA. A George Washington University graduate with an M.A. in Economics, Auerbach produced a string of brilliant players, four of whom, including Russell, went on to become successful coaches who went on to win NBA championship rings multiple times.

Dolph Schayes

In that 1996 list of the top ten coaches in the NBA, another Jew is William Holtzman, who twice led the New York Knicks to the championship title (1970, 1973). In addition, at one time Holtzman led the Eastern All-Star team in the NBA All-Star Game. It is curious that William Holtzman also had the nickname Red - like Auerbach, he was a red-haired Jew.
In the same anniversary year for the NBA, the same commission compiled a list of the 50 best players in 50 years. It turned out to be the only Jew - the center of the club "Philadelphia-76" Dolph Schayes. At that time, he owned five NBA records at once: a performance indicator (19240 points), most non-missing appearances (764 games), most game minutes (29,800), field goals scored (6,135) and free throws made (6,979). By the way, earlier in 1971, Shiyes was included in the symbolic NBA team for the 25th anniversary of the league. And, of course, Red Auerbach was elected as the coach of that squad.
Dolph Schayes was one of the top 10 Jewish players of all time last year. And along with him in this honorary list was his son Danny. The boy outgrew his dad: Shayes Sr. was 201 cm tall, and his son was 211 cm tall. Danny played 18 seasons in different NBA clubs. At 19In 77, he became a key figure in the US team at the Maccabiah, and the senior Shayes was the coach of that team - such a pleasant nepotism. Four years later, Danny Shayes became the champion of the Maccabiah again. But unlike his father, he failed to become an NBA champion.
Among the great coaches, it is necessary to mention Larry Brown - the only specialist who managed to win the NCAA (Student League, 1988, Kansas Jayhawks) and NBA (2004, Detroit Pistons) championships. Also, Larry Brown was noted for being the only coach who led eight different clubs to the playoffs of the NBA championship. At 19At 61, Brown the player was the leader of the US team that won the Maccabiah.
It is impossible not to mention Harry Litvak, who in the 30s was the star of the South Philadelphia Jewish Association club, and as a coach successfully worked with the NCAA Temple Owls club. Litvak is considered the founder of the zone defense system, which at one time seriously changed both the training process and game tactics.

David Blatt

NBA Game Minyan
Speaking of Jewish players, we clearly distinguish between the eras of early basketball and the era of the NBA. And the point is not so much in various structures, but in the racial factor - Jews en masse went to basketball and dominated this game in those days when black athletes were not allowed on the court. At 19Basketball was different in the 1920s and 30s, more individual and less tall. The Jewish stars of those times - Barney Sidran, Max Friedman, Nat Holman or Morris Span - did not exceed 180 cm in height. Then it was rare for anyone to reach the format that we jokingly call "one and a half kike" - like Dolph Schayes, for example.
We have already mentioned last year's list of the best Jewish basketball players compiled by the Ranker portal, which included Shayesa's father and son. This list is headed by the famous Amare Stoudmayer. But let's be honest: this worthy African American, with all his love for Israel and interest in Judaism, never found Jewish roots in himself and only in April of this year began to prepare for conversion. True, Amare played two seasons in Jerusalem's Apoel, he is a great sympathizer and advocate for the Jewish people, but we will still take him out of our NBA minyan.
In addition to Dolph and Danny Shayes, the top 10 includes several other legendary figures.
Among them is Max Zaslofsky, shooting guard who played for five NBA clubs. He was elected to the league's All-Star Five four times, first reaching it at age 21 and was the youngest member of the All-Stars until LeBron James blocked his achievement. At the time of his retirement, Zaslofsky was third in the NBA in career total scoring.
There's also Rudy Larusso, center of the Los Angeles Lakers and San Francisco Warriors, who was named to the All-Stars five times. He holds the record for scoring in one match among Jewish basketball players - 50 points (1962, Los Angeles Lakers - St. Louis Hawks).
The list also includes two characters already familiar to us - Red Holtzman and Larry Brown. These outstanding coaches were excellent players in their youth. Holtzman with a height of 178 cm became the champion of the NBA as part of the Rochester Royals (1951). But Brown, with his 175 cm height, who was 20 years younger than Holtzman, was no longer taken to the NBA - he shone as an attacking guard in the clubs of the ABA (a professional league that existed in parallel with the NBA). In addition to the 1961 Maccabiah, Brown won the Tokyo 19 Olympic tournament with the US team.64.

Alexander Gomelsky

In 1976 at the Olympic Games in Montreal, light forward Ernie Grunfeld, a Romanian Jew who came to America at the age of nine, became the champion in the US team. Grunfeld has played successfully in the NBA for the Milwaukee Bucks, Kansas City Kings and New York Knicks, and has been the general manager of the Washington Wizards for 15 years.
Also on the list is shooting guard Jordan Farmar, who played for five NBA clubs and became a two-time league champion with the Los Angeles Lakers.
Omri Casspi, the only Israeli to play in the NBA, also made the top 10. In 2009, the Maccabi Tel Aviv forward was drafted 23rd overall by the Sacramento Kings. Since then, Casspi has played for seven NBA clubs, and today he plays for the Memphis Grizzlies.
In addition to Omri Casspi, four other Israeli players were drafted by the NBA, but never signed with the clubs of the strongest league in the world. This is shooting guard Oded Katash (1996, was not selected), point guard Doron Schaefer (1996, Los Angeles Clippers), shooting guard Yotam Halperin (2006, Seattle SuperSonics), and power forward Lior Eliyahu (2006, Orlando Magic). The very fact of getting into the NBA draft is a world-class indicator.
And before we leave America, let's remember another iconic NBA figure - Mandy Rudolph, the first referee who has played over two thousand league games and officiated eight NBA All-Star Games.

This side of the Atlantic
World basketball is not famous for America alone.
We will not talk about Israeli basketball stars due to lack of space, but such names as Tal Brody, Miki Berkovich, Tanhum Cohen-Mintz are inscribed in golden letters in the history of world basketball.
But it is impossible not to name two great Israeli coaches. We talked about Ralph Klein, with whom Maccabi Tel Aviv won the European Cup in 1977, and the Israeli team took silver at the European Championship in 1979, we talked about in the first part of the material. Today we will talk about Pini Gershon and David Blatt.
Pini Gershon has been coaching since the age of 23. He led Maccabi Tel Aviv three times to win the Euroleague (2001, 2004, 2005) and won the Israeli championship eight times - seven times with Maccabi TA and once with the Hapoel club (Gilboa-Upper Galilee). In 2005, he was recognized as the "coach of the year" in Europe.

Red Auerbach

Gershon's assistant at Hapoel was Boston-born David Blatt, 1981 Maccabiah champion with the US team. This dual-citizen specialist has achieved amazing success on both sides of the ocean - both in club basketball and at the level of national teams. Blatt has, in particular, the victory of Maccabi TA in the Euroleague (2014), five league titles in Israel with Maccabi TA, the title of Italian champion with the Benetton club (2006), victory in the Eurocup with the Greek Olympiacos ( 2018). Blatt is the first and only Israeli coach to lead an NBA club: in 2014, after being named European Coach of the Year, he took over the Cleveland Cavaliers and led them to the NBA Finals. Blatt is prayed for in Russia - in 2007 he led the national team of this country to the gold of the European Championship, in 2011 he took bronze. In 2012, the Russian team led by an Israeli coach took Olympic bronze in London. Therefore, the attitude towards David Blatt in Russia completely fit into the formula “I respect you so much that I don’t even consider you a Jew.”
Legendary Soviet coaches, the Gomelsky brothers, were awarded no less high-profile merits. Alexander Gomelsky won the 1988 Olympics with the USSR national team, two world championships, seven European championships. With the club CSKA Gomelsky became the champion of the USSR 16 times and won the European Champions Cup (1971), with the Riga SKA he won three European Champions Cups and three times became the champion of the USSR. Alexander Gomelsky became the first foreign coach to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1994 (Springfield, Massachusetts, USA). It is noteworthy that Gomelsky was not allowed to the Olympics-1972 in Munich, where the USSR national team sensationally became the champion. The KGB took away his passport, fearing that the coach might defect to the Israeli delegation.
His younger brother Evgeny Gomelsky became famous as an outstanding coach in women's basketball.
