La Salle University is currently seeking qualified applicants Head Coach of it’s Men’s Men’s Basketball program. I have been very vocal about the need for La Salle to identify and seriously consider highly respected BLACK coaches.
Jackie Moore (far right) first Black player at La Salle 67 years ago
In response, some white local observers have expressed their belief that I have gone too far…
To those guys, I respectfully ask… Is this too far? If you DO NOT have a problem with this list AND you have a problem with the Black Cager publishing this list…
YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!
Have a nice day…

The Black Cager 
How many Black coaches have we had in the Big 5
Period don’t just single out LaSalle as if they’re the only ones. After Cheyney who else had a head job in the Big 5 Bruiser Flint was at Drexel for a long time
But I don’t recall anyone else having a head job in the city.
