Sick post, Manteo.
D1 coach here. Recently advertised for a full time assistants position. Over 220 applicants, 43 women, all but 3 did not even meet the minimum requirements listed in the job description. Small sample and not a statement, just an observation

19% of the applicants were women.
Turned Left is complaining about 18% of head coaches are women. Math. Averages. Reality.

If true, then reveal how many of the men that applied met the minimum requirements.
I am not sure that the response was a complaint about the number of women in coaching so much as pointing out that the data shows women aren’t stealing all of the jobs from white men. There are still plenty of white men in coaching..

Still waiting for response...would like to know because I'm involved in searches myself.
One of the bigger issues I see is people getting jobs based on who they know and their professional running career and not their certification, education or experience doing the job.
Since when was it acceptable in any profession for that to be a thing. Imagine if you attempted to get a teaching job with your only experience being that you've been taught by a good teacher and got good grades.
Shouldn't those people start at the bottom of coaching and work up just like everyone else?

But it does happen, who you trained with (teachers/professors) do impress some people selecting the candidate. All those things factor in to a final decision on who to select for the position. Different individuals have a different emphasis on how they prioritize someone. Ultimately the telephone interview and then onsite interview make the final decision. A small group voting allow consensus; however, if only person makes the selection, then it can appear to be based solely on "who you know".

But, nobody said anything about 'stealing jobs from white men'... only you did.
Which brings to point, you're stuck in a world of distorted perception.

Truthfully, only a slightly higher percentage.
