So Alabama hired Anthony Grant as the new men’s basketball coach. Everybody seems to be over the moon that they sailed in and got him before Georgia or Virginia could. Apparently he’s one of the names to mention in hot up-and-coming coaches in college basketball.
It was three days into the reporting before I realized that Anthony Grant is most assuredly not white.
The Crimson Tide hired a black coach for arguably their second-highest-profile sport (Sarah Patterson’s gymnastics team and their multiple national championships might have something to say) and nobody thinks to mention it in the reporting?
This is how you make progress…one piece at a time.
