Jemele Hill Has Bone To Pick With ‘White Coaches’ Being Branded As Geniuses & Not Black Head Coaches (TWEET)

Celtics coach Brad Stevens has been trending for weeks as he rejected rumors time and time again that he would leave Boston to return to college and become the coach of the Indiana Hoosiers.

Indiana was prepared to offer a 7-year, $70 million to Stevens to take over the Indiana program, Adrian Wojnarowski of ESPN reported Saturday.

Jemele Hill found a problem with that.

Hill responded to a tweet that called out why Indiana “was ready to pay Brad Stevens $70 million,” but “Mike Woodson took the job for $18 million.”

According to #Woj, Indiana was ready to pay Brad Stevens $70 million. Mike Woodson took the job for $18 million.

Why does Indiana believe that a coach that’s never won anything is worth $52 million more than one of their own?
