I agree with Westphal. I don't coach a predominantly black team, and Manhattan isn't exactly known for its high African American population, but I definitely think there is racism in the sport. We have to face it that Kansas isn't the most enlightened state in the US, and that that kind of stuff is going on.

By the same token I'm not saying that it's rampant by any means. I just know that when there are guys in the puff-puff-give circle from other teams (or even my own team), there is some racist stuff that goes on. I'm sure it's like that all over the country, but I think it definitely exists on a higher level than it should.
