The report highlighted racial-hiring gains with general managers and assistant coaches to all-time high levels. “In the broadest possible sweep, the NBA is the model men’s league in terms of racial- and gender-hiring practices, as well as I think social-justice initiatives,” Lapchick said in an interview with The Associated Press. Institute director and lead report author Richard Lapchick noted that decrease was due largely to a change in methodology that includes team ownership for the first time, which he expects will lead to drops for every league. The overall and racial-hiring grades were down slightly from last season (A-minus and A-plus respectively), while numerical scores in all three major categories fell slightly. The report annually examines positions for franchises as well as in league leadership, with this edition using data from early in the 2020-21 season. Wednesday’s report card from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at Central Florida assigned an overall B-plus grade, with an A for racial hiring and a B for gender hiring. A diversity report found the NBA continues to lead men’s professional sports in racial and gender hiring practices, fueled by more general managers and assistant coaches of color in the league.
