Live From LA, 2018 NCAA Tournament, Same Great Tournament, Same Big Problems
from Bill Rhoden On Sports (BROSpod) · host Bill Rhoden On Sports (BROSpod)
Bill and Jamal return from their March Madness hiatus and are live from Staples Center in Los Angeles. The two discuss the always exciting NCAA Tournament, which has not disappointed thus far, but also take a look at the always prevalent dark side of college athletics. They discuss the lack of a significant number of black college basketball coaches and Florida State's Leonard Hamilton being the lone black head coach left in the Tournament (4:50), the ever present black labor/white wealth theme in college athletics (8:00), and what black assistant coaches need to do to climb the ladder (10:50). Finally, Michigan Athletic Director Warde Manuel joins the show (25:22) and addresses the "slave" analogy in reference to college athletes, player compensation and more.
