Betallsports if that's what you want to turn the question into that's fine! Obviously you think it's a Black and White issue or you would not have mentioned it! I am not afraid to say it ,my feeling is there is no doubt that had the Cavs coach been White he would have been fired by now! That is my honest opinion ! I would really like to hear what ot her people think!
Ty Lue won a championship, Blatt didn't. That tends to get you a little more leeway. He also has a better personal relationship with Lebron; obviously you think that has to do with race? It might, it might not. Seems like this post/poll belongs on your facebook or twitter, so you can get agreement from your peers about what is clearly your opinion, not on a betting forum as it has nothing to do with betting. I don't think Betallsports turned it into a race question as the title of the post is "WHAT IF THE CAVS COACH WAS CAUCASIAN?" Lol- its very purely a race-based question.
DrJmali I know you can't be serious with the "little more leeway" statement!! Do you have any idea what Blatt record was at the time of his firing? 30-11 ,maybe LEBRON should have given him a "little leeway"!
Why is everyone so scared to say what they really feel!
Because whoever can't see what is going on obviously just DOES NOT WANT TO SEE IT!

I am serious. I think there's a difference between winning a ring and not winning a ring. We disagree on this. I don't think Blatt was a bad coach, and I know he had a great record, he just didn't have a great relationship with Lebron. That's it. If you think that is based on race, then you can think that. I disagree with that assessment. Better personal relationship + a ring will buy you more leeway. Not sure why that's ridiculous to you. Why are you soliciting other's opinions if you just shout your disagreement and insist your view is the correct one? You don't want discourse, you just want agreement.
PBMULE you are so correct in the Marvin Lewis comparison ! LEwis is sporting the fantastic 0-7 playoff record since 2003 ! That's 15 years at 0-7 in the playoffs ! Please anyone name me 1 Caucasian coach who has lasted that long with such coaching statistics! I mean I'm really not trying to be a rabble rouser , but the facts are the facts! these sports teams are actually afraid to fire a coach of color because of the backlash the organization will get ! It's really a shame !
