4 black coaches have won nba titles. They are: Bill Russell, Al Attles, Lenny Wilkens, and K.C. Jones. If Doc Rivers and the Celtics close out the series with the Lakers he will be the 5th. Revised answer 5 black coaches have won nba titles. They are: Bill Russell, Al Attles, Lenny Wilkens, K.C. Jones and Doc Rivers.

Bernie Bickerstaff & Alvin Gentry are 2 that come to mind

Race has nothing to do with coaching.

there have been 20 players that have became coaches. lets not forget presidents of a team.

I heard around 100-150k for college coaches and 575k for NBA coaches.

There were 5 black coaches in the 2011 NBA playoffs: Larry Drew of the Atlanta Hawks Doc Rivers of the Boston Celtics Lionel Hollins of the Memphis Grizzlies Nate McMillan of the Portland Trail Blazers Monty Williams of the New Orleans Hornets

NBA coaches get paid more. College coaches only get paid for about 40 games while the NBA coaches have to coach 82 or more games.

Al Attles, KC Jones, Bill Russell,Lenny Wilkens and Doc Rivers

0 Phil Jackson was the closest in 3 years

yes, most players have agents, or their own trainers

At one time, there were player-coaches in the NBA such as Lenny Wilken's and Bill Russell. Now, it is prohibited by the collective bargaining agreement.

It depends on who you are talking about.

At the begginning of the 2009 NBA Playoffs, there were six black head coaches in the playoffs--4 in the East and 2 in the West: Cleveland's Mike Brown, Boston's Doc Rivers, Atlanta's Mike Woodson, Detroit's Michael Curry, Portland's Nate McMillan and New Orleans' Byron Scott. As of May 5th, only Brown, Rivers and Woodson remain alive in the playoffs.

The five coaches that have lost the most games in the history of the NBA include, Sidney Lowe, Paul Silas, Tim Floyd, Quinn Buckner, and Bill Hanzlik. Many of these coaches finished one or more seasons losing more than 70 games.

Coaches like Jim O'Brien - Pacers Gregg Popovich - Spurs Stan Van Gundy - Magic never played in the NBA and just studied basketball for the life of coaching.

Phil Jackson and Pat Riley

No, there are many NBA players of different races.

I do not think there were coaches who were black, assistant ones yes.

Yes, they do. Many players like playing one on one, although many coaches don't like that.

There are 30 major league teams. Each team has @8 coaches ( this varies by team) for a total of around 240 coaches. There are 5 managers and 37 total black coaches in the major leagues. The Dodgers have the most with 4 while 6 teams do not have any black coaches. Of the 37 coaches 13 are of Latino decent. The break down is 16 1st Base Coaches, 9 Hitting Coaches, 5 3rd Base…

The NBA is about 90% black so to name all the black NBA players would be nearly impossible.
