NBA Coach Against A Woman Coach In The NBA For Key Reason

Per Tim Struby of SB Nation:

“You can’t have a hot woman in the NBA,” says one veteran NBA coach.

“Guys will be trying to f— her every day.”

“By and large the NBA is an incredibly sexist environment,” says the veteran NBA coach.

“I listen to players talk about women. I have a daughter and it’s sometimes disturbing. But it’s nothing new. It hasn’t gotten worse over the years.

In our society there are men uncomfortable working under women and a handful of our players would have a problem with it.”

As workplace behavior, this is totally unacceptable. Companies tend to thrive when they accept all job candidates, and make all of their employees feel comfortable. This is clearly not the case with women in the NBA.

Whether the coach is right about the players is questionable, but the fact that he believes he is tends to be troubling enough. If he is in a position to hire someone, he will not hire women that he finds attractive. That is, by all means, sexist.
