Race, Supervisorial Change, and Job Outcomes: Employability Resilience in NCAA Division I College Basketball Coaching

Abstract: We examine how race affects the employment status of subordinates following a job change by their immediate supervisors. We test whether racial homophily between a subordinate and a supervisor affects the odds of being let go. We also consider whether a racial match between an incoming head coach and assistant affects whether assistants retain their assistant coaching position. Data for these analyses come from a unique data set that explores what happens to 704 NCAA Division I college basketball assistant coa… Show more

“…This uncertainty allows high-status members of the hiring team to have undue influence and lead the team to select their preferred candidate. Given preferences for same-race and same-sex others (Cunningham and Sagas 2005;Gorman 2005;Savage and Seebruck 2016), such candidates may not be best.…”

“…The extant literature documents the disadvantages and barriers that black coaches face when getting a job or being promoted (Bozeman and Fay 2012; Day and McDonald 2010; Seebruck and Savage 2019) and the additional precarity of work due to racially homophilous networks (Savage and Seebruck 2016) and appointments to teams with a poor record (Cook and Glass 2013). In this article, we hope to shift the focus of the literature and identify mechanisms that operate against black coaches during their tenure as head coaches.…”

“…Initially, racial homophily in the hiring process presents black coaches with a more precarious work environment (Seebruck and Savage 2014). Further, homophily in coaching positions insulates the racially homophilous from being fired (Savage and Seebruck 2016). It follows that black coaching candidates are disadvantaged due to a lack of social capital (Day and McDonald 2010; McDonald and Day 2010).…”
