abstract = {This paper estimates racial differences in the retention probability, pay and performance of
NBA coaches over the 1996-2003 period. Using a hazard function approach, I find small and
statistically insignificant racial differences in the exit hazard, conditional on team
performance, team payroll, and a variety of coaching quality indicators. There were also
statistically insignificant racial differences in the quit and discharge hazards, all else equal.
Further, among marginal coaches, I find no racial performance differentials, all else equal.
Finally, controlling for performance and qualifications, I find small and statistically insignificant
racial differences in annual compensation, total contractwide compensation, and contract
duration. Together, these findings do not suggest that black NBA coaches are subject to
racial discrimination in entry, pay or retention.},
