Though diversity-related strides have been made in many areas of sport, racial minorities are still under-represented in many contexts. One such example is college coaching, where racial minorities represents a disproportionately low percentage of assistant and head coaches. Past research has shown that this phenomenon can be explained, at least in part, by racial differences in occupational turnover, as racial minorities generally leave earlier than do Whites. The purpose of this study was to explore this issue in greater depth by considering additional variables that could influence coaches' choice to leave: work experiences and sport coached. Industry reports suggest that the football context might differ from others, such as basketball or track, in that it is one characterized as being more hostile toward racial minority coaches. As such, the sport coached (football versus basketball or track) was included in the analysis. Further, persons who are supported in their workplace endeavors are likely to remain in the coaching profession longer than their counterparts; thus, work experiences were included as another potential variable that could influence the choice to leave coaching. In all, this study sought to examine the effects of race, sport coached, and work conditions, on college coaches' choice to leave the profession. Data were collected via questionnaire from 192 coaches of Division I-A football, men's and women's basketball, and track and field teams. Logistic regression was used to determine the predictors of the age the participants planned to leave the profession (prior to age 55 or after age 55). Results show support for a three-way interaction among the study variables, with the model predicting 63.2% of the cases correctly. The three way interaction indicated that minority football coaches in poor conditions were 94% more likely to choose to leave the coaching profession before the age 55 than white football coaches in poor conditions. Such differences were not apparent among track and basketball coaches. The results suggest that, consistent with previous reports, racial minorities in the football context had worse experiences than did racial minorities coaching other sports. This was especially the case for coaches with poor work conditions. Results also point to the need for diversity-related strategies aimed at coaches of football teams.
