A diversity report found the NBA posting nearly across-the-board gains in hiring of minorities and women after a small, one-year dip in its overall grade. Wednesday’s report card from The Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport (TIDES) at the University of Central Florida assigned an overall A grade, with an A-plus for racial hiring and a B-plus for gender hiring. The report annually examines positions for franchises as well as in league leadership, with this study using data to cover the 2021-22 season. A year earlier, the league saw its overall grade dip slightly to a B-plus despite its status as the leader among men’s professional leagues evaluated by TIDES.
