“…Recruiting is the lifeblood of all college basketball programs 39 and is a crucial function in producing winning intercollegiate teams. 40 Head college basketball coaches are salespersons and constantly seek to attract the most athletic, skilled, and talented players to their program. Recruiting is defined as the solicitation of a prospective student-athlete or a prospective student-athlete's relatives (or legal guardians) by an institutional staff member or by a representative of the institution's athletic interests for the purposes to secure the prospective student-athlete's enrollment and ultimate participation in the institution's intercollegiate athletics program.…”

Talent level can be quantified as a measure of the quality of the successive recruiting classes of incoming high school players who comprise the rosters of each team.…”

“…The ability to recruit directly correlates to how many games a team can win, how long coaches can keep their jobs, and how much they can earn because of their success. 40 Recruiting can be viewed as a confounding factor to coaching. Traditionally, coaches are evaluated in terms of team wins and losses, but such an approach may overlook the quality of players on a specific team.…”

Head Men's Basketball coaches at the collegiate level are often portrayed as teachers with the ability to dramatically elevate the productivity of their players. However, there is also the perception that perhaps head coaches are only as talented as the players on their team. Thus, a debate has ensued, do Men's Basketball coaches develop the players on their team, or is it in fact the talent of the players themselves that make a coach successful? Over the course of 17 seasons, and through the use of absorbed regression, over 80 coaches, as well as 28,581 player observations at the Division I level, were included in the data set. Results indicated that there were no substantial effects that most coaches significantly alter the productivity of the players. Some evidence was shown that there are some coaches who alter the productivity of the players. Thus, recruiting is essential to a team's success, and coaches should (re)consider how to develop their athletes throughout their tenure.

“…Sport leaders uphold a variety of occupational responsibilities; broadly, they oversee the implementation of policies and practices within their organizations, athletic departments, and/or teams ( 26 ). They also possess the status and power to influence organizational culture related to diversity, equity, and inclusion [DEI; ( 27 )]—especially by what they say or fail to say in relation to DEI topics, issues, and initiatives ( 18 , 28 , 29 ).…”

IntroductionAs individuals with occupational status and power, sport leaders (e.g., coaches and athletic administrators) are responsible for enforcing cultures of inclusion within institutions of athletics. Yet, sport leaders who possess LGBTQ+ sexual identities are frequently marginalized and stigmatized by entities within and outside of athletics (e.g., athletes, parents of athletes, colleagues). Therefore, LGBTQ+ sport leaders are often faced with a challenging set of circumstances: negotiate the authenticity of their sexual orientation in the context of sport, or leave the profession entirely.MethodsThe purpose of this study was to conduct a systematic review of research related to LGBTQ+ sport leader experiences. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA), research across six countries (China/Taiwan/Hong Kong, Italy, New Zealand, Norway, United Kingdom, United States) between 1997 and 2021 was analyzed.ResultsThemes across included studies (N = 34) describe intrapersonal experiences of LGBTQ+ sport leaders, interpersonal studies examining stakeholder attitudes (i.e., parents and athletes) toward LGBTQ+ sport leaders, and sport manager attitudes toward LGBTQ+ topics.DiscussionFindings convey that sport leaders continue to face marginalization due to the presence of heterosexism and heteronormativity in athletics. Future research should continue to explore LGBTQ+ sport leader experiences, behaviors, attitudes, and identities to determine their impact on fostering inclusion and belonging within athletic spaces.
