Would you as a parent have handled it differently? Possibly, but it's also possible that you're speaking from a stance where you wouldn't be paraded in a room and then singled out, while the guy you're supposed to trust is having an entire team "touch" you to get over their "fear" of blacks. 

As a coach, I have seen this encounter all too often, but instead of singling out my players of color to use as an example, I find ways to show my teams areas of success on the court that can be exploited and used to be successful and hopefully win.

The kids will always remember the day that their coach asked them to be "statues in museum." That's not something one easily forgets.
