In the published article, there was an error in Table 1 as published. There was an inversion in rows 3 and 4 of the table, which incorrectly suggested that there are more Black coaches than White coaches, when in fact the opposite is true.
The corrected Table 1 and its caption appear below.
Table 1
| NBB | LBF | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Men | Women | Men | Women | |

| Total | 69 | 0 | 32 | 8 |
| General total | 109 | |||
