[quote=Anonymous]97% men?. Fact, more males play sports and more males pursue coaching as a profession. Use google and you can see that it’s a significant gap, given that fact the number of qualified candidates will always be larger given that difference. Also, you reference the two teams playing in the finals have mostly male staffs. So what? Seems like they are great coaches to get their teams to that point. Why does it matter if they were hired based on merit?

Below are numbers from the university of Minnesota from a 2019-2020 study on coaches of all women’s D1 athletics . A lot more than 3% of  jobs in college athletics are given to female coaches.

10697 total coaches of that 10697 employed coaches there were 3555 head coaching positions. 1501 were held by women 42%

That means there were 7142 other coaches (assistants, graduate assistants, etc) 3948 of those positions were held by women. That is 55%

Also women’s soccer is the only major sport that does not change the rules because girls play the game. Same game, same rules.  Which in my opinion makes it more attractive to be coached by males. Not a lot of men coaching field hockey and women’s lacrosse or softball. All three of those sports are dominated by female head coaches. Women’s lacrosse 91% of head coaches were women in 2020. Why don’t you think or do some actual research before posting you ridiculous claims?

Stop boiling everything down to sex, skin color, orientation and religion. It’s tedious and lazy.
