Black Coaches United, a newly created group of minority men's and women's college basketball coaches, is looking to turn arenas and stadiums around the country into voting places this November.
The group, which according to ESPN's Myron Medcalf features Tubby Smith, Leonard Hamilton, former Georgia Tech coach Paul Hewitt, former Georgetown coach John Thompson III, Johnny Dawkins, Frank Haith, LSU women's basketball assistant Charlene Thomas-Swinson and Delaware women's coach Natasha Adair, also looks to provide a safe space for minority coaches who are seeking to discuss issues related to them.
Among other topics, the organization is calling on schools to help college athletes register to vote.
