“The men who were athletic directors just kind of weeded out the female administrators … That’s it. That’s what happened.” —Karen Dennis, director of both the Ohio State men’s and women’s track and field and cross country teams

Such broad generalizations infer that it is only men who are making hiring decisions. If this is true, as Ms. Dennis infers, how has she kept her position?

The writer then states, “Since 2006, the percentage of women in coaching positions has fluctuated between 64 and 57 percent — a difference of one coach.” Am I missing something? Doesn’t this tell us that there are more women coaches than men?
