It is a shame that your son focused on skin color and equally shameful that your answer also focused on skin color.

I do not say the above to suggest you or your son did/do anything wrong, just an observation. 

I assume there was another son of color asking his father why are all the coaches white and his father most likely said because "race". 

Nothing shameful about a child asking questions about skin color, whether with regard to players or coaches. No different from asking why only women do the balance beam in gymnastics. No different from a kid who on his first trip to a farm asks if all sheep are white. Five year olds are just noticing patterns out there in the world and looking for answers, not bringing their prejudgments to them.

Vlad's answer is in a rather different category. He has a theory of race based achievement which he applies to cases like a black basketball team. "Blacks are superior athletes, period." Perhaps other races are better at other things. Period.

Your hypothetical father also has a theory, but it might not be race based, if he thinks social factors like biased selection make whites more likely to be in coaching positions than blacks. E.g., if owners thought "Whites are superior coaches, period."
