As an outsider far removed from any inside info, I'd always heard that he was considered a racist. Does that come from Frank Broyles' side of the termination or is there something to it?

Nolan's biggest advantage was also his biggest fault, and that was the chip on his shoulder. The man set out to prove himself as a black coach, and by God he did.
But even after going to 3 Final Fours in 6 years, winning a National Championship, and playing for another, Nolan never got the respect he thought he deserved.
Was Nolan a racist? I don't think so. But he did dwell on his perceived notion of racial inequality, whether justified or not.
