Was his coach non-white? Was your friend the only white person on an otherwise non-white team? Did this all happen in a society where white people were historically disadvantaged and the words "honky tonk" were ugly symbols from the ugliest, most repugnant period in that society's treatment of white people? If so, I guess people might at least reasonably question what that minor coach's attitudes about white people were. Probably, people would think that minor coach probably shouldn't be a minor coach any longer (at least until he or she addresses those attitudes in a satisfactory way).
