Was position taken into account? Don't centers commit more fouls than other positions typically? And aren't centers taller than other players, typically? If a high number of centers are black that would explain part of the discrepency wouldn't it?

(the above is just an example of how outside factors can contribute, I have no idea if it's true)

The problem with stats is people want to start drawing wild conclusions without sufficient data, especially when it comes to causality.

Without studies like this Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton would have to get real jobs and focus on real problems facing the black community (and the NBA dress code is not one of them btw)
