It's just that it's the first time which makes it significant. Now that more and more black coaches are being hired along with the success of most of them, it'll become a non factor sooner or not much later.
For example, the '01 oscars were headlined by Denzel and Halle Berry. When '04 came around Jamie Foxx and Morgan Freeman both picked up oscars, yet I heard nothing of it in terms of racial significance.
