Why Do Female Basketball Coaches Wear Heels?By

After men set the dress code, women have had to adapt to norms that aren't always comfortable (or even safe) for the job they're doing.
Coaching basketball is an athletic endeavor; coaches stalk the sidelines, run down the court, and jump around when a call doesn't go their team's way. Watching female coaches courtside, the adage that women can do anything men can and in heels is never more apparent.
But of course the coaching dress code (business attire like suits, ties, and dress shoes) has been established by men. "Coaches wear suits because that's what they do, because no one has ever bucked the trend," Jeff Halmos of the men's design firm Shipley & Halmos told
the New York Times in 2013. Last year, according to
ThinkProgress, 59.3 percent of women's college basketball teams were coached by women, which is down from pre-Title IX numbers (the legislation actually incentivized men getting into women's ball). But historically, even when a majority of women held these coveted jobs, they dressed in a way that mimicked their male colleagues and counterparts: in suits, but this time with heels.
