"hos" is an expression in the Black community with the connotation of whore. It is a derogatory remark that is used by Black people about Black people. I am not sure of the meaning behind the word although it is used often.
When Mr. Imas was saying it he used it as a description of the women on a basketball team. I am not sure why he used it but he did and as a result lost his job.
Very often in this Politically Correct society that we live in one race, culture or gender, is not allowed to use derogatory remarks about another race, culture or gender.

The word "hos" is a take off of the word whores and was spoken as an expression of slang.

It is referring to Hoes as in sluts, a lot of times when people spell that word they drop the "e", especially in lyrics
