This was a great round table. As a black male I am proud of my sisters who are excelling and opening doors for other black female coaches. Keep rising to the top ladies.

I’m watching this for the first time in March of 2024. This is still relevant and powerful today as it was five years ago! WOW. What insightful words of wisdom and strength! Excellent!!!

So impactful!

Here watching after Coach Staley just won the National Championship. She has something that most people don't have, what? Sure, she has that competitive drive, but what made her a Champion as a player, Olympic gold winner, and now a successful Collegiate Coach is..."the Eye of the Tiger". Meaning, she's relentless and ruthless on the Court and she brought that today winning that National Title, again!

That is true! But she also has a gift of being able to reach/relate to young adults as they are today. Kids have changed a lot since she began coaching and even since like before the pandemic. It is a different world and Coach Staley has changed with it....for the better of the game and the teams.

It’s great to see black women advancing in athletics. Playing is cool, now there’re coaches and eventually will serve as AD’s.

This was a great discourse, ladies. Keep on being: Powerful, Blessed, Beautiful, Brilliant AND BLACK! 💐🦋🌹

I love listening to these ladies

I loved watching the five black coaches talk about coaching etc. I am a 71 years old black female and have been a volunteer coach with inner city youths for more than 40 years. first you show them love, praise them when they make mistakes and let them be themselves. Don't keep them on the bench too long. Give them the same opportunity as others. These 5 coaches are great for our kids. They are awesome black women, doing what they do.

I think this presentation was great. My aunts were basketball stars in their home towns in Tennessee. This had to be in the 40s. We as black women were not of during civil rights time. It is amazing that we are talking about our recognition in todays time in any capacity.

What a beautiful conversation

One of the gyms you see in Dawn is that she does not look like an intimidating person on the outside but she still brings the fire of a coach who is an is an imposing figure. And she has been able to have great success at the head coach. The difference between size and stature is seen in her.

I was blessed to work in behind camera positions at past Summer Olympics when Coach Staley played point guard for the USA. Coach Staley transforms into a fierce competitor when the ball gets in play. She has an strangely intense look in her eyes that does not waver and her body language becomes something difficult to fully comprehend. Coach Staley is a rare person.

JUST WATCHING THIS APRIL 2024! POWERFUL INTERVIEW ❤

All these ladies are great Black female coaches. It's so sad that being black causes folks to not see them. However, this is changing slowly, but for the better. Coach Staley has numbers that undeniably cause folks to see her. In seeing her too, we look at the other coaches who look like her and coach Peck. I am personally so proud of her, and love watching her with her team. The team believes in her. Her legacy will live for a long time. Aja Wilson is an example of Dawn Staley's greatness. There will be more Aja Wilson's who extend coach Staley's legacy. Greatness shines like a beam of light. Much love to all these coaches. Know that we see you, and so do the others who pretend not to.❤❤❤❤❤

It's beautiful to see many people still discovering and enjoying this discussion even years after it aired. Each participant's candid commentary about their journey was genuinely enlightening and inspiring. There was an abundance of wisdom shared in that room that was truly invaluable. I have always admired these individuals as players, but watching them become coaches has been even more fascinating. It's truly unique to see how they have grown and evolved into such great leaders and mentors.

Beautiful Queens!! #Salute

This is the intergenerational transmission transmission of knowledge, confidence, and hope. That is a beautiful garden of women.

My first time here. The conversation is so uplighting. Had me tearing up listening to these beautiful black women support each other. Love the story of cutting the basketball net…please keep the conversation going!!

I remember growing up in Philadelphia and hearing about this girl from North Philly who was taking it to the Boys on the Ball court all over the City.when i saw her pic in the Newspaper. I could not believe how beautiful she was and still is .😀

I love watching Coach Staley… you can tell she is taking in the question before responding. Showing up authentically as you may not guarantee you get the job every time, but it will guarantee you end up in the right place for you.

This is my 2nd time listening to this conversation. There needs to be a repeat of this with these women and other Black college level female coaches just so we can hear about how things have changed or not changed. This is a really awesome discussion!

I am so proud to see Black women coaches being hired and having success in their field. This talk session with these very respectful women’s of power five basketball programs is just AWESOME!! I wish them continue success and keep open up doors for others to follow.❤️❤️

This is crazy. Here in the uk we still have a major issue with the lack of black coaches/managers in all of our football/soccer leagues. The racism in the uk is a lot more deeper and hidden away.

It’s a blessing to see these coaches come together and talk about the game, and how to improve, and get more coaches in at all levels of college coaching. I hope this gets out and our young ladies see the benefits of being coached by one of these women.

​@klevdavful Not really. She took a team full of super players with size, and lost to an undersized Iowa team with only one super player. She pulled Boston out with two fouls and when Boston returned she lost her effectiveness. She never adjusted to Iowas disrespect for Raven Johnson's 3 point shooting ability until too late in the game. Not too bright for a coach loaded with talented superstars.

Pat Summitt is my favorite coach in any sport at any level but I would have been...."UN mad" 😁 if Rutgers had won that title game in '07 but Coach Stringer is also one of my favorite coaches in any sport at any level and she deserved to win at least one.She has a WNIT title but she deserved the big one.

This was an awesome roundtable. I enjoyed watching yall strong women. keep pushing ladies ! You learn something every day, and today was my day to take a piece of what was said. Thanks, ladies. I am always and will be a Gamecock Fan 4lyfe!😊

I so agree with this, but I'll take it a step further. Most games in the NCAA and WNBA have two game analysts... right? Ever notice that one is a man and one woman? Now look at the experience in the game of basketball, most of the time the female analyst has WAY MORE experience in the game than her partner... but yet she is the #2 analyst? Whatever happened to the best person gets the job? I've watched WNBA games where the male analysts calls a player by the wrong name... would that ever happen in the NBA and a female analyst? I was one of the fortunate in the early days of Title 9 to go to college on an athletic scholarship; but when I look back now... we truly have not come that far in 40+ years. We're still struggling for the same opportunities as men, equal pay etc... And as a last reminder, please look back in World Championships, Olympic Medals and National Championships and see who has had the most in the last couple of decades.., women are leading that by far. It's time to keep fighting and pass along the spirit and determination all of you have to the next generation.

Please do not stop this conversation as a coach of young ladies as a male my girls seeing you hearing you with style and Grace is immeasurable keep pushing

Wow, love Dawn Staley, and proud of these sister ladies!

What an amazing session. We are always having to do so much more than everyone else just to hope for a chance. It's sad but these ladies, God willing, will change some of that.🙏🏾🙏🏾

Dawn Staley, when it's all said and done, will go down as one of the greatest coaches of all time, NOT woman coach.

This was a very honest discussion that needed to be had. Every lady on this panel can help the next young lady who has dreams of helping young girls become WOMEN. Young ladies should watch this and learn. Great job ladies and keep up the great job. Love watching your games!!!❤❤❤❤❤

These types of Round Table is needed and hope to see more Black women to the table.

Very good piece of work. Shoutout to the Players tribune for this

Great video!!! Man, Pat was simply an awesome ordinary person outside of being a coach. What a moving thing she did for Carolyn and her confidence toward eventual head coaching success.

GREAT WOMEN OF WISDOM AND CLASS, ALL THE RESPECT LADIES!

3 1/2 years later. The three women not head coached at Power 5 jobs, only Legette-Jack has been hired at a Power 5 job.

That is the one way to San Jose."
