I taught Dawn when she was in 8th grade. She was so smart and get her work done in a class and come find me a P. E. Teacher and challenge me to a one on one. She would beat me every time. Later after she graduated from college she came back and mentored some of my students from Fitsimmons. I am so proud of all she has accomplished.

Dang she beat you 1 on 1? Did you ever win against her? Pretty cool that you helped her along the way. Wish I had a teacher like that growing up. I had some very negative coaches and teachers as a young person. It was very damaging to me. They were bitter and angry adults and didn't want us to succeed. I dont know why I had to go through that, but I'm always happy for people that got to have positive experiences. I'm not surprised when they are successful in life.

Coach Staley is THE truth!! She's an ICON and an example for present and future coaches (of all sports) to learn from. Continued blessings, success and happiness💯🏀 P.S Champ is too cute!!

I feel her going to college to get away from people or wanting her own space. I felt that in my spirit!!!!

She is the BEST coach for woman’s BB during & after your finished. I’m not bragging, but SO grateful my daughter had the opportunity to play for Dawn and now my daughter has had great opportunities to enter the coaching world and is also her mentor.We had the golden privilege to spend time with her,eat,talk with her & of course pics,!😊 and she has just continued to Go above. I’m SO proud of this woman and the SC program, She’s SO REAL and a great Representation of it all.

I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to actually meet Coach Staley when she came to a tournament in New Orleans last year. She is so down to earth and did not have an entourage with her, just her SOLO.

I’m a woman that’s never been into basketball really but I’ve always heard about Dawn. She’s a doing great big things. Rooting for sis all the way!

Dawn is a great coach and person. Her hard work and dedication to basketball is in her dna.

Thank you, Pivot Podcast, thank you, Coach Staley. I have been grieving since March 31st, but we all know,in our hearts, who the real National Champions are. South Carolina is #1 and will always be. God bless you all from this 72 year old fam from Georgia.

Dawn Staley is amazing every top level female basketball player should definitely want to play for her

Coach Staley is one of my biggest inspirations. A chill environment and great conversation. Keep it coming!

Been watching Dawn since her college days. A wonderful human being. SC wbb and coach are as authentic as can be. Top tier.

As a North Philly native that grew up in the exact same neighborhood as she it's a fact that we are determined to make it . I've been following Coach Staley since she first came on the scene. I'm very proud of her and it's fantastic to see her rise above the negativity. God bless 🙌 🙏 you Dawn ❤

I didn’t follow the women’s NCAA until I saw LSU and Iowa last year. I was so proud of Dawn when I learned she was a coach and won the championship UNDEFEATED. Dawn was great when she played. Congratulations Dawn you deserve all your flowers.

Man im a 80s baby and when i say I had a huge crush on Dawn 🥰 and she was my fav lady hooper ever. Now she's the best coach out here. Keep doing great things 👍🏾

I love, love the Pivot. I was a fan of Dawn's as an athlete. However, as she has evolved beyond the role of a player, to coach, advocate, and beyond, I can't get enough of watching her work. She is unapologetically speaking up and raising the next generation of boss women. My God, count them, the number of young ladies she will get to influence and release to the world. As a person who lives in a world with a passion for youth and a desire to make the world better, you bet believe, you move alone, and spend time doing work that seems/feels odd/boring. However, spending time at the trial is indeed way bigger than a hobby/curiosity. To change the game, you got to understand and know all the strategies. I can't wait to see how that trial and others manifest in her mission. I am grateful for the platform you young men have created. Keep doing work!

The state of South Carolina thanks and salutes Coach Staley for her many contributions to the Gamecocks!!! THANK YOU!!!

For her to speak the rebuild into fruition is so HARD! Very serious spirit! 💪🏾👑

Listen, I'm a 52 year old man, and I'm from Virginia. Dawn was one of my role models, and she is a legend. I would love to see her get an opportunity to coach in the NBA because I believe she would be as successful as she is in college. Once again, the Pivot has delivered!

Great guest and conversation! The Pivot is great show! In Feb 1992, I had the good fortune as an undergrad at UM to watch an historic matchup of UM vs UVA which was played to a sellout game with UVA winning 75-74. Thanks for featuring Dawn; she is not only a great coach but a person who inspires and touches lots of people!

I watched Dawn Staley play for Olym teams and WNBA Charlotte Sting. What a terrific player to be so small. Scoring, rebounding, passing. The way she controlled the game. Listening to this interview I found she and I share many personality traits. She said coaching found her. That's good for young blk girls who want to persue basketball as a career path. She is successful in life, will serve as a great mentor for them. With her as coach I feel confident SC will make another run for the championship.

I love the fact they just couldn't stop talking to her that's how u know it was so genuine it was nothing but love

Dawn was an incredible player and an even incredible human and connector. She knows how to communicate and get the best out of each player, uniquely and I’m just so happy she was given the incredible opportunity to lead on the highest stage because she deserves it. 🐐

I really enjoyed this!! I played pickup games with dawn at UVA and had no idea who this girl was playing with the guys!! Emmitt St.Gym!! Now listening and seeing this I am so happy for her and all she helped! Even tho I'm a Tarheel!!

The Pivot need to be an HBO or Showtime program.. the interviews are so fire! and the guest are A1!

She was a helluva player and is equally a helluva coach. Keep ballin’ Dawn and keep those girls “playing like boys.”

I remember seeing Dawn in 1996 Olympics in Atlanta... She still looks the same (Like Fine Wine).

I lived in those same projects and a rowhouse was a step up from the high rise building. I experienced both. Gunshots, gangwars too. My family all are homeowners and college graduates. That life can drive you to do better. Congratulations on your third championship Coach Staley. So proud of a Raymond Rosen, Dobbins Tech alumni.

She was one of my firt childhood crushes. Her olympic run was so pure.

Did she tho? Because it sounded to me like the officiating which impacted Boston being benched is what was a huge reason for their loss. That SC wasn’t allowed to play their game. In the press conference she basically implied the Iowa coach made racist comments. Coach Bluder is far from being racist and that was wrong. She set up the Iowa team to appear being racist and that they won because because they’re white. Iowa played hard defense and they worked their ass off to win that game. They shut Boston down and that was the plan and it worked.

@@Vashby78 multiple things can be true. She got out coached, the players got outplayed, the refs were horrible and Iowas coach (and the press) said racist tropes that dehumanized the SC player (“bar fighters” and thugs)… the way the world acted when AR taunting CC is proof of the hypocrisy. Look at what the First Lady did by trying to Iowa a pawn bc she knew who was backing Iowa and why many (not all) of their fans supported them. And the crazy thing is BOTH CC & AR where ok with things bc they know what happens on the court. the players just wanna play. They wanna talk trash (and yes some of it is racist), but they want to play and move on with life. It’s the media that keeps it going after the coaches expose it.

She did take responsibility for the loss and then added her but the officiating, but we couldn’t play our game how we usually do and we were labeled so and so. Coach Bluder said it was going to be a bar fight going into the game. Where I come…which is from Iowa when I think of a bar fight, I think of old drunk people going at it for the stupidest of reasons and defending their name til the end or until the cops show up. Wasn’t a dig at her SC girls, it was a way for her to express how hard the hawks were going to have to defend and fight for their team. What people don’t understand is that teams come from different parts of the country where things have different meanings. It doesn’t make a coach or a state racist. It’s not everyone in the world against people of color for every damn thing.
