I tend believe that being named the head coach of Team USA was Dawn's lifelong goal. The Olympics are a big part of her legacy. So it doesn't make sense to me that she would leave the women's game.
Dawn Staley a ‘top head coaching candidate’ for NBA opening, report says
- Thread starter world famous 3rd base hecklers
- Start date
What happened to the we-only-want-people-who-want-to-be-here crowd? I hope Coach Staley chooses to stay at SC, but the cost of maintaining a best-in-class WBB program just went up, again.
It could also be good PR for Coach Staley and SC. It gives Staley and SC more national exposure and benefits both if she listens but chooses to remain at SC and restates her commitment to WBB.
Dawn is having a blast at Americup and all the Gamecocks are hitting the social media hard and proud.
Henny and Boston on the USA team. Kardoso for Brazil and Amihere for Canada
I like Beamer and he is the best choice for this program... Mark my words...
I see this as another bad RT hire. But then again I hope you are right.
Tanner really didn't hire him, It was the former Carolina players who know Beamer's body of work first hand and Tanner was forced to do the right thing.
I still say Tanner was close in hiring Mike Bobo as our new head coach...
Your argument is flawed in that I believe the Democrats' issue is with the wealthy paying their fair share in taxes and that includes Black man Lebron. I don't think LeBron's skin color excludes him from the issue of paying his fair share in taxes. In fact, athletes get screwed in this way as every state an athlete plays a game in has their hands in his/her pockets with regards to taxes.
This ain’t communist North Korea………she can talk to whoever she wants last I checked. Them asking permission is simply a professional courtesy. That’s where it ends. So if South Carolina would’ve said no, and I’m Staley, I would then interview even if I didn’t want the job to prove a point. Keeping someone against their will has never ended positively
I love Dawn, and if there is one female out there who could succeed at coaching in the NBA, it's her.
Having said that, I will be absolutely stunned if she gets the offer.

How do schools which do not sponsor football (or sponsor it below the D-1 level) pay for their varsity sports programs?
If the NBA was really "woke" as they claim they are, they would already have a female coach. But, as usual, it's do as I say, not as I do. We've already seen where their wokeness ends with China.
The right thing was to hire Beamer? I hope it works out, but he really didn't have the qualifications.
Lebron is a jerk and the main reason I wont watch the NBA . Most arrogant person I have ever seen. I do enjoy watching Curry sometime,fantastic shooter
Probably not through any sports at all. Maybe some TV deals.
Of course, football is expensive to sponsor.
I would guess, it's men's basketball, men's baseball. Some Northern schools appreciate their hockey and lacrosse. Although soccer may be more popular, seems like there is not a big swel of money in them.
Democrats complain plenty about how white men make too much money. You're right, they only use the term "fair share" when they're talking about taxes. But they complain about both.
Athletes don't get screwed on their games either. They don't pay taxes in two states for one game. They pay taxes in the state where the game is played, but this isn't in addition to taxes in their home state.
If Dawn left tomorrow….. Our elite athletic director, RAY TANNeR, would make a SLAM DUNK hire to keep us a National POWER HOUSE in women’s basketball!!!!!!! my question is why hasn’t the activistism nba already hired a female coach??? Plus, Dawn and her players don’t participate in the National Anthem and the NBA is about that
IDGAF!
IDGAF!

Some of you may be dissapointed; Dawn is not going to the NBA, at least not this year. Portland went in another direction.
Those of you that "IDGAF" about Women's sports, or dislike Dawn for political reasons will have to put up with more SEC championships and final four appearances, and most likely more National Championships.
There's been no indication Bobo was ever seriously considered by the administration for the job. However, there were quite a number of fans on this forum who were vocal that he would be a good option as HC.
She was never getting either of these jobs. Letting it leak that they are considering a woman is just a way of buying woke points.
You can say the same thing about Lincoln Riley a few years back when Tanner tried to hire him... Someone told Tanner that Lincoln Riley really didn't have the qualifications.
I think the next move for Coach Staley, is to become the Men's basketball coach at South Carolina... That would really open doors for all women whoever wanted to coach on the men's level, college or Pro...
Tanner should make it happen after this year... There is no way Martin will have a good year, this year to keep his job...
Really?? Didn’t realize you were such a staunch feminist that you would be willing to lose maybe the best coach ever at USC in the name of feminist empowerment.
If she's the best candidate, then she will do well on her own merits regardless of gender.
Still your support of an African American woman busting glass ceilings in a male dominated business is admirable. And that you are willing to sacrifice our most successful program for a larger societal goal is..... so progressive of you
Oh clearly you are too modest, why else would want DS to leave us?
I want to see all individuals pursue their dreams and achieve at the highest level, regardless of race and gender.
That deserves the Nobel Prize for Virtue Signaling - serious or not.
