Could not be better representatives of the USA and the University of South Carolina.
GamecockScoop - WBB: Staley and Wilson lead USA to Gold
Dawn Staley and A’ja Wilson helped lead Team USA to a record seventh consecutive Olympic gold medal.
Gheez. There is always one.
AMEN AMEN AMEN AMEN
The bar is not really high for Men's Basketball you know. No post season in four years and 6 wins last year
And the wrestling upset where our guy came from behind to win it in the very last second of the match.
Staley is successful because she recruits at an elite level and in a league with only a handful of real contenders. Not taking anything away from her, but that's just what it is.
That was a true amateur team up against a pro team. It was also a blatant rod job, the worst of all time.
The women's volleyball team won the US women's first gold medal ever in that sport. They were not favored at all. So yes, they were both disappointments, but also surprises.
Well, wouldn’t that be true if Martin recruited players at an elite level? Heck, he doesn’t even recruit at an average level. Women’s basketball is very competitive even though it doesn’t get the exposure of the men’s sports. I don’t see the need to belittle Staley’s accomplishments to pump up average to below average coaches. Not taking away from Beamer because he hasn’t had an opportunity yet. However, our men’s coaches haven’t been good and I wouldn’t doubt that there are several females besides Staley that could equal their win output. Staley would exceed it just because she would probably bring in some better players. She at least has a pedigree as a player. Where did Frank Martin play?
Which conference would you prefer South Carolina Women's basketball compete in to make it tougher on them? They do play a competitive non conference schedule.
The US volleyball team is not ahead of the world. That is the first time they have won the gold against the Brazilians.
A broken clock is right twice a day.. Frank has only been right once in Ten Years. I wish I could do a good job once in 10 Years and people continue to make excuses for me. You will probably hear those same excuses after we have another mediocre year again. Where did Frank play again.
It was terrible - and nice pun! But in terms of cosmic significance, the one I mentioned was the first time we didn't win the Gold, which was shamelessly diverted to the Soviets. In terms of us, that was also a huge rod job in football up in Raleigh with that funny clock manipulation. But being robbed at UPC topped that, to be sure.
