Coach Staley is amazing. I realize Coach Staley’s main focus and dedication is to black female coaches and players but I do feel she is an exemplary inspiration for female coaches and players in general.

Just to clarify Dawn Staley is the highest paid coach for NCAA women's basketball. Meaning she is paid more than any male or female coach in women's NCAA basketball.

[@mommatia6095]

Live 1 mile from campus and the arena. Dawn, took over, the team was at it's lowest non winning streaks. She turned our women's program around. We love her here in South Carolina. I cannot believe the coach before Staley, wasn't winning. Congratulations coach. Gamecock Nation love you.

[@j.wimboli9667]

I can't wait until we stop say the first black this! How about the highest paid women coach in the NCAA professional basketball ball.

[@D_A_Marv]

I agree with you, but I doubt….

[@amyreynolds3619]

When it doesn't have to be said, it will be time to call it enough. When I was younger , you couldn't go anywhere after college level basketball. With Dawn Staley ,etc. nothing stops a woman from using her God given talent. God bless you Dawn Staley.

[@sharronward4748]

I agree. However she is the highest paid NCAA women's basketball coach meaning she is paid more than any male or female coach for women's college basketball. Its being stated incorrectly here.

[@j.wimboli9667]

@@sharronward4748 OK, SHARRON! I GOT YOU!

Is Dawn Staley the highest paid black women’s basketball coach or is she the highest paid woman’s basketball coach? Which ever it is she earned it bringing that bad women’s basketball program to the best program and also for all supporting all the other Athletics programs at Carolina.

I am a Ucon fan but i love Don Staley. I studied my Bachelor's degree to PhD from Ucon. She built that team but i didn't like the title says ( black) I am an Indian. In America what % White people in sports?

[@ro992]

*Highest paid black woman* ? . Does that mean that there are *white female coaches being paid more* ?? If she *IS* the highest paid female coach, then *why do you need to say* the highest paid *black* female coach. *Explain, and help me and others understand. *Thanks*

[@sharronward4748]

She is the highest paid NCAA women's basketball coach. They are stating it incorrectly. You are right this needs to be clarified.

[@billsmith5166]

Hypocrite, amazing that when her fans are reported using the N word, it's OK with her: On Tuesday, Missouri athletic director Jim Sterk alleged that fans of South Carolina womens basketball showered Missouri players with spit and racial epithets following their 64-54 Sunday loss to the Gamecocks. The game was hotly contested, so much so that two players were ejected following a bench-clearing fracas. South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn called the allegations “serious and false” at a news conference Wednesday. Dawn Staley Addresses Missouri AD Jim Sterk’s Comments - 1/31/18 UPLOADED BY SOUTH CAROLINA GAMECOCKS ON 2018-01-31. “Did I lose a little sleep last night? Yes, obviously,” Staley told reporters. “(The allegations are) going to be handled, but not right here, and not in the manner in which they were dealt. That’s all I’m going to say about that.” Sterk also described the atmosphere as unhealthy. “I mean, it was not a good environment and unfortunately I think Coach Staley promoted that kind of atmosphere,” Sterk said in the interview. “It’s unfortunate that she felt she had to do that.” In a more direct response to Sterk’s comments, Staley vehemently stood behind the Gamecocks’ fanbase. If I could uproot my fans and place them in any other arena, that coach would be tremendously proud, Staley said. I stand by our fans, by the way they cheer, by every single thing they bring to the arena.
