Man I’m old!! I remember dawn staley as a player!
Me too!!!
Right?!? I remember crushing hard on her and Tammy Reiss as a young man. Remember how amazed we were at Dawn's level of play? NOW look at the guard talent today!!! The three frosh lived up to their hype Juju, Hannah and Milaysia all amazing!!! If Milaysia wasn't limited because of Dawn's talented rotation she would've had monster numbers like the other two.
@wda2478 you and me both, I crushed on Dawn tough in the 90s as a teen
@@wda2478 Errrbody crushed on Dawn 😀😃😄
With the mushroom cut
Mulkey should take note. Apologize obviously never crossed her mind.
NEVER!! 🤣😂🤣😂
Howq about you left her speak first?
@@chriskay1449She already did! She said she wished Cardoso would have shoved Angel who is close to Cardoso's size. Unfortunately for Mulkey, Angel went and sat on the bench during the fracas. There!
@@redformaze5968😂 I thought I saw her walking away.. Angel said she ain’t got time
@@chriskay1449 how about you learn how to spell
Coach Dawn is 💯…..It’s an emotional game. Carolina has got to maintain their composure. When you’re number one, there’s a target on your backs EVERY game. Teams/players will resort to all types of tactics, mental and physical to get you off your square. Bring back trophy #3, Dawn !!!
Filthy filthy coach
Yah really letting espn brainwash you into watching women’s basketball exclusively. ESPN is purposely not covering the men’s game to prove a political pt
I agree with you. But the refs created this environment because from the tip off it was chippy and they let them play. The refs should have taken control of the game then. Learning lessons for both though.
@@jasonking7250 Agreed
@@jasonking7250I agree! Angel Reese had some non basketball plays where she was swinging her arms and catching people in the face. At that point something should have been done.
Dawn Staley is a class act. Apologizing to the community even though it was entirely caused by on LSU player losing her mind.
SIcne when are "excuses" apologizing? Her thug player tried to injure a LSU player. That "apology" was BS. Not one ounce of sincerity.
@chriskay1449 Your LSU player committed a flagrant 2 after her pocket got picked and then threw an elbow at a South Carolina player just walking by. That's why she got shoved to the ground and frankly she deserved it. Also I don't care about either of these teams. I'm an University of Houston alum so my observations have no bias.
@asceticblur - you must be watching a different game because it was pretty obvious that South Carolina escalated it to the furious nature that it became.
@@Echothrax nope. Maybe you should schedule an Optometrist visit?
You gotta love her. She is one of the few genuine people left guiding the youth
Yeah guiding her Thugs into knocking people on the Floor. If that girl wasn't at S.C. then she would be on the Street knocking old women to the cement sidewalk and stealing their purses.
She reminds me of the female Deion Sanders tbh
@mcfkeystone9010 Huh? Two totally different characters.
What a Leader, she is a great coach as well. Love it!
Great coach but did not win the championship and lost to Iowa 😂LSU are champions the championship that matters
@@wowthatssocrazy7920 Coach Staley & South Carolina won the championship the year(2022) before LSU and will win it again this year.
That was last year. They’ll play again and the best team wins. Simple. No giggles needed.
wowthatssocrazy7920 Who hasn’t won the championship?!?! It’s not hard to check her record: 8x SEC champs, 2x NCAA national champs (would be 3x champs if 2021 Covid year was counted), etc etc. Her accolades are too many to list here. Shes established SC wbb as the gold standard, newest dynasty in collegiate wbb. We’ll see how this team fares. But there’s no question she’s already a 1st ballot HoF coach and HoF player as well.
@@helenoftroy1227 but did they win in 2023 no they lost to literally one woman on Iowa
Coach Staley is pure class - as usual. One of the best coaches in any NCAA sport, building a perennial powerhouse at South Carolina from scratch.
I bet Kim Mulkey won’t apologize for her players.
She sure didn't. Told the reporters she wished Cardoso would have pushed Angel 😂😂
@@MoonMoon-fx1op I like Angel but where was she after Flaujae got pushed? If she wanted the smoke, she could have gotten it.
@@BredSuperb to be fair, she was already dealing with her ankle by the bench when everything went down
@@MoonMoon-fx1opAngel would have lost that fight
@@MoonMoon-fx1opshe was flailing arms in a non-basketball kinda way. She don’t want no smoke.
Dawn is a perfect example of a leader
She's a racist. Just ask BYU.
And a RACIST leader at that
@@doniphan72ifyhow is Dawn Staley a racist
Explain please
@@vadenbovell527 ... th-cam.com/video/u77A70y-lZg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=W66QmEqpNFQxj6O5
Just like how she said transgenders should be allowed to compete in women's sports? I can't wait for men to completely take over women's sports and make you second class citizens in your own league.
Raven gotta dope azz personality 😂😂😂 Congratulations to Dawn Staley & the South Carolina Women’s Basketball program
ONE COACH TOOK ACCOUNTABILITY AND APOLOGIZED AND ANOTHER MAKE THE STATEMENT" I WISH SHE WOULD PUSH ANGEL REESE LIKE THAT INSTEAD OF THE SMALLER PLAYER" WHAT IS MULKEY TRYING TO PROMOTE HOW DOES THIS GROW THE GAME OF WCBB.
Because she didn’t have anything to apologize for.
You're typing in bold letters....calm down
@@Dinkbowdenyou didn't see that LSU player push the SC player? If you didn't, watch the video again. She should've apologized for her players behavior as well
@@DinkbowdenFlaujae started the whole thing. It's all good the hardware is going home with the Gamecocks!
@@bigboy8037 Flaujae started and Kamillia ended it! But she get tossed
Gotta keep the emotions in check but this is an emotional game. Much respect to Staley. She’s one heck of a coach.
Has she ever apologized for spreading the BYU racism hoax?
She's a filthy cheating thug as are her playera
I have no respect for someone making excuses like that. Her player could have seriously injured that LSU player. A real leader would have said, "This is not acceptable and offending players will be dealt with". ALl she did was make excuses. Screw her.
@@chriskay1449 SC coach apologized for what her player did and cardoso apologized and Johnson apologized what did KIM do or say about it it's gone be the exact reason nobody will go to LSU don't expect them top recruits to be heading to LSU any time soon because what Kim said decrease their recruiting and what dawn said increase their recruiting wether LSU fans accept the apology or not we SC don't care have a nice day ✌️
Dawn Staley is a class act!
Not even close
Remember that these players are all young. Lord, I did a lot of dumb things when I was young, so let's give them a break. Yeah, bad decision, but you do want your players to play with passion. It can be difficult to reel that back in. That was the correct thing for Coach Staley to say.
No. They need to be punished appropriately. And given the opportunity to redeem themselves. Quit making excuses for poor behavior. Stop it
@@TV-ob1ifthey did get punished they ejected both benches what are you talking about?
@@TheversafireI think tv is responding to Mike saying give them a break because they are young. I do not think he is saying they have not paid a consequence.
@@TheversafireI’m responding in to the initial comment which I disagree with. . They should be punished.
And they were. This isn’t rocket science
Remember these "young" players have been coached to behave like this. They're doing what is asked of them, either implicitly or explicitly. These aren't their decisions. Both these teams should be DQ'd from the rest of the year. this is f-ing embarrassing.
DAWN STALEY FROM PHILLY,,,,,OLE SCHOOL PHILLY!!!!💯💯💯
Philly to South Carolina stand up
I like how she noted that she wasn't always a saint. It happened. Player is gonna be suspended for an NCAA tournament game. Deserved. Take the punishment and move forward. Incredible to lose that many talented players and follow up with an undefeated season. That's incredible.
Love her. If I had a daughter and she loved basketball, I would want for her to play for Coach Staley.
Too bad she is also an ant-white racist
I hope Sarah Strong's parents have that attitude ! Love to see her in Garnet
Congrats to Dawn the best to do it !! And so elegant
Geno? Get real
And an elegant racist lol.
2023: WE’RE NOT BAR FIGHTERS. 2024: Sometimes these things happen
Im sure Mulkey will have something to say at the press conference.
No she won’t!
@@askdr.m3440she did go look it up
@@askdr.m3440she will have to. The question will inevitably come up
yes she did!!🤣😂🤣😂🤣 she was proud of how her girls fought! and wished kamilla had pushed angel! no joke.
@@askdr.m3440And she DEFINITELY won’t apologize.
Dawn is a CLASS coach❤🎉
More Like Classless…….
@@michael1257 I said Dawn STALEY not Kim MULKY, i don't THINK you heard me correctly . We talking about CLASS here.
Yeah I agree...She's one heck of a classy RACIST woman.
@@doniphan72ify YOU will know one, when you obviously ONE yourself. You HAD to GO there, without REASON other than her race and success in ALL of woman's college basketball.
@@DvonCarr ... No lol, she's literally a racist. She is full of hatred for anyone who is not of her skin tone lol. She even got into trouble with the media about it a few years back. You must be one yourself if you think she isn't one
Class act response
She’s a fantastic coach
LOl what? It was all excuses. She was only apologizing for the sake of it. She tought players to do what #10 did. Get out of here.
Dawn Staley been Bossin 🎉
For yrs she is tough
I think I would've loved to play for Coach Staley
Coach Staley need to give Kim Flashy some pointers on how to be a momma Coach and teach her team to be humble. These teams get tired if them pulling and pushing on them. Sad
LOl what? Her player literally recklessly shoved an LSU player to the ground then Staley made excuses for it.b How is that "humble". Stately needs to learn how to control her players better. #10 should be banned for the entire tourney.
@@chriskay1449 so I guess you willfully and conveniently overlooked the player from LSU that started the whole thing, right?
Dawn Stayley was definitely no saint on that court. Fierce competitor that didn't mind a scuffle here and there. With that being said I know she don't teach this stuff. Both teams are fighting for everything, with NIL, championships, and recruiting the stakes are high!
She is no better .her attitude reflects her players behavior
@@kathyshea2444crybaby 😂
Her Duke / BYU fiasco revealed her lack of character.
@@kathyshea2444 That's right!
She was beast on the Court n didn't take any mess from anybody when she played believe that
Dawn Staley Is Very Classy ❤
She’s a racist and has zero class
Thug
Your Momma@@joeburinskas8672
This was an actually interesting NCAAW game
NCAAW
@@ransom6892 thanks
🐐 as always. Much respect to her for being the bigger person.
Dawn is a class act!!! Congratulations 🎉
She helped spread the BYU racism hoax, knowing it was a lie.
Gotta be kidding. She still owes BYU and Duke an apology.
@@binkyxz3 fk duke and BYU are you gone make me apologize for what I said??? Like shut yo goofy as up
I fell in love with number 10 for SC.😁
Dawn Staley is such a class act. Wonderful coach, Way to go Game Ladies!
Dawn Staley is a classy act compared to Mulkey…. Just go listen to LSUs post game press conference 🤢
Dawn classy coach! Kim needs to take notes!!
Coach Staley is a true definition of an awesome coach. Her wisdom is empecable. We all can learn from her.❤
You mean laren how to spew excuses with the best of them? That was beyond a disgrace. That "apology" was complete BS.
Her team is a bunch of thugs.
@@zachduplechin8352 They take after their coach.
@@chriskay1449 agree 💯
Dawn definitely a class act‼️🙌🏽💪🏾
That wasn't an apology
Coach Staley showed pure class in this interview. She took full responsibility for her players' actions.
Chris Jericho: From now on call me The Ocho!
Dawn Staley: Hold my Gatorade!
Yall will judge people off of a moment 😂 tell us when you lost cool.. oops you won’t put that out there 😂. Stop with your judgements. No one is perfect, people lose their cool, it happens.. extend grace.
Two great coaches. Two great teams. Great game. As a fan of basketball you love to see great competition.
One great coach ... Dawn Staley! Mulkey doesn't possess an inkling of class.
Trying to avoid suspension to her players going in to the tourney. Smart move
Much respect coach Staley
All LSU and South Carolina players that were ejected should be suspended the 1st half of their opening round NCAA Tournament game.
Dawn Staley is the coaching final form.
Yooooo what band 🎶 is playing in the back ground ! Amazing!
Dawn Staley shows just so much class, five playes go to the WNBA and the next year u go undefeated, Coaching my, my, my
I’m not mad at any of the players honestly. They’re still young, barely adults. Flau’jae’s brother and Kim Mulkey on the other hand… despicable. Both LSU 🤔
Coach Staley is the reason I support the Lady Cocks but I have a lot of love and respect for the lady Tigers. That said, ladies we have to be able to control our emotions especially on a platform such as the SEC championship game. But that’s not it. As a society we also need to be better at controlling our emotions. Showing anger has been a trend lately and we need to get away from that before it becomes the norm. I’m guilty of it as well and I need to be better. I will be better. Blessings to all!!
Lol
Oh shut up!
@@carlfoster1952 God bless you.
there's no excuse for lack of discipline period. making comments condoning such behavior from either coach shows why these teams don't deserve to be in the playoffs
So True!!! Love you Dawn. So classy
Classy?
Women sports needs games like this good competition
Dawn Staley ❤💪🏽
I met her she is so chilled.
This is it?? This is a melee?? Oh come on this is a brush up…
The coaches and players from both teams should be ashamed.
Dawn Staley is a class act, I have an enormous amount of respect for her, for accepting responsibility for her players part in this unfortunate act. I commend Kamilla for accepting responsibility and apologizing for her part in the fight. Now on the flipside of that coin, Kim Mulkey is an arrogant, entitled, unapologetic lowlife. Her players were taunting and taking part in dirty play the whole game. Her player started the incident yet as a coach you’re not going to apologize for the part that your players took part in? Then the players themselves that were a part of it are taking the attitude of their coach, the head coach, and not apologize? Classless, then you go on ESPN talking about you’re not afraid of South Carolina yet, you can’t beat them, then you have the audacity to say, we’ll see them again, you hope you see them again, and you should be afraid of them.😡😞😞😞
Coach Staley is a class act. 👏 I'm glad she's on our side! Go Cocks!
8/10. Dawn is tough. Shes a real sports fanatic n great coach I'd say
Coach Dawn.....so much more classy than the Haggard Peacock.
no, she don't have privilege
Well, put Dawn! Congratulations!!
Mulkey should be the one apologizing. It was her player that started it. LSU has NO CLASS.
this didnt sound like an actual apology 🤔
I have so so so much respect for Coach Dawn, she has such CLASS!!!
No one wants her apology they want 10’s apology
Players ought to watch what they do on the court. It can easily spillover off the court. Keep the game clean, and exciting.
Apologies are important, but Dawn Staley had that fire as a player, and a Dawn Staley coached team has that same fire and will not back down. Play tough but stay poised.
What a title fight.LSU made um fight them for it.Outstanding basketball.
"Not who we are, not what we're about"....NOT the first time for this behavior from this team!
Did anybody else see the flashing sign ? 🤨🤨
Dawn Staley aka deuce..one of if not the best point guard to address the court, she better get her flowers..she's pre sue bird and all dem...i'm talking Houston Comets Cynthia Cooper..$alute
No excuses, absolutely no excuses.
Class act... always has been
Classy? 😂😂😂
Dawn Staley is a class act. This is what leadership looks like.
It's called discipline and class as Staley, who IS a class act, da-- well knows.
Not sure how making excuses for her teams thuggish behavior makes her a class act.
Class act Dawn. Have Dawn,Pat Summit and Gino A as 3 of top 5 women’s basketball coaches all time.
Congratulations to Dawn Staley and the South Carolina Gamecocks. Basketball fans understand that these are super competitive, high stake games and sometimes emotions can explode and spill out on the floor among players who can usually keep their all their raw energy and intensity under control. We don’t like to see players being ejected from the game, but we believe coaches and players will learn from this experience and focus their attention on winning games in the upcoming Tourney! You’re a class act Coach Staley!
Watch after the game. Dawn hugs and speaks with Flau Je. Flau Je hugs her hard. Actions speak louder than words.
""that's not we are, and that's not what we're about"...Clearly it IS who you are and it IS what you're about. Actions speak volumes over words.
She should apologize for her thug team's behavior throughout the game, especially the giant bully that attacked the smaller LSU player from behind. She's the hardest look 54 yr old I've ever seen, and it proves that Black can crank when you don't take care of yourself.
This is what a leader sounds like. Kim Mulkey needs to take notes at how to be classy and dignified
Class Act
Now there’s a class act❤
Coach Dawn looking like John Wooden out there
Players reflect Coach, thugs will be thugs, you would NEVER see this behavior from Caitlin Clarke or Iowa...
I am a SC fan, but this is the second time that in the playoffs Cadroza has been in a fight... definitely NOT acceptable.
Nawwww…she had enough…Angel was antagonizing her ALOT..even pulled her hair…i saw it first hand. She’s mild mannered…a big kid at heart…she definitely had enough…..i could see it. It was a good game though!!!!!! Both teams played their hearts out!!!
Stop making excuses that had nothing to do with Angel whatsoever
@@Dinkbowdenstfu … the girl was standing up for her teammate
@@Dinkbowden HA! There are no excuses, and I was not making any. I would ask why there were so few fouls called on both teams late in the game, but in the end, there is absolutely NO call for fighting. It doesn't look good for the team, coach or the University. If players want to go to the next level, then that's a part of their game that they will need to control
@@Dinkbowden HA! I was making NO excuses, not sure why you want to see it that way. I would wonder why so few fouls were called on both teams in the later part of the game?? And truthfully, it's not a good look for the team, Coaching staff or the University to have incidents like this. If players want to go to the next level, then obviously that is a part of the game that they need improvement on.
Thats a leader. She is the best. Coach Dawn Staley well said. Class act.
Classless thug
Dawn is the nick saben of woman’s college basketball
“They choose to do it the right way”. And “No bad intentions”. Laughable !
Dawn Staley's 🔥🔥🔥
Dawn was a player - she didn’t take credit, she credited her players. Beautiful sista!!
Dawn Staley❤ class act through and through!
Saying "class" and "class act" just because i read it in other comments
Love Dawn!🤗🤎
I love this woman....
You Go Dawn❤
I know she won’t get it or even be considered and that alone tells you exactly how she’s thought of as a coach because of the standard she’s set at SC but after losing 6 players ( that’s her starting 5 + 1 )to the wnba and going undefeated the next year really think about that. Probably her best coaching job in all her years she deserves coach of the year.
Howard Cosell would have made the call: "Down goes Flau'jae, down goes Flau'jae!!"
Glad she apologized cause people are watching with there small kids and it’s hard to explain to kids grown folks behavior.your on national tv we should know how to conduct oneself.
Dawn Staley low key loved the scuffle 😂
Respect to Coach Staley
