Gamecocks Coach Dawn Staley on balancing tough love with encouragement after yesterday’s Sweet 16 scare with Indiana.
“To be considered these players’ second mom is an honor and a privilege.”
Once again, after her required media availability, Coach Dawn Staley taking the time to speak with local media.
“When you treat people good, they treat you better.”
She said that’s her mentality with her players and staff, clearly applies to the media as well.
A fire crew from Guanajuato, Mexico flew in to help us in the Rogue Valley!
We can't thank you guys enough.
It's another example of the sacrifice and care from all of our firefighters during this historic time.
Love watching Head Coach Erik Bakich’s fancy footwork during
@ClemsonBaseball
warm ups.
He keeps the catchers on their toes too.
The Tigers need a Super Regional win over
@GatorsBB
today to force a winner-take-all game 3 tomorrow.
'Hello, this is Coach Dawn Staley.'
The heartwarming message from
@dawnstaley
to a Greenville man after his mom, who was a huge Gamecocks fan, died unexpectedly.
She just took an all-access trip with
@GamecockWBB
and passed away a couple days later.
Cool moment between South Carolina Coach Dawn Staley, Iowa Coach Lisa Bluder, and NCAA all-time leading scorer Caitlin Clark.

They met in last year's Final 4, and could meet in this year's championship.
ESPN's voice of the women's Final Four Ryan Ruocco talks about South Carolina's Dawn Staley and one of the things that makes her an all-time great coach.
"If you see Dawn Staley on the sideline you have to say, 'That's a Final Four team' without even looking at the roster."
Grandson of a WWII Veteran and son of a Vietnam War Veteran Erik Bakich, Head Coach of
@ClemsonBaseball
on Memorial Day.
"The way we stand for the National Anthem is something we practice. It's an opportunity for us to respect that we get to play baseball in a free country."
Raven Johnson said she and Kamilla Cardoso are like bread and butter on the No. 1 Gamecocks.
So I asked Coach Staley what it’s like to have 2 solids veterans to lean on.
As we left the locker room Cardoso cleared up that she’s the butter portion, “I don’t want to be no bread.”
Entertaining reaction from
@ClemsonBaseball
to finding out
@GamecockBasebll
will not be in their regional.
Think they wanted another shot at rival South Carolina?!
“Mom, can we get outta here?!”

3 biggest benefits of this balcony overlooking the stadium they told me:
1. View
2. Free
3. Beer
Not in that order…
Asked Caitlin Clark how she and her teammates deal with this incredible amount of attention.
The NCAA’s all-time leading scorer saying, “we don’t want this to end.”
“It’s just about surviving and advancing and we did that.”
Coach Dawn Staley after her Gamecocks lead shrank from 22 points at the start of the 3rd Q to just 2 points toward the end of the game.
She’s still very proud of this team headed to its 4th straight Elite 8.
I asked kids 4-17 years old what they’ve learned from this year’s champion Gamecocks women’s basketball team.
They gave not only cute, but also insightful answers.

Asked the No. 1 Gamecocks PG Raven Johnson about her "bread & butter" connection with Center Kamilla Cardoso.
Raven explains how their rolls reversed when she knocked down the clutch 3-pointer in the team's Sweet 16 win over Indiana.
@OfficialNBARefs
So it's not the lifting of a pivot foot that's a travel, it's the pivot foot being lifted and returned to the ground? You're telling me I can lift my pivot foot as long as I shoot before the pivot foot I lifted returns to the ground? That doesn't seem right.
The
@ClemsonBaseball
team hasn't reached the College World Series since 2010.
Today, Head Coach Erik Bakich addressed the program's critics.
“The people who bring that up over, and over, and over, and over, and over again, those are called Gamecocks. Those aren’t Clemson fans."
A'ja Wilson on the meaning of becoming the
@LVAces
all-time leading scorer.
"It makes it a full circle moment for me. It's truly special and this is a moment that I'm definitely going to keep in."
The former
