Daily News | Sorry Temple fans, Dawn Staley is on higher ground chasing history at South Carolina
GREENVILLE, S.C. — Let’s get this out of the way. Dawn Staley, pride of North Philly, is a fairly transcendent figure right now, beyond her own sport, maybe beyond sports entirely.
Virtually every day since Temple’s men’s head coaching job opened, emails or messages come in. Go after Dawn. Bring her back. She once coached Temple’s women, so the school should convince her to make more history by coaching Temple’s men. Yes, Staley talked to the Portland Trail Blazers last year when their job was open. She gets to decide what kind of history she wants to chase.
You see Staley wear Eagles jerseys during South Carolina games, there’s a touch of whimsy to her choices. She actually had a pair of pants that she didn’t have a match for – “OK, cool, this matches up pretty cool.” At the NCAA Tournament, Staley press conferences fill seats. The questions, as always, move around … “Wanted to ask about diversity, 12 of the 16 [Sweet 16] coaches are women … four of the 16 are Black, that’s the most in a decade.”
