Dawn Staley Shatters Records: Becomes First Woman College Coach to Win Naismith Award

 

In an unprecedented achievement, Dawn Staley has made history by becoming the first woman college coach ever to win the prestigious Naismith College Coach of the Year Award. This landmark moment for Staley comes after leading the South Carolina Gamecocks to yet another national championship in 2024, her third title in seven years, following championships in 2017 and 2022.

 

Staley’s impact on the game extends far beyond her coaching accolades. She has solidified her place among the greatest to ever coach in collegiate sports, with three national championships and ten gold medals to her name as a coach and player. Her achievements have also included one WNBA championship, three Olympic gold medals, and an incredible track record as the NCAA’s all-time leader in steals, showcasing her legacy as both a player and a coach.

 

But the significance of this Naismith Award victory is much more than just another accolade for Staley—it represents a monumental shift in the landscape of collegiate sports. As the first female coach to win the prestigious honor, Staley’s achievement is a beacon for women in sports, breaking down barriers and setting new standards for excellence in the field. Her leadership has not only propelled the Gamecocks to national prominence but also served as an inspiration to young women and athletes across the globe.

 

“It’s not just about me,” Staley said after receiving the award. “This is for every woman who dreams of coaching at the highest level. It’s for those who’ve been told no, who’ve been overlooked. This award is for them.”

 

Staley’s influence transcends the basketball court, serving as a role model, mentor, and trailblazer for women in sports. Her success with South Carolina, paired with her vast impact on the next generation, marks this Naismith honor as a milestone moment not only for Staley but for the entire world of collegiate sports.

Sabbath formed the year I was born, first song I learned on guitar was Sweet L3af, saw Ozzy in ‘82 just after the plane crash, countless Ozfest’s, 1998 reunion show, etc etc….. I’ve seen a lot of fans talking about what band was uninvited, or who didn’t live up to the hype, or which band shouldn’t have been there… I watched the entire show and, for me, the lifetime soundtrack was as touching and meaningful as a McCartney concert…
