Basketball Hall of Famer and two-time NCAA National Champion as head coach at the University of South Carolina Dawn Staley, sat down with Ryan, Fred and Channing for a rare and candid conversation touching on everything from her Philadelphia-upbringing to the Gamecocks recent run in March’s NCAA Tournament, to media criticisms, to impact on culture and women's sports and also reveals her secret obsession.
One of the most decorated female athletes in women’s basketball, Staley took her passion for the sport and applied her point guard abilities to navigating life and helping young women follow their dreams. Often widely criticized for her outspoken approach, Staley is unapologetic in standing up for her players and the integrity of the game which is what makes her such an inspiration and rarity in coaching.
Staley shares how her passion for sports and competition stems from an early age growing up in North Philadelphia and helped set her on a path toward her wildly successful career. Only a few weeks removed from a tough loss in the final four, Staley is finding focus and peace in moving forward and the success her players are having as women off the court and the people they’ve become.
Channing asks how someone so dedicated has time for themselves and he asks her if there is a personal component to life or what she does for fun…and her guilty pleasure may shock you!

I taught Dawn when she was in 8th grade. She was so smart and get her work done in a class and come find me a P. E. Teacher and challenge me to a one on one. She would beat me every time. Later after she graduated from college she came back and mentored some of my students from Fitsimmons. I am so proud of all she has accomplished.
Dang she beat you 1 on 1? Did you ever win against her? Pretty cool that you helped her along the way. Wish I had a teacher like that growing up. I had some very negative coaches and teachers as a young person. It was very damaging to me. They were bitter and angry adults and didn't want us to succeed. I dont know why I had to go through that, but I'm always happy for people that got to have positive experiences. I'm not surprised when they are successful in life.
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Who’s here in 2024, after she won her NCAA CHAMPIONSHIP 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Me🎉🎉🎉🎉
Yo, yo! Undefeated!! Dope!
Hoping they do a new one!! This interview was great!
Perfect timing, Congrat on da 2024 dub Coach Staley❤💫💯💥
Me
This WOMAN has a heart of Gold!!!! She deserves EVERY good thing that comes her way!!!!!
Love this woman. The power she exudes through such an incredibly humble spirit- while at the same time displaying unapologetic confidence is absolutely amazing.
Dawn attending court cases as a spectator is so hilariously awesome lol. How can you not love this woman. One of a kind, total legend
She’s cool… I like that her thing is STRATEGY ❤BEAST
Something I would do🎉🎉🎉
And 11 months later Dawn Stanley and her team wins the National Championship!!🙌🏽
This was phenomenal. She has revived the Gamecocks over and over. As a SC native THANK YOU!!!
Dawn Staley is the truth because of her Authenticity and she shows people who she is more through her actions than words. Her silence speaks way louder than her voice when she does & I appreciate that so much in her since I’m an extrovert by nature… can’t wait to see what next season brings..
Coach Staley is Philly tough 💪
That quiet or subtle intensity has always been a part of her game. People recognize a real one and she's been that since North Philly.
Shes so legendary. I can hear her speak for hours.
Y’all did it today. The Queen of women’s basketball, Ms Dawn Staley ❤
Kim Mulkey would disagree with that title.
@@DisrespectfullyClassieMarcEBla Queen means more than on court achievements.
@@DisrespectfullyClassieMarcEBla Maybe but this is MY list. She can create her own list, respectfully speaking.
@@kashhh2 MY list, MY qualifications.
@@chocolategirl443 got me there lol
Dawn is a great coach! Her story is inspiring. Salute to the Pivot!
I never comment but I WILL FOR DAWN STALEY! thank you for having her on! I love her more now !
❤❤❤
God doesn't give out gifts and talents according to one's zip code. Dawn Staley has blessed us by using her gifts. I am so very proud of her! The media in Philadelphia should give her more coverage.
They should, but why would they? ..."the world hated ME and so they will hate you.." remember that verse from the greatest story ever told?...The LORD exposes people by their fruits
You are on point with talents and zip code.
Love This...God doesn't give gifts according to Zip codes. She is definitely a Queen..holding her own always. 👏🏽👏🏽
I’ve been a Dawn Staley fan for as long as I can remember! I understand exactly where she’s coming from when it comes to her players and how she wants to protect them. Kudos to Coach Dawn Staley! A fan for life!
My favorite player when she was pro
A great inspiration
Mine too. She has been true to the game since she picked up the ball.
The heart of Coach Staley at 14:05, is the why she is beloved and deserves her flowers now and all of the accolades...much love and respect!
I’m so happy they finally got Coach Staley on the show, one of the Greatest coaches ever AND one of the Greatest Players ever, Pioneer legend, All that ❤️💯🙏🏾 She’s a true 1 of 1
She Truly Is A Players Coach ❤
Dawn really gets it, she really does. Her voice is needed and what she brings to the game is unmatched.
Dawn Staley, really is “WOKE.”
Dawn Staley is one my favorite point guards ever.

You had way too much time on your hand.
The love and support shown during this interview was felt through the screen. I respect the Pivot for allowing Dawn to give her perspective on great topics. 💯
I CAME BACK TO THIS VIDEO IN THE FINAL SECONDS OF SOUTH CAROLINA WINNING THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP. NEARLY A YEAR LATER! CONGRATS DAWN!!!!!
Love Dawn. She definitely avoided and deflected that “significant other” question that Chan asked😂😂😂😂✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾
Deflected because its none of your damn business. Hello
*@glaucoma888.* Nah! It was a very fair question that most athletes or coach who is single gets asked during an interview, especially in that type setting. Who are you kidding? You were hoping for an answer yourself. Lol
She still has it. That was one of the best crossovers I've ever seen avoiding the question.🤣
@@DrHook1 exactly. We all know the answer anyway….it’s just funny how professional she was while deflecting 😂
Had a looonnngg crush on her
I’m glad that I’m finally catching the premier showing of this podcast. I’m a huge Dawn Staley fan… super proud of her as a woman mentor/example to follow!
I have literally been waiting for this interview since the Pivot began! Dawn Staley is truly a legend. She has been a dominant player and now coach! I respect her authenticity and her showing up as herself consistently without bending to pressure of assimilating.
I can't believe I missed this interview, I'm glad they mentioned it recently and I found it. I know y'all don't have a lot of repeat guests but you have to get Coach back ❤
This was a great episode. Gotta love Dawn Staley.
I am so thankful that I had the opportunity to actually meet Coach Staley when she came to a tournament in New Orleans last year. She is so down to earth and did not have an entourage with her, just her SOLO.
I’m a woman that’s never been into basketball really but I’ve always heard about Dawn. She’s a doing great big things. Rooting for sis all the way!
I feel her going to college to get away from people or wanting her own space. I felt that in my spirit!!!!
Coach Staley is THE truth!! She's an ICON and an example for present and future coaches (of all sports) to learn from. Continued blessings, success and happiness💯🏀 P.S Champ is too cute!!
Thank you Brothers, Coach Dawn Staley’s sit down interview was literally outstanding and down to earth genuine. The ancestors are proud of the impact she is making with our young women athletes and the African American community.. May she continue to be blessed…
Man im a 80s baby and when i say I had a huge crush on Dawn 🥰 and she was my fav lady hooper ever. Now she's the best coach out here. Keep doing great things 👍🏾
Dawn is a great coach and person. Her hard work and dedication to basketball is in her dna.
As a North Philly native that grew up in the exact same neighborhood as she it's a fact that we are determined to make it . I've been following Coach Staley since she first came on the scene. I'm very proud of her and it's fantastic to see her rise above the negativity. God bless 🙌 🙏 you Dawn ❤
Coach Staley is one of my biggest inspirations. A chill environment and great conversation. Keep it coming!
Thank you, Pivot Podcast, thank you, Coach Staley. I have been grieving since March 31st, but we all know,in our hearts, who the real National Champions are. South Carolina is #1 and will always be. God bless you all from this 72 year old fam from Georgia.
Great guest and conversation! The Pivot is great show! In Feb 1992, I had the good fortune as an undergrad at UM to watch an historic matchup of UM vs UVA which was played to a sellout game with UVA winning 75-74. Thanks for featuring Dawn; she is not only a great coach but a person who inspires and touches lots of people!
Legendary
I love, love the Pivot. I was a fan of Dawn's as an athlete. However, as she has evolved beyond the role of a player, to coach, advocate, and beyond, I can't get enough of watching her work. She is unapologetically speaking up and raising the next generation of boss women. My God, count them, the number of young ladies she will get to influence and release to the world. As a person who lives in a world with a passion for youth and a desire to make the world better, you bet believe, you move alone, and spend time doing work that seems/feels odd/boring. However, spending time at the trial is indeed way bigger than a hobby/curiosity. To change the game, you got to understand and know all the strategies. I can't wait to see how that trial and others manifest in her mission. I am grateful for the platform you young men have created. Keep doing work!
Been watching Dawn since her college days. A wonderful human being. SC wbb and coach are as authentic as can be. Top tier.
She is the BEST coach for woman’s BB during & after your finished. I’m not bragging, but SO grateful my daughter had the opportunity to play for Dawn and now my daughter has had great opportunities to enter the coaching world and is also her mentor.We had the golden privilege to spend time with her,eat,talk with her & of course pics,!😊 and she has just continued to Go above. I’m SO proud of this woman and the SC program, She’s SO REAL and a great Representation of it all.
The state of South Carolina thanks and salutes Coach Staley for her many contributions to the Gamecocks!!! THANK YOU!!!
Dawn was an incredible player and an even incredible human and connector. She knows how to communicate and get the best out of each player, uniquely and I’m just so happy she was given the incredible opportunity to lead on the highest stage because she deserves it. 🐐
For her to speak the rebuild into fruition is so HARD! Very serious spirit! 💪🏾👑
I really enjoyed this!! I played pickup games with dawn at UVA and had no idea who this girl was playing with the guys!! Emmitt St.Gym!! Now listening and seeing this I am so happy for her and all she helped! Even tho I'm a Tarheel!!
Beautiful Black woman you are Dawn Staley a straight up Legend and I salute you with both hands sis ✊🏿 💪🏿👏🏿
The Pivot need to be an HBO or Showtime program.. the interviews are so fire! and the guest are A1!
I watched Dawn Staley play for Olym teams and WNBA Charlotte Sting. What a terrific player to be so small. Scoring, rebounding, passing. The way she controlled the game. Listening to this interview I found she and I share many personality traits. She said coaching found her. That's good for young blk girls who want to persue basketball as a career path. She is successful in life, will serve as a great mentor for them. With her as coach I feel confident SC will make another run for the championship.
Dawn Staley is amazing every top level female basketball player should definitely want to play for her
Coach Dawn is the best college coach, PERIOD. The majority and the media can't stand it, but...tough.
I moved to the DMV when she was a freshman at Virginia. I've been Blessed to watch her entire career. She is incredibly consistent and a great example for young people, male and female.
North Philly tough as nails, a baller to her bones.
I’m 19 years old, it’s so hard to be a Christian teenager and many teenagers don’t believe in Jesus but i want them to believe in Jesus I’ll pray for them everyday and I’ll keep my faith forever 💗💗🙌🙌
Yes You keep believing ~ Pray for them ~ remember ~ God created you for a Purpose ~ You are Chosen ~ You are Royalty ~ Don't give up on God ~ he will Never give up on You !!
Amen keep your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ no matter what. Stay a leader😊😊😊.
Stay Encouraged...
you are a Christian first and God will go before you always. Pray and ask God to put Christian believers in your life. Trust me He will do it. I am praying for you 🙏🏽
💕🙏🏽
Same here, we just have to keep pressing!!!!
TGBATG, ATH, & ATP, IN JESUS CHRIST WONDERFUL, POWERFUL, MIRACULOUS, INNOCENT, & HOLY NAME.. AMEN🎤⬇🙏👑☝🙌💞✝💪💜🛐🙌💞🙏‼
She was a helluva player and is equally a helluva coach. Keep ballin’ Dawn and keep those girls “playing like boys.”
She was one of my firt childhood crushes. Her olympic run was so pure.
Great interview 🔥🔥🔥 Now she has 3 championships.
I remember seeing Dawn in 1996 Olympics in Atlanta... She still looks the same (Like Fine Wine).
The Pivot continues to set the standard after each interview. Nobody and i mean nobody does it like you boys do it. Dawn was amazing. Another well done!
Dawn has been one of my favorite people for a long time. Her historic run on the USA team to playing in the wnba even seeing her on the TV show Martin as a kid. She’s an incredible women and a great coach.
Yea i saw that episode lol
@@dantheman8152 she broke Martin ankles and he pretended he was hurt because they were loosing 😂
Listen, I'm a 52 year old man, and I'm from Virginia. Dawn was one of my role models, and she is a legend. I would love to see her get an opportunity to coach in the NBA because I believe she would be as successful as she is in college. Once again, the Pivot has delivered!
Awesome coach & woman! Thank you The Pivot ❤
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview! I got chills at the thought of listening to a conversation between Coach Tomlin and Coach Staley!!
Great interview! Super happy for Coach Staley getting her flowers and pushing the game forward ❤
I love the fact they just couldn't stop talking to her that's how u know it was so genuine it was nothing but love
I've always been a Dawn Staley fan and after watching this episode in an even bigger fan. Awesome episode 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great interview! The interviewers did their homework and it showed. Keep on keeping on Dawn😘
Dawn Staley is a great coach and a trailblazer. We look forward to her and South Carolina pivoting to the next level.
my grandaughter got to watch this interview.......this coach is the real deal
Love the questions and the preparation the guys had for her!!! Great job!!! Will always support!!! Again, great interview!!
Awesome interview and perspective. Best of luck coach. Gained a new fan
*FIRST TIME VISITING THIS PLATFORM*
We are so proud of The Pivot Podcast for your professionalism and abilities to ask intelligent questions and having fun. All of you were respectful and I never sensed any animus between the men towards a woman. _You men rock!_
*Ms. Dawn Staley,* _Coach, we love you so much._
I didn’t follow the women’s NCAA until I saw LSU and Iowa last year. I was so proud of Dawn when I learned she was a coach and won the championship UNDEFEATED. Dawn was great when she played. Congratulations Dawn you deserve all your flowers.
The epitome of a true players coach.
For players but black Americans she is exactly what is needed
This is one of the best, I'm a big Dawn Staley fan followed her since her college days. She's not afraid to voice her opinion about racism and officiating and how they was purposely taken out of that Iowa game. She's a living LEGEND 🙏🏿 & shout out to your brother Laurence haven't seen him in a while ❤
@@halomaster9640 she doesn’t have to name names, she literally named the persons job title. Do your own research
@Halomaster96 no one cares about BYU. Please stop varying about it.
Trolls gonna trill
I appreciate Channing trying to ask about her personal life and hobbies… he was respectful with it
Wasn't his business
MAKE IT HAPPEN RC! Get Tomlin & Staley together! I aint got the cash on me but i would donate wahtever i can to just hear both talk about coaching.
She is so humble. What an example, what a woman and what a leader! May God continue to order your steps. ❤🙏
Love that Dawn took responsibility in how they played in the semi final game
Did she tho? Because it sounded to me like the officiating which impacted Boston being benched is what was a huge reason for their loss. That SC wasn’t allowed to play their game. In the press conference she basically implied the Iowa coach made racist comments. Coach Bluder is far from being racist and that was wrong. She set up the Iowa team to appear being racist and that they won because because they’re white. Iowa played hard defense and they worked their ass off to win that game. They shut Boston down and that was the plan and it worked.
@@Vashby78 multiple things can be true. She got out coached, the players got outplayed, the refs were horrible and Iowas coach (and the press) said racist tropes that dehumanized the SC player (“bar fighters” and thugs)… the way the world acted when AR taunting CC is proof of the hypocrisy. Look at what the First Lady did by trying to Iowa a pawn bc she knew who was backing Iowa and why many (not all) of their fans supported them. And the crazy thing is BOTH CC & AR where ok with things bc they know what happens on the court. the players just wanna play. They wanna talk trash (and yes some of it is racist), but they want to play and move on with life. It’s the media that keeps it going after the coaches expose it.
@@Vashby78 Did you listen to the interview at all? She clearly did!
@@atlsuperstar
They ALWAYS hear what they want to hear.
@@atlsuperstar yes I listened to the entire interview. She did take responsibility for the loss and then added her but the officiating, but we couldn’t play our game how we usually do and we were labeled so and so. Coach Bluder said it was going to be a bar fight going into the game. Where I come…which is from Iowa when I think of a bar fight, I think of old drunk people going at it for the stupidest of reasons and defending their name til the end or until the cops show up. Wasn’t a dig at her SC girls, it was a way for her to express how hard the hawks were going to have to defend and fight for their team. What people don’t understand is that teams come from different parts of the country where things have different meanings. It doesn’t make a coach or a state racist. It’s not everyone in the world against people of color for every damn thing.
Thank you, team Pivot!One of the realist interviews!Dawn is an exceptional woman! 🙌🏾
I'm a huge LSU fan and alum. However, I must admit. If I had a daughter that played basketball in high school looking for a college, I'd definitely steer her towards SC and Dawn Staley.
Agreed, heck I’d hire her as a life coach at this point.
Yeah definitely. Coach Staley is a positive, big picture thinker. I'd definitely want my kid being taught by her. Mulkey has a lot of strained relationships in her life with players and family, it makes me think she'd be unfair to a person for no reason or if there is a reason, wouldnt know how to resolve the issue. That's unhealthy and I wouldnt want my kid to be subject to that.
Great Interview…..I had a crush watching her playing for UVA. Still I do have and proud of all her accomplishments.
Feel you on this one had a major crush on her too when she was at UVA...
Man this interview touched on so many things that needed to be addressed especially the officiating in the women’s final four!! But we are truly blessed to have coach Staley at the university of South Carolina!! I hope we get to watch her retire as a Gamecock! RC,FREDDY T, Channing keep this thing going!
Dawn Staley, yessssss!!!! You guys finally got her on the Podcast! 🏆 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 💎 The ending is classic 😂
This interview session was great! I hope y’all interview more women in sports like this. ❤
I loved the MURDOCH TRAIL! It was awesome and the black judge was on his game! Smart, funny, Articulate and just a great human being
I lived in those same projects and a rowhouse was a step up from the high rise building. I experienced both. Gunshots, gangwars too. My family all are homeowners and college graduates. That life can drive you to do better. Congratulations on your third championship Coach Staley. So proud of a Raymond Rosen, Dobbins Tech alumni.
Awesome choice for a guest! Well done! Y’all don’t disappoint. Keep up the good work!
Yes, Philly girl, Dawn!!! Wonderful interview, mad respect!
guys this was the most dynamic interview I've watched from you guys. Dawn spoke her truth and the questions you guys asked allowed her to just speak and not have to worry about the media taking her words and twisting them to fit their narrative. Thanks for an awesome show👌
Love this woman been watching her since Virginia days also philly native like me but I would not be surprised if she coach in nba one day just watch her on sidelines she a REAL coach
WOW!! Keeping it 100 as you lovely gentlemen often say, THIS WAS AN EPIC episode... WOW. I believe you have become my favourite podcast, and includes all colours. Inspiring, informative, emotional, insightful, and just the examples of good people doing good things for other people. Thank you very much indeed gentlemen, you are all epic.
Unapologetically Dawn. And I freaking love it.
So inspired by you Coach Dawn 😊❤ so proud if you

Time to bring the queen back
TELL COACH DAWN HAPPY BIRTHDAY. MAY BABIES ARE THE BEST
Super dope! Thanks for the intelligent questions and respectful approach. I’m a new fan!
That's a great point about letting the officials speak up and the coaches speak about them more. I never thought about it Coach Staley really sees the game differently
I was waiting on Channing to ask about her playing on the episode of Martin 🤣🤣
He didn’t know she was on there😅
I’m not a fan of any sport but I truly admire and respect Coach Staley. She initiates curiosity for the game as a fan and I can only imagine the determination that her coaching style triggers in her players. Congratulations to her, from a fan, from one black woman to another, she’s the real MVP👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Great episode! Thank you for looking out for the officials Coach Staley!
