"Good role model"? At what? If you remove the words "black" & "race" from her vocabulary she's couldn't write a children's book. She is a great coach but like Bobby Knight's style / persona, she's not one I'd send anyone's daughter to play for. Tanner won just as many national championships in a lot tougher, competitive sport / league.

That is unfair. We cannot judge her by our standards because she had a different life experience than us. I believe in trying to understand her and not judge over this.

Tanner also took a program that had success for 20 years prior to his arrival. Dawn took over a program that hadnt been successful since the 80's.
