re: GOAT Dawn Staley Another Sweet 16

Just be happy your team is in the elite 8…..


Of the NIT

quote:

---

Pat was a coach when there were only 1 or 2 good teams where as Dawn has had to go against multiple good teams. There is no comparison.

---

When Pat was coaching, there was no NIL money and she was coaching in Tennessee taking on colleges in states where Women's basketball was much more established.

She coached against players like:

Cheryl Miller
Maya Moore
Diana Taurasi
Sheryl Swoops
Rebecca Lobo
Swin Cash
Jennifer Azzi
Clarissa Davis

Note as well that, Auburn was a powerhouse early in the NCAA years. Their tournament looked like this:
86 - Sweet 16
87 - Elite 8
88 - Runner-Up
89 - Runner-Up
90 - Runner-Up
91 - Elite 8

Vanderbilt wasn't terrible, either:
90 - Sweet 16
91 - Sweet 16
92 - Elite 8
93 - Final Four
94 - Sweet 16
95 - Sweet 16
96 - Elite 8
97 - Sweet 16

Ole Miss didn't suck, either:
85 - Elite 8
86 - Elite 8
87 - Sweet 16
88 - Sweet 16
89 - Elite 8
90 - Sweet 16

The true SEC powerhouse at the time was Georgia:
83 - Final Four
84 - Elite 8
85 - Runner Up
86 - Sweet 16
87 - Sweet 16
88 - Sweet 16
95 - Final Four
96 - Runner-Up
97 - Elite 8
99 - Final Four
00 - Elite 8

Then later on...LSU came on as well:
03 - Elite 8
04 - Final Four
05 - Final Four
06 - Final Four
07 - Final Four
08 - Final Four

I will add that Dawn Staley was a great player, and an OT win in the 1990 Regional Finals over Tennessee is what kept Pat from having 6 straight Final Fours...Staley did win the Most Outstanding Player the following year, when Pat won her 3rd title over Virginia.

Is she REALLY the GOAT???

No. Molly Miller

Kim Mulkey has 4

Lsu riding off of another school's titles. Let me know when Kim beats Dawn as the lsu HC.

not the goat

Nope, not even close to GOAT.

and she is a racist

Of course the SEC is led by the GOAT of the conference Dawn.

---

She can surely recruit and coach. But is it OK if I despise her, none the less?

You can feel anyway you want as long as you respect her greatness

quote:

---

Dawn has more SEC championships than lsu so we at least know Dawn is the best the SEC has to offer

---

Again, I wasn't repping LSU on that one.

Ok, so she may be the best right now, but the GOAT?? Sorry, no.

Geno Auriemma has 12 titles to Dawn's 3. I'd say Geno is the GOAT until she surpasses 12 titles.

If ET and David Hasselhoff had a kid

Very sad how many of you are negative to a woman of color that is a Champion

---

Don't care one iota about her race or gender.

Do care that she would rather protect the feelings of mentally ill men over the women she is supposed to lead.

Hope that helps.
