'Watch what you say:' Dawn Staley says journalist overheard disparaging Gamecocks

During a postgame press conference after the Final Four, Dawn Staley addressed the media saying a journalist was overheard speaking ill of her team.

That is a life lesson. If you don’t have anything good to say about anyone keep it to yourself.

No weapon formed against us will prosper!
Congratulations Coach Staley and the Lady Gamecocks on your win today!

Sometimes, when people want to speak using coded language, real words come out and are heard. Those reporters know who they are.

Coach Staley continues to be a paragon of excellence and class. Thanx for standing up for these young ladies year in and year out.

Every media person who was at that event Coach was referring to: 👁️👄👁️

[colettekeel]

Well done, and NEVER EVER LET ANYONE CHANGE YOU. Your team was amazing. To God Be The Glory.

I can’t believe we still have to deal with this hurtful crap in 2023. You can critique a game but stay away from a person’s color. Well said, Coach.

She is PISSED. Loved how she stood up for her team though.

I remember Tennessee being a very physical team back in the day. Pat Summitt was absolutely loved by the media as well.

Coach Staley said what she had to say with so much class. It's unfortunate that these ladies have to be exposed to this negativity. The universe has eyes and & ears! 👀👀👀👂🏾👂🏾👂🏾 "Be careful what you say." Much respect Coach Staley!! ❤❤❤

I can not believe the amount of bull that these women have been going through during this tournament 😪

Good for Coach Staley and Coach Mulkey for calling out this racist and sexist bullshit!

[tymbreturner]

Love me some SC Gamecocks and Dawn Staley, She does not mix words, You ask her a question and you got an answer!!!

[financialfreedom]

Looks like Dawn wasn't wrong after all. Look what the sports news is talking about the morning. She said what she said it is 💯 % true. People get embarrassed when truth is spoken.

Say what you want about this coach her players are great!! Especially Boston, she is an exemplary human being. Humble and genuine.

[ambrosemilner]

Proud of Dawn! Philly finest!!! She speaks from the heart and she is the real
