The Philadelphia 76ers recently faced a tough challenge in their series against the New York Knicks, but they received valuable support from North Philly native and former Temple University women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley. On Sunday, Staley was seen at the Sixers game in South Philly wearing an Allen Iverson T-shirt and stopped by Mitchell & Ness before the game to ensure she looked stylish while courtside.
Despite being a national championship-winning coach, Staley showed her excitement and enthusiasm during the game as she was mic’d up by the Sixers. Her actions demonstrated that even successful coaches like herself are just like any other fan when it comes to supporting their favorite teams. Following her third NCAA Women’s Basketball Championship win with the South Carolina Gamecocks, Staley took some time to reflect on her success and discuss the current state of women’s basketball.
In a recent interview with Ukee Washington, Jessica Kartalija, and Sports Director Don Bell, Staley shared her thoughts on her latest victory and how much she values women’s basketball. Jessica MacAulay, a digital producer for CBSPhiladelphia.com, also highlighted Staley’s accomplishments and emphasized her continued dedication to the sport.
