Virginia fires women's basketball coach

[SC95]

Virginia fires women's basketball coach. Will Cavaliers attempt to hire Staley, again.

Not a chance. Like most schools, they don't care enough about women's basketball to spend the amount of money it would take to outbid us.

I haven’t talked to CDS but I’d be curious if she might want to go back to Philadelphia vs middle of nowhere Charlottesville. (After she has 10 nor more national championships at USC.)

She left Philly to come to Carolina. I don’t think she’d leave right now, but I’d be more worried about Virginia than any other job….Alma Mater.

Virginia would absolutely get Dawn if she was interested. She's actually good friends with the current AD. But Virginia burnt that bridge when they didn't even extend an offer to her when they were last looking for a coach from the previous AD. Dawn has expressed that she considers South Carolina home now and while anything is possible I don't see her leaving USC for another college coaching job.

Well that's always a given, but I don't see it happening with Ray Turner they seem to get along well. Perhaps a future AD could be a problem though.

I never thought she'd consider leaving until Ray didn't really back her up on the crap with Mizzoo. Dawn sued them on her own. I bet Dawn was pretty damn pissed off.

If memory serves me correctly(always a crap shoot) RT was very supportive it was the conference that turned a deaf ear to DS. Within less than 24 hrs AFTER she filed the SEC suspended Sterk.

This is 100% correct. Dawn said on social media that Ray had been very supportive. Just because he didn't rant in public doesn't mean he didn't stand up for her. Both Ray and Sterk were peers so not alot of leverage between the two. Sankey does have leverage and should have never allowed allegations to be made in public about other coaches or programs within the SEC. All of that could have be avoided if he had reeled Sterk in and made him issue a public apology. He's usually on top of things but this one he blew badly.

How is that even a question? UVA made the best run they will ever make at her. Meanwhile she has a roster with 11 McDonalds All Americans and just built her dream house in Columbia.

What?

That’s the beauty of having a ad who is a former coach…….they know what it’s like to walk in the same shoes
