To me Dawn Staley is one of those people that you respect as a coach but not as a person. I don't debate at all that the top 3 coaches right now in WBB are Geno, Dawn and Kim (honestly the only 3 WBB coaches I really know 
) and you could make an argument for any of them to be the best coach in the game currently.
With that said, I don't respect Dawn Staley as a person. If my university is going to sell it's soul in the very least I want it to be for football or men's basketball, not women's basketball.
Dawn Staley is a blatant racist and an ugly person inside. And it's sad she's in a position to pass on that hate to the next generation of women. Unlike MLK Jr., who wanted everyone judged as an individual and by their character, not their race, Dawn most likely teaches her players to see race in literally every aspect of life. She most likely causes her players (intentionally or unintentionally) to be victims and to blame any problem they have on white people, especially white men.
Without making this too political (which is hard any time you mention Dawn Staley), if I had a daughter in college basketball, I would not want her to play under Dawn. I know at the end of the day if it's a full scholarship I wouldn't have much say in the matter, but I would try my best. I wouldn't care how many National Titles she won, I'd spit at her right in the face. I simply have no respect for Dawn as a person.
If I had a daughter playing women's college basketball I'd absolutely steer her to Geno, Kim or pretty much any coach besides Dawn.

and respectfully I think if she was recruiting your daughter, and you were getting to know her as a person and a coach you would walk away with a different view of her. You get the sound bites, and short clips . In reality she cares a lot about all her players, keeping good relationships with them long after they are gone. She keeps stars happy with less playing time by creating a family atmosphere.
I get why she is hated on this board, she isn't conservative..certainly not maga, but she treats individuals with respect
