Kim Mulkey.

I love how Dawn always gives props to opposing players. She really loves young basketballers and it's cool. And generous.
Yes and what was it, we are the thugs and monkeys
I want to say how incredible Milaysia Fulwiley played!! What a star...im sorry any scuffle rained on your parade!! Definitely MVP !!
Thank you coach Dawn for keeping it classy and taking responsibility for players behavior instead of making weird comments that fuel the fire. The better team won, period! Congrats🎉🎉🎉
I love Dawn's interviews....she always tells the truth good or bad about her team. She keeps it real and I like how she said that about Flaujae coming to her....so that she can kill any negative narrative on LSU or their players.
Lol
Okay
That's true
no negative narrative at all. The fact that an 20 year old did what Dawn should have had the dignity and class to do says a lot.
@@haljuban1839 what? I'm not sure I understand your comment. Please explain, what exactly did Dawn NOT do?
It’s nice to see how Dawn speaks with maturity, takes responsibility for her team’s side and doesn’t put anyone down 👑
Like the other coach
@@bd-im5idno the other coach blamed the refs and never said anything about her players reaction that started the altercation.
@@bd-im5idyou wish! Dawn is class act!
@lilcal34 exactly and talked bad about a player on the opposite team.
Exactly
Coach Staley better win Coach of the year she lost her starting 5 to the WNBA and she comes back this year and goes undefeated in the regular season and beat the defending Champs twice. Simply amazing
Got That Right!!!
Absolutely! She has earned national COTY.
She literally got all the awards! Very well deserved. Glad the voters recognized she deserved them!!
COACH STALEY TOOK RESPONSIBILITY FOR HER TEAM ACTIONS!! WELL DONE
These are college kids, we have to extend grace to them. Their brains aren’t even fully developed yet. Overall, it was a great basketball game and shouldn’t be overshadowed by some pushing and shoving, that’s sports. Dawn handled the situation very professionally and actually took responsibility for her team’s part. There’s a reason her team is undefeated.
Yes God loves humbleness. He loves to see us put him first in everything we do. He shows his appreciation in this manner. Win win win🧡🧡
😂
After hearing Mulkey's ignorant statement that she wished Cardoso would have pushed Angel Reese it's a breath of fresh air to listen to a classy coach like Dawn Staley.
Tbr why who she say that? I felt so bad. Flau pushed Ashley watkins den kardoso pushed her. But the way Kim said it like Kardoso scared of Angel smt .
Amen!
If Reese had done what Johnson did, she likely WOULD have pushed Reese. It's not like she targeted Johnson because she was smaller. Mulkey is an idiot.
Absolutely! Players mimic their coaches behaviors so….
What if someone pushed your baby..real talk. All Mulkey was saying was pick on someone your own size period!
The refs should have put a stop to it at the beginning! The escalation would have not been this big.
thats like blaming cops for letting lil shit slide....stfu and let the sport play, this was NOTHING even close to foghting
LSU usual suspects do it every game they play. (Reese and Flaujae) They met a team that didn't back down.
Also the ref allow the players to taunt each other to much.When they made a basket they flexing and screaming in the opponent face.That just add more emotion to a game thats already intense.Your thoughts please
@@Native5some one forgot Williams too
@@samueljohnson2785I agree
Dawn is the lawyer !!! “I’ll answer that !! “. Why would you ask Fulwiley what happen?
If the coach wanted to answer for our players, She has every right to 🤷
🤣right 💯
Fulwiley does her talking with the ball. She balled out Sunday.
She plead the 5th. No comment. You saw it, how come ask?
He wanted a headline, that's why he asked her. The young one. Was hoping she'd slip up in her statement somehow.
This is how a real coach responds! That’s all that’s it!!
I just love Dawn. Never high, never low, always even. If I had a daughter who was blessed with talent to be recruited by SC, you best believe I would do everything in my power to convince her to play for Dawn. Even if she never started a game or played more than 10 minutes per contest, what she would learn about life from Dawn would be so much more than basketball could ever give her. What a fantastic player Dawn was in her time, a fantastic coach today, and fantastic ambassador for the women's game.
I love her professionalism. She is such an amazing coach and person. Thank you for how you handled today. The young women need to see your example. Continue to represent the African American community with pride and dignity. Means so much
Means so much
It’s actually pronounced Native American now
professionalism lold don't use words you can not define.
Coach Staley took accountability for her players actions and commended Flaujunae. Didn't hear Coach Mulkey take any responsibility or remorse. That's why I respect Coach Staley and what she stands for. Coach Mulkey doesn't come close to her in my opinion!
I was thinking the same . Lsu coach comments were wild just like her outfits
Thank you and then gone say they ain't scared 😂...and south carolina ain't either tf
Yes! Classy vs Trashy!
Rings say differently
4>2
I agree. Compare:
MULKEY: "It's ugly, it's not good, no one wants to be a part of that, no one wants to see that ugliness" she said. "But I'll tell you this, I wish she would've pushed Angel Reese. If you're 6-8 [6-7], don't push somebody that little. That was uncalled for in my opinion. Let those two girls who were jawing, let them go at it."
STALEY: "I just want to apologize to the basketball community. You know when you're playing in championship games like this in our league, things get heated... I want to apologize for us playing a part in that, that's not who we are, that's not what we're about."
This interview from the SC coach is in stark contrast to the LSU coach.
We comin’
@tiguhhhh5415 is coming for what another beat down. 16-0. Lsu won't make it to the elite 8
Why is there a need to compare. Let each person have their perspective and opinion. I love the contrast
@@taylortait4565 Pretty Much.
LSU player was assaulted that's why unacceptable
COACH DAWN STALEY = CLASS, CLASS, CLASS!! We are so fortunate to have her leadership and character at the helm, win or lose!
Dawn is such a class act.
Dawn is top tier! The way she gave the other players love despite the negative moment is a display of a great leader. She took accountability and chose not to throw anyone under the bus. Well Done! I'm a Dawn Staley fan!!!!
When a game gets chippy or starting to get out of hand it’s the refs job to get it under control.. If they were calling fouls like they should have this might not have gotten to this point..Kudos to big 4 for apologizing.. stand up move..
This was definitely different than Mulkey’s press conference 😂
Coach Mulkey is very unprofessional and her players unfortunately follow her lead!
@@luvlee344exactly right
I loved Mulkey press conference. It was raw and real. You’d be a little pissed too if your opponent did that bush league crap and weakened your team with those players getting kicked out.
@MisterFridayOMG I guess Cardoso busted her own lip?
@@MisterFridayOMGSooooo…you’re saying LSU played with Grace the whole game???? 🤔
Kim Mulkey this is what we call CLASS take notes💯💯💯
I agree. I think Dawn have respect for Mulkey for protecting Blk women.
This is how a coach should hold a presser.... not like the opposite side who is bitter and arrogant. I salute you.... Gamecocks Women's Basketball team..... Congratulations.....
Jealous is another words and she knows that last years championship don’t belong to them
Staley is a thug, with a cocky attipude. The Gamecoks will be knocked put just like last year, because the SEC is weak, and they are not pushed.
F out of here ..assaulting a player is unacceptable period
Bitter and arrogant Reese got a sprung leg ,morrow 2 black eyes ... Makayla feet messed up... Poa out with a concussion.
And they still balled out ... SC ran 10 fresh players at 100 percent capacity while LSU was at 80 percent
🤣🤣🤣@@wesleyquan6581 🤣🤣🤣
Dawn is so classy! Gotta love her
I love Dawn’s chemistry with her players. The “I just be hooping” comment and that chuckle 😂
This is how a coach should conduct an interview, very classy. Unlike the other team coach. Great job Coach Staley.
Refs needed to call fouls on both teams and didn't do that from the beginning of the game
Equally the same on both side, our bigs sit the bench but not theirs one even wasn’t rejected for starting the incident and punching Ashlyn Watkins
Facts lucky
Exactly the refs were absolutely trash
I am so impressed by the grace, poise, maturity, and class shown by Dawn Staley here. Especially in contrast to how Mulkey handled it. Seriously…what a fantastic coach!
Please change the title to this, there was no fight. No one exchanged
Punches for the record. Some one was pushed after they saw someone push another player and that was all.
SC is ranked #1, and their bench should be ranked #2.
Facts!
That bench run deep
Lol
While I can't justify Kamilla's push, I think she saw what I saw- that Flau-je elbowed Watkins in the throat. Did anyone else see that?
The respect Dawns players have for her is so impressive! Malaysia knew to defer to her for any questions about the scuffle. And you can hear Dawn's influence in the way they communicate.
All I'm going to say is if coach Dawn would've said what those to Classless coaches said LSU/Iowa we would've heard about it until the season was over.Dawn is a coach and also a role model🙏🏾
💯
I love how she said “I’d just be out there hooping…”
Congratulations to the South Carolina ladies Gamecocks! Thank you Coach Daley for being a great person, leader, and coach! Both teams have really great coaches and players! These young players are operating under a lot of pressure! Back to back games though out the tournament! This game was very physical today! The officials should have called the game tighter! These players are a family! These girls are very good players with high character! They will all be better after this situation. The SEC is very talented!!! Team Jesus!!!
Dawn is a very charming and diplomatic individual.
Coach Dawn Staley is such a professional, honest, and classy person!!!🏀❤️❤️🏀
Cardosos reaction was NOT warranted but congrats to Dawn and her team!
AR's mugging of Cardosa throughout the game was not warranted either but two wrongs don't make a right.
@@gravelymccravy9861 that has nothing to do with this situation…
When you look at the interviews of both coaches, you can see attitudes reflect leadership.
But to push another player like Cardosa did big 4 is crazy…players bump players in frustration at times so I didn’t see an issue with that during the game. But to extend both your arms and knock a player off of their feet is crazy…and SC fans acting like that didn’t happen is really wild
@mojo_phee so when 4 pushed Watkins, when 4 intentionally foul lay, gtfoh with that nonsense..... 4 knows what she did wasn't right, that's why she's apologizing while her coachbisbtrying to stoke fights between other players and family members coming out the stands.... pure garbage, the whole side
@@mojo_pheecoach Staley did not condone her players’ behaviors. She took accountability and apologized. My comment was not about the incident but the response. Think about it… Coach Kim said that, without thinking because that had occurred Reese would have been DQ’d too.
The difference in Dawn and Kim’s responses is ASTOUNDING. Dawn taking accountability for her players’ actions, acknowledging LSU’s role in the incident too, and tying it all together with speaking about her conversation with Flaujae and making sure she defends her character as a person ..that is class on a whole ‘nother level. I’ve never really had an opinion about Kim mulkey one way or the other. I just knew she was a very successful coach in the sport . But something about her press conference rubbed me the wrong way and almost seemed bigoted. It kind of reminded of me of listening to a politician that I don’t like. Idk.
If the refs would have been calling fouls the right way from the beginning this would’ve never happened. Hopefully the SEC will take that into consideration when they choose refs.
Young people learn by example. Thank you Coach Staley for stepping up and taking accountability for what happened at the end of this game. Sadly, Coach Mulkey couldn't seem to find those words and instead of taking responsibility, she appeared to make excuses and point fingers. Teach by example!
All of can say is Coach Staley is amazing. She dont cut corners and she is all about right is right and wrong is wrong. And doesnt mind giving credit to other teams players. I will say that Kim Mulkey needs training from Coach Staley because her attitude is a reflection of her team.
I agree somewhat. I think you mean Mulkey’s team is a reflection of HER bad attitude. Leadership starts at the top.
Dawn Staley is a damned national treasure.
I love these new comers in the interviews they catch them with these question and they just look at each other😂😂❤
What a world of difference between the two coaches and their responses. The refs absolutely let this get out of hand but the two coaches couldn't be more different in how they handle this. Staley with class. Mulkey, on the other hand...
Oh plz Dawn couldn’t even look Catlyn Clarke in her eyes at a recent function!
@@MrMakeItHappen1 Caitlin Clark
@@jaygremillion Thank you. Google helps 😂
Compare the tone of this presser to Mulkey's & Reese"s
Unlike LSU this interview showed poise, respect and maturity for the game.
Indeed!
Two different coaches and styles one has class one doesn't, class always comes up front and center let's go lady gamecock
Flau’Jae, a smart Player, sparked the brawl, abused Kamilla throughout the game, ( it was either she or Angel that busted Kamilla in the mouth), she absorbed the push down by Kamilla, outwitted the Ref’s and subsequently got away with everything she did Scott-free!
She didn’t spark it the player she shoved didn’t overreact she took it and was heading to the bench fired up. The push by Kamilla was unnecessary after the altercation with Flaujae and the other player nothing was going to happen both teams was going to the benches. Stop it the whole game was physical both team was chirping back and forth
@@cordairotucker6005 I have film. Very clear evidence, Bozo.
Pretty Much.
LSU is not entirely innocent in the abuse category….I’m loving watching these SEC playoffs…great basketball !!!!
Class act Staley!
Dawn is so classy, that's why she's my favorite coach of all. I have nothing but love, coach.
Way to go Coach Staley ...unlike Coach Milkey talking about how about Cardoso wouldn't have hit Angel Reese...Angel Reese didn't push Cardoso's teammate so we'll never know. But I guarantee you she would'nt hesitate 😂
Much different than Kim’s presser….
Kim tried to go at Cardoso and dared her to push Reece.
Reece isn’t a fighter either.
She just talks and is a good player and Leader
FJ got pushed AND flopped….
That’s why she didn’t go crazy😂
nah dont leave out flaujae pushing players too. She pushed & got pushed back
@@MrKickass1988she pushed and got pushed back so there was no need for Kamilla to push her again.
All Kim said was pick on someone your own size. She said let the two that were jawing do their thing. If Kamilla hadn't done what she did it wouldn't have been any of this. And I still love both teams.
@@mrsrogers569you gotta nip the problem at the start , and that’s the intentional foul . 4 shoulda played defense but was tired and took the easier route. She was very frustrated at this point. She couldn’t take them celebrating or any banter but they do it all the time on lsu. They stand over players and taunt them all the time .
I’m happy about the win!!! Congratulations to Coach Staley, the coaching staff and players for not giving up and playing hard till the end!!! Congratulations to Lay for the SEC MVP Award!!! 🏀🏆🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎈🎉🎊🎈
Well Done Coach.
Respect!
The part that I know, for a fact is, I am sure that Dawn has spoken to many of those kids on LSU not just about basketball, but about their business and handling stuff which is why Miss Johnson went up to Dawn after the game and said what she said we know that Dawn talk to Miss Cardozo about it. Dawn is a central piece and she has the ear of many of these young ladies and I’m sure she’s talking to them about their business and how they’re handling things not sure how you don’t like Dawn
I just wish these 2 teams could play a best out of 7.....this is the best rivalry since the 90s!!!
SC is 16-0..... so it might need to be best of 33.....or not
lsu is not a rival to South Carolina.
@MrKickass1988 They are This season. Two good competitive teams that fight every time they play is rival, even if it's only for a short time.
@@Drizzle8481 😂
@@mannied6395 the record the past ten years between these two say it's not a rival at all but I do know what you mean and understand why you said that. Kim Mulkey just got to LSU not too long ago, so I expect tough games moving forward.
Dawn was an excellent player 🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾and Now an excellent coach 🥰👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾big ups Dawn🥰❤️🖤💚
Angel the hair puller!
Good for Dawn. Classy answer
Great job, Coach Staley, for stepping up and taking that difficult question from a TEENAGER. A reporter should be more professional than to ask a kid that type of question.
He obviously didn't care. He wanted a "scoop!" And was hoping the young one slipped up in her response smh
Congratulations lady Gamecocks! Congrats Coach Dawn Staley, staff and the University of South Carolina!
Finally we see class. Dawn is the best for sure.
We had it rather she had it for long time, just wake up any smell the coffee
Coach Staley is my favorite coach.
Some of y’all have to understand these girls are like family they tell us this day in and day out. Kamilla seeing her sister get pushed down after all the other pushing and pulling was probably her “13th” reason . Now i’m not saying it’s ok, ofc it could’ve and should’ve been handle better but we’re all humans with emotions.
I love Coach Staley! However, Kamilla didn't see her sister get pushed down? Flau'jae moved her out of her space/face and walked away...where did you see that at?
@taylortait4565 exactly. I love both teams, but Kamilla pushing her down is what caused all that and it was totally unnecessary.
@@taylortait4565 i fumbled my wording right there a lil but push or pushed down what’s the difference really like dawn said they’re protectors
Staley is realistic, down to earth and objective.
Dawn Staley is a stellar and classy coach. Kim Mulkey should take notes.
Coach Staley 🐐
CLASS!!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Listening to her and then Listening to the LSU coach...now thats how you do an interview after all that..
What a great answer
LSU WOMEN PLAY GOOD BASKETBALL. COCKINESS IS GREAT, AND NEEDED. BUT PLAYING (BULLY BALL) AND TALKING CRAP. CAN BE THOUGHT OF AS POOR SPORTSMANSHIP. OTHER FOLKS APPEAR TO HAVE GOTTEN FED-UP. LSU RECEIVED WHAT THEY'VE BEEN DISHING OUT.
I love this team and this coach congratulations we got one more y’all Let’s go!! ❤
Flo Johnson started the whole thing
Ashlyn screaming in her face started it
Well sweetie if you listened to Staley, she said that Flau’jae went up to her and apologized. Yes Flau’jae started it but it wasn’t with ill intentions…..during these games, it does get intense and sometimes emotions boil up. Shoves, pushing, and trash talk is expected and normal in these games. In that moment Flau’jae shoved that girl but it wasn’t with bad intentions she was just upset, and needed to blow off steam…Kamilla on the other hand did not need to push Flau’jae that hard, and she did that way after Flau’jae pushed the other girl, and she did it intentionally.
She had to foul , they had one to give. Watkins came in with lip. Still 1 on 1. Cordosa started it.
@@tiamarrow6366its crazy like she shoved a player during brazil trying to qualify for the olympics and ended up costing the game and no longer qualify. Its sad seeing just yesterday whats she did for her team buzzer beater to allow her emotions get the best of her and tarnish overnight what she did yesterday.
@@shea5287LSU does it all game. If you even watched the game. Flaujae was in #23 face. They played a team that didn't back down face it.
Congrats to South Carolina.... unfortunate ending but I'm still wondering how Cardoso ended up with a bloody mouth... did the refs miss something?
Reese backhanded her in the face.
@jwthompson9571 That’s the part that a lot of people refuse to acknowledge
Exactly. It wasn't the way to handle it but, in a situation where you've taken it throughout the game... the hair yanking, the tech foul for the intentional backhand to the face in the first half, the second backhand that went uncalled and was the busted lip... Sometimes people react understandably. Bad on her part for sure but understandable in the heat of the moment. Plus, I think the pushing on the "baby" of the bunch escalated it in her. And I agree with another commenter... Yeah, it was bad but there have been far worse altercations. This was a player shoving another player. It's not like a melee or brawl.
What Dawn really meant to say on that last question is that this team is really with the s××t don't get it twisted. 😂😂😂.
You caught that subtext too? 😂
@@brandiknight2851 👍 😆
After listening to Both Post Game Comments from Each Coach…
Which one would you prefer Your Child be Coached by???
Coach Staley or Coach Mulkey😊
Obvious Answer to Me!!!
Dawn such great coach. She show them love and they show each other love. Great team family!
Pure Class. Better Than The LSU Coach. Pure Classless Comments.
Coach Dawn Staley is so dope!😘👏🏾
Such a class act. Down to earth and straightforward.
Very humble in the win , that’s good coaching tight there.
People complain that you are messing with the lineup They complain, how this one didn't start, and that one didn't start. This was the moment that shows why she is doing that. Preparation for any situation. When the bench players get a chance to start, it does wonders for their confidence, and knowing how to grind out wins. When the starters are not there, the bench can complete the job against the opposing starters for a win.
Exactly! Coach Staley is a Hall of Fame Coach for a reason. She knows what she’s doing.
The difference in a coach and a garbage coach like Kim Mulkey provoking fights is awful.
Been riding with dawn staley since her Swoops Leslie Holyfield lacy and so on remember them all on Martin DOPE
Mrs Stanley you are an excellent coach!!!
What a class act of a coach.
On one hand, Ms Cardoso should have pushed Ms Reese because She's the one that accosted Her several times during the game; Yet, on the other hand, It was Ms Johnson who created/started the game interrupting situation that received the push of frustrations that had been building up by Ms Cardoso throughout the game. I agree that the game Referees should taken better Control of the game Early-on and Set a better atmosphere for Fair Play. Finally; I Do Not Condone the Actions of Anyone for the Disruptive Incident that Stopped The Game. Peace...
Congratulations to Coach and players. Kudos to Coach for speaking to the player on the LSU. Kudos to Coach for taking ownership for the role your team played in scuffle. Its happens and this one incident should not be held against either team. If anything it should show how passion the ladies are about playing and winning the chip.
What an example of a girls basketball team, COACH!!!! I respected her before, but now I hold a higher level of respect for her. She is classy as one should be. She holds herself accountable,as she should have. I hear love as she speaks for her players. As for Cardoso, we all have done things that we regretted , the very secret it was done. Do not judge her for today before you go and watch other interviews of her. She may be 6,7”, but her smile and heart is much much more than what we saw today.
If there is a person walking on this earth, that has never made a mistake, I would love to meet them. We are not GOD, we all make mistakes!!!! Congratulations on the SEC CHAMPIONSHIP!!!
Well said.
I love Coach Staley! She's always been a class act!
The responses of the 2 team players reflect the coaches' attitudes! These young women are calm and refocused. On the other hand, LSU act like they are ready to continue the chaos by saying they're not scared!!! Clearly the way Kim and Dawn nurture their teams are totally opposite! Thank you, Dawn for teaching young women how to grow to be professional women! ❤
Class act!!!!
As she should as a Queen. Leader and captain of they ship
Gotta havethe squad righr in many ways. To meet success 💪🏾💜
I am glad I saw the BIG 10 tournament final game.
Congratulations great game and teamwork ❤❤❤❤❤
Will SC Athletics take any action against Cardosa? This is not her first time to do this.
Great job coach
