South Carolina’s Dawn Staley has the Gamecocks on the precipice of a women’s basketball national championship but the team was catching some flak for Friday night’s outing.
Head coach Dawn Staley of the South Carolina Gamecocks talks with her team during a timeout in the third quarter against the Louisville Cardinals during the 2022 NCAA Women's Final Four semifinal game at Target Center on April 01, 2022 in Minneapolis, Minnesota.
"If opposing teams choose to play the anthem during the time we’re in the locker room, then we choose to stay in the locker room," she said. Staley added:"I love our country, too. I don’t like what our country has come to, or what our country has been, but I’d like to think that there are people in our country that’s going to lead us more in a unified way than a divisive way, and I’m here for that.", most teams have stayed in the locker room as well until Louisville came out.
