The University of South Carolina did the right thing when they rewarded women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley a contract extension. Staley will receive a three-year extension that will keep her happy until around the 2018-19 season. She will also get a 125,000 dollar raise and now is in that 850k range which makes her one of the highest paid coaches in the SEC.
This was the right move for USC as she is a great coach and has built a solid foundation for success. Staley has led the Gamecocks to the NCAA Tournament in each of the past two seasons and help to bring exposure to a emerging program.
In our humble opinion, she is worth every penny. Good job, Ray Tanner. Now Dawn just keep climbing to the top as you are making us Gamecock fans proud.
