“What you saw gives Black women hope.”
Those were the words of South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley after her Gamecocks beat Georgia in the Southeastern Conference (SEC) championship game two weeks ago. Georgia is coached by Joni Taylor. Staley and Taylor’s matchup was the first time two Black female head coaches faced each other in a women’s Power 5 conference title game.
That is life in the SEC now, the Power 5’s most diverse conference when it comes to women’s basketball coaches. Yes, the SEC, with its member schools entrenched in America’s Deep South.
