I had a lot of respect for Coach Staley and the SC team until I listened to Dawn Staley’s thinly veiled attack on coach Bluder and the insinuation of racist behavior of Media and fans. Taking an innocent compliment by Coach Bluder about comparing rebounding against SC “like a barroom fight” and twisting it into a racist comment sickens me. This is worse than being a “poor loser” this was an attempt to harm Iowa and it’s reputation and really borders on being malicious. Her players seemed to echo her sentiments complaining of rough Iowa play and bad officiating. Kinda of like what Maryland said about them. This is just ugly behavior and has no place in todays game. I don’t know if this was an attempt to diminish Iowa’s achievement or salvage their pride but it’s sad. Now LSU thinks Iowa disrespected SC by not guarding their shooters. Since when in basketball do we feel sorry for a team for being bad shooters? Tell me what race has to do with shooting 3 pointers? I hope the NCAA or the SEC comes down hard on her, I know they would against coach Bluder if she said such outlandish comments.
