• 00:00 - 00:30 [Music]
• 00:30 - 01:00 okay So Don Staley got out
• 01:00 - 01:30 coached again and she's overrated obviously You know when she faces great coach and she's going up against great coach and she normally falls short Um even though in a lot of these games where she's being our coach she just has superior talent and that sort of pushes her over the top or you know we're dealing with certain biases
• 01:30 - 02:00 and um certain agendas that help propel her team at times But you know listen facing Gino two times this year she got completely out coached She got out coached against Cory Close in that first matchup So let me tell you she made no adjustments and she essentially gave up She told Holly Ro that Holly Ro was like "So what are you going to do to try to get these players to score more points?" She said "I don't know That's not what
• 02:00 - 02:30 the answer you're supposed to give a nationally uh televised audience tuning in like that That's not the answer You're supposed to have something to say." And she didn't have anything to say And you know me watching the game was that what I saw was she just there was no complexity And with Yukon you got to run three different screens at the same time simultaneously If you're not going to run three screens simultaneously combo
• 02:30 - 03:00 screens then what you're supposed to do is at least run two And you would like to do them off of pick and rolls And so what I looked what I saw was that she had no screens running simultaneously So off of a pick and roll she should have been running ver screens She could have been running double stagger screens She could have also been running at the same time she could have been running players off of UCLA screens cutting
• 03:00 - 03:30 Okay none of these things happen What that does it slows down Yukon and it makes their it makes them really second guess everything It slows them down It's very complicated and it always leaves someone open So off of a pick and roll the screener could then set up a flare screen Okay And in the back court in the paint area you can have a cutter coming from the corner cutting into what a UCLA screen Okay all
• 03:30 - 04:00 of like this is is so simple me watching this game and I'm like why isn't Don Staley running three screens all at the same time simultaneously running three screens and that's not what she was doing So and I'm just listen that this is me talking about three screens At no point in time was Don Staley running combo screens right at no point in time it was all really simple It was some light go screening very light go
• 04:00 - 04:30 screening Nothing really was going on Players to me personally wasn't they weren't cutting hard enough So when you say out coaching it's more than just the X's and O's It it's dealing with preparation and she learned nothing from her first matchup with Yukon So if you listen to any one of these Gamecock fans or fam whatever if they're telling you that oh you know uh she did a a great job job coaching She did a masterful job coaching considering this consider No
• 04:30 - 05:00 she didn't You're supposed to grow and learn from your first beatdown And she didn't grow and learn from her first beatdown It actually looked worse Today these players look more apathetic and complacent than they did in the first matchup Don Stady looked more flumxed more perplexed more in over her head than she looked in the first matchup when they got destroyed Okay so you're looking for adjustment You're looking for improvement You're looking for better preparation And we didn't see any
• 05:00 - 05:30 of that Now for you Don Staley apologist enablers by saying "Well she's not out there shooting the shots She can't she can't make those shots for those player but she can provide those players with more wide openen opportunities with easier shots She can provide those players with a better game plan to slow down Yukon's defense to make it extremely difficult for them to defend South Carolina And what she didn't do was run multiple screens simultaneously Run multiple screens
• 05:30 - 06:00 simultaneously And that's what she didn't do Normally you'll see teams do that At least the teams who have great elite coaching when they're facing a team like Yukon great defense great effort a team like Texas you'll see them running three screens at the same time And a lot of times it's anchored It's all off of a pick and roll So pick and roll into a double stagger or a pick and roll into a flare screen right and then
• 06:00 - 06:30 off of that flare screen listen as as the player is rolling you set up a flare screen You also have cutters coming in off of a UCLA excuse me off of a Iverson screen Like all of these things matter So I could run an Iverson screen at the same time of running a pick and roll at the same time I'm running a flare screen or a Ver screen or a double stagger screen Like these are things we're not seeing from her and she's supposed to be elite This was pedestrian at best This
• 06:30 - 07:00 was uneventful This was some beginners coaching X's and O's That's what I saw I saw someone like I compared it to this I compared it to Dawn Peragnon versus white wine or some Chardonnay barefoot Chardonnay at Walmart That's what I compared it to Gino was Dom Dawn is barefoot white wine That's what I
• 07:00 - 07:30 compared it to I mean it was just levels I saw beginners X's and Os from Don Staley I saw no adjustments I saw her give up The only thing she was doing was working the referees That's not that's not the only part of coaching That was the only part of coaching for her was being frustrated Uh working the referees getting frustrated yelling cussing using profanity histrionics belligerent um just everything was super over the top
• 07:30 - 08:00 for her She was just out of control completely unhinged And just working the referees isn't enough Don Whining and complaining to the referees the majority of the game isn't enough Thank God Yukon beat you like that because it made you sit down It made you sit down and stop looking like you have like like you're bipolar She literally looked like she was having this bipolar episode She looked like she was off of her meds And I'm being completely honest Someone
• 08:00 - 08:30 should have put her in a padded room in a straight jacket because that's how she looked like she was completely and totally off her meds and it took Gino blowing her out to make her sit down because Dawn looked crazy And I'm talking about crazy with the letter C She looked 1,000% unhinged And it was because she didn't have an answer She didn't have a response She couldn't adjust because Don Staley is a fraud She's a flatout 1,000% fraud True story
• 08:30 - 09:00 True Flatout story Okay And me watching it today I saw incomp incompetence I saw flat out 1,000% incompetence And I saw someone who was way in over her head Way in overhead She looked worse than the first time they played each other Okay she looked much worse than the first time they played each other And so for many of you who don't know basketball right when you're watching it you're not seeing what I'm seeing or you're not
• 09:00 - 09:30 seeing what other people who play basketball and who've coached basketball or who scout and you're not seeing what what they're seeing and the different adjustments she could have made And she didn't make these adjustments at all And I'm watching that game and I'm watching a beginner I'm watching someone who looks like a beginner So this is me being a little complex saying triple screens three screens simultaneously That's really what you're supposed to do but normally you would at
• 09:30 - 10:00 least see a team run combo screens at the same time And he would do this every single time Okay we didn't see that from Dawn right we saw some ghost screening We saw some goal screening off off of picks and but we didn't see like massive screening heavy screening simultaneously right that's not what we saw That's not what we saw And so I mean it was just a massive problem just watching that game I was like "Oh this is over with." No
• 10:00 - 10:30 adjustments no creativity no imagination just nothing There was nothing innovative about her game plan It was It was just dead It was beginners It was high school coaching I don't even want to disrespect high school coaching cuz I believe high some prominent high school coaches would at least been running multiple screens simultaneously I don't even I don't care if it was just two screens simultaneously instead of three screens Some coaches would even run four screens to be quite honest with
• 10:30 - 11:00 you because you can do that right you can do that But you'll see a lot of teams become complex running three screens simultaneously against a team like Yukon I was looking for two to three I just saw some ghost screening and I guess to her that was like multiple screens at once Some slight little ghost screening Um but they never committed to the ghost screening You'll see Joyce and Saya just running some light work ghost screening I'm like you really got to sell the ghost screen You
• 11:00 - 11:30 have to sell the ghost screen And that's not what they were doing Okay And so it was just bad B And that's how you find clean shots That's how you find clean shots From veer screening to daggers to double daggers to flares off of pick and roll to 45 degree cuts right like and that's not even a I'm just talking about different kind of cutting I I didn't I didn't really see any 45deree cuts Like
• 11:30 - 12:00 I didn't see any Iverson screens I didn't see any really any flare screens I didn't see any dagger screens I didn't see any stagger screens Like I didn't see any hammer screens Like it was it was just like what is this what am I watching what am I watching right what am I watching here it was just it's just preschool man It was like total preschool you know so you just saw
• 12:00 - 12:30 basic things Just basic basic things man It was like what are you going to do with this what are you going to do with this what like seriously what are you going to do with this Don what are you going to do with this okay So like I told you guys before uh earlier in the season when I said you know I created a new offense where every time on offense we're going to do our very best to run we're going to try to make sure we run through 17 screens throughout the game 17 really 17
• 12:30 - 13:00 to 20 screens So that mean each time on offense we're going to try to run anything from three to five screens simultaneously Okay which you can do that You can run three to five screens simultaneously every time down on the floor on offense You can do that We didn't see that from Dawn We didn't see that from Don So I'm counting the screens in my head and I'm looking at these screens and I'm just seeing some goal screens you know a flare screen I'm
• 13:00 - 13:30 seeing you know some little dagger screens if you will Like I'm I'm not really seeing much from Dawn I'm not seeing any any complexities from her No sophistication It was just some simple pick and roll maybe some stagger screens It a flare screen It was some ghost screening but it was nothing that was married that was that would provide some complexity It was just nothing there It was just basic bland stuff Okay Just basic bland stuff And
• 13:30 - 14:00 I'm I'm I don't even want to disrespect checkers It definitely wasn't chess And it wasn't checkers Checkers is more advanced than what we saw today It's it in terms of just using an analogy It was just more more to it than that Okay Just more to it than that And I was very disappointed by what I saw That's why I'm just so happy that this season is over with I told you what it would be Okay The other day I told you I said Yuk that video was up right now I said Yukon is sophistication
• 14:00 - 14:30 It's beautiful basketball to watch and I would prefer to see Yukon in UCLA in the final in the national championship game But that was impossible Okay that was impossible So I said I'll settle for Yukon versus South Carolina instead of Texas cuz Texas is pure trash on offense Okay so I would settle for Yukon and South Carolina even though I knew Yukon will win right because Don Staley's team this year is what I called
• 14:30 - 15:00 a a win is a win team right that's her team A win is a win That's Don Staley's team If you had to come up with a title to describe Don Staley's team you would call her team a win is a win And they just try to get it however they can get it It's nothing beautiful about it There's nothing spectacular It's just a win is a win and let's see if we could scratch and claw our way to a win and get lucky and somehow get a win today
• 15:00 - 15:30 And it just didn't work today uh for Don Staley She was outclassed out coached It was barefoot white wine versus Don Peron versus Diamond Champagne It was it was absolutely pathetic what I watched today And to see some of these South Carolina Gamecock fans uh making excuses uh for her saying "Well she couldn't make those shots for them She couldn't be out there shooting those shots." Come on That's enabling That's absolutely enabling It's
• 15:30 - 16:00 a joke Okay And like I said before she didn't provide many opportunities for these players to score Well you can't blow your layups You can't blow your layups Miss layups are going to happen It's going to happen what you should have done you should have slowed Yukon down on defense Okay and that requires a lot of complexities a lot of misdirection a lot of combo right and we didn't see enough of that And it should have been that way every single time And
• 16:00 - 16:30 it just was not enough of that Okay and that's the problem That's the problem I told you guys what's missing in women's basketball What we've been seeing the last few years I got to be quite honest with you especially the last two years is unsophisticated basketball That's what we we've been seeing sloppy unsophisticated basketball And that was one of my concerns for the WNBA that I didn't want that stuff spilling over leaking into the WNBA Okay i don't want
• 16:30 - 17:00 that kind of basketball in the WNBA right because that's what I witnessed in women's college basketball really the last two three seasons but I'll definitely say the last two seasons it's just this unsophisticated basketball there's nothing really beautiful about it and you can find a few teams where there's sophistication there's luxury and if that's just not the case especially this season in women's collegiate basketball this was the worst women's collegiate basketball season that I could remember me watching in
• 17:00 - 17:30 quite some time it was just it was just that bad I mean it was just that bad It was just horrendous um hideous basketball and I hate it I'm just so happy that this season is over with Uh hurry up and get this goofy draft over with And just a simple fact that Holly Ro and Ryan RO and the rest of them they're talking about oh Don Staley prepares her players for the WNBA and Don Staley told us one thing that they don't have to worry about uh when when
• 17:30 - 18:00 they get to camp are you know are these players slacking and all of this stuff these players will always be prepared Let me tell you something Don Staley does not prepare her players for the WNBA You the only way you would make it in the WNBA if you were coached by Don Staley at South Carolina the only way or if you were Candace Dri and you were coached by her at Temple the only way is that you would have to be a transcended generational player right those are the duh the no-brainer players They could have went
• 18:00 - 18:30 anywhere in the country and they still would have made it to the WNBA and dominated right those are the duh the no-brainer players like Aaliyah Boston Camila Cardardoso Asia Wilson okay Alicia Gray who was pretty much a finished product when she transferred to South Carolina from North Carolina right candace Dri like these are just duh no-brainers They were going to succeed no matter where they went no matter who coached them These are generational talents Those are the only ones who can succeed anyone else with Don Staley
• 18:30 - 19:00 they're role players It's going to take them damn near five years to carve out a role for themselves right or they're just unimpressive or they're out of the league Okay and that's what happens to Don Staley's players And so to say that oh they're going to get to the WNBA and they're just going to shine and well what happened to Leticia Mi here what happened to Zia Cook what happened to Destiny Henderson what happened to Brie Bill what happened to Elena Coats right and the list goes on What happened to all of these players what happened to
• 19:00 - 19:30 Don Staley has been coaching at South Carolina for what damn near 20 years what happened to all of these players throughout the history of Don Staley coaching at South Carolina the fact that I can only count for you a few Asia Aaliyah Camila Alicia Gray I got to go back to Temple with Candace Dri And then I could throw in Ty Harris but didn't it take Ty Harris what almost
• 19:30 - 20:00 five years to really carve out a role for herself you can't say Tiffany Mitchell because Tiffany Mitchell was just a role player She's just a simple role player She doesn't stand out right so all I can really give you are five players from Don Staley in in what 20 years She fails her players because she's a system coach and it's all about what can you do for Dawn in terms of getting her bigger contracts bigger
• 20:00 - 20:30 bigger contracts That's what it's about for Dawn That's all it's ever been about is bigger contracts man And you look in the WNBA and you can only see five players that stand out Out of all of these players she's coached at South Carolina and Temple five players stand out Five She's overrated man She's a thousand% overrated A thousand% overrated And whatever happened to uncommon favor uncommon favor I guess
• 20:30 - 21:00 that was last year's theme Uncommon favor Uncommon favor Well obviously God wasn't favoring you this time around because you were dropping fbombs like it was nothing I mean you dropped a nasty fbomb on Khloe Kits against um Texas or one of those teams the team that they played before Texas and you said um yeah what the f are you doing whoa that's what you say to Khloe Kids What the f are you doing okay boom you
• 21:00 - 21:30 own Vic Schaefer That's a no-brainer And you get to this game and you got out coached and out class and all we see is someone who's unhanned someone who looks like she's off of her med Someone who looks like she needs to be in a padded room That's what we saw And we saw a bunch of fbombs and fbombs and fbombs and your face turning red and you smacking your forehead You looked 1,000% crazy with a C With a capital C not with a K but with
• 21:30 - 22:00 a C You look literally insane Okay you look completely insane because you got outclassed and you made no adjustments from the first matchup You were terrible You look actually worse this time than you did the first matchup That is a shame That is a shame And for me personally that's negligence That's incompetence That's a dereliction of duty I mean I just can't respect it So I think if you if you're at South Carolina and it's look like it's looking
• 22:00 - 22:30 like Gino is back Mississippi State buried Gino in 2017 Yukon Don Sty said let me resurrect you Gino Mississippi State is like we did our job We buried him in 2017 They haven't won the championship since that year since 2016 We buried them and we cursed them with an injury bug all of those years and Don Staley just redeemed just resuscitated them Brought them back to life So now get ready for the glory years of Yukon again Get ready for the glory years of
• 22:30 - 23:00 Yukon thanks to Don Staley The fact that she can't coach What you mean she can't coach you see their home win streak It's easy to do that Okay When you when your team is far superior than every other team in the SEC Okay And when obviously you have network and powers that beat biases having the referees to facilitate certain outcomes And when you got the refs on your side or the the NCAA on your side okay and your team is loaded
• 23:00 - 23:30 with a thousand freaking five stars like it's pretty easy to get these kinds of wins Okay right it's pretty easy But when you're facing someone toe to toe who can go blow blow forblow with you like Yukon you came up short You came up short right and it it's clear that you wouldn't even won last year's national championship game without Camila Cardardoso So while all of these Gamecock fans turned on Camila who was
• 23:30 - 24:00 at the tournament to to support the team all y'all turned on Camila because y'all didn't want to make it seem like South Carolina trash without Camila But it turned out to be true It turned out to be true You couldn't win it without Camila You couldn't do it What camila brought y'all two championships Two Two Without Camila man Y'all don't even get on that second run like that I We ain't even got to talk about the the championship game cuz she didn't do really anything in that game I'm just speaking about without Camila you don't
• 24:00 - 24:30 win enough to get to that point Okay And Don Staley got away from these elite bigs That was her bread and butter Asia Aaliyah Camila That's her bread and butter When Don just had these basic little bigs like Don really don't do damage like that You understand what I'm saying like she don't really do damage like that She tried to go kind of hybrid small ball this year and it blew up in
• 24:30 - 25:00 her face It blew up in her face Don is definitely going to try to go heavy after Medina Okoot who just transferred from Mississippi State She going to have to ride go heavy for her in that portal to see if she can get her because I'm telling you right now like it's nasty It's nasty y'all It's na and I told y'all what would happen right i told you what would happen I mean you got CocaCola versus Sam's Cola That's what it was That Sam's Cola look real good to that cheap little cola you can get at Dollar General or
• 25:00 - 25:30 Family Dollar Right That little off-brand tepid cola that you get from one of these little dollar stores So Don Staley was Sam's cola but she looked like Coca-Cola Classic Coca-Cola Classic Coke To these other teams in the SEC and some of these weaker church league teams she looked like classic Coca-Cola But really when you face Yukon you find out Yukon is classic Coca-Cola and Don Staylor you're Sam's Cola
• 25:30 - 26:00 You're Sam's Cola Don That's a true story That's real life You're Sam's Cola You understand and I'm sitting back watching this game Watching this game and I'm just looking at it like this is straight up beginners coaching This is terrible This is some YMCA coaching I'm looking at And only reason why they scored almost 60 points is because of the talent she has on that team It had nothing to do with Don Staley coaching Okay Had nothing to do with Don Staley
• 26:00 - 26:30 coaching You get that same team to Gino and watch watch Gino win a national championship game with that same team Watch You get that same team to Cory Close Cory Close winning the national championship game Watch You get that same roster to Jeff Waltz he's winning I promise you that You get that same roster to Brenda Freeze she's winning You get that same roster to Kim Moy she's winning You get that same roster to Neil Ivy she's winning You get

• 27:00 - 27:30 literally she looked insane And then to see these Gamecock fans try to make excuses for her is a absolute joke Is a 1,000% disgusting terrible bad joke Just call it what it is Because if you don't call it what it is then you're enabling her to keep it up And then to hear some of them say "No we we call it how we see it." If Don is getting out coach I'm gonna say she get you a damn lie Y'all all up on X Twitter
