Beverly Smith is trying to complicate Dawn Staley’s schedule for May, which is weird considering they have become such close friends.
South Carolina’s eighth-year softball coach and 10th-year women’s basketball coach are Columbia neighbors and were taking one of their regular strolls Tuesday morning when the subject of the calendar was broached.
“Dawn was asking about the rain and trying to figure out all the game times,” Smith said. “She’s very invested. She wanted to hear about the (potential) Super Regional. She’s really trying to figure out how to fit softball into her schedule right now. It is awesome to have her be such a big fan and supporter of our program.
