When South Carolina women's basketball faced No. 11 seed Buffalo in the Sweet 16 on Saturday, it marked the final meeting between two African-American female coaches in the NCAA tournament.
And while USC's Dawn Staley emerged from that contest the winner, Bulls head coach Felisha Legette-Jack made headlines too when she was asked about being an African-American female coach and whether she felt her team's surprising success highlighted the lack of people like her in leadership positions throughout the sport.
In response, Legette-Jack spoke powerfully about the lack of opportunities given to African-American women as coaches in a sport where most of the players are African-American themselves.
