ESPN Broadcaster Suggests 76ers Hire Dawn Staley if Team Struggles in Playoffs

After winning her second national title as a head coach at South Carolina on Sunday, Dawn Staley has solidified herself as one of the top coaches in women’s college basketball.

The dominant performance by the Gamecocks on Sunday night was a masterclass in which they went wire-to-wire against the Huskies to claim their second national championship in five seasons.

While she is certainly one of the top coaches in college hoops, one ESPN broadcaster thinks she could be in store for a different opportunity.

“If Doc Rivers fails to get out of the first round, the Sixers should strongly consider hiring Dawn Staley,” SportsCenter anchor Max McGee tweeted on Sunday night.
