Inane commentary on a game that deserves far better


Thursday, March 24, 2005

The editorial board of the Philly Inquirer heaps praise on Dawn Staley.
In her five years at Temple, Staley has engendered loyalty and discipline from her players, which has translated to success on the court. They've brought pride to a school tarnished by other scandals this year, including the erratic behavior of men's basketball coach John Chaney.
Staley today gets mentioned as a candidate for the Alabama job. Michelle Smith pours some water on the excitement of Cal Bears fans who hope Staley will head west. "Staley has done a great job building the Temple program in the past four years and is a Philadelphia native with strong family and sentimental ties to her hometown."
