Six-time WNBA All-Star Dawn Staley has enjoyed a hugely successful transition into coaching since her playing days, and on Sunday night she achieved the ultimate goal.

Staley’s South Carolina Gamecocks topped Mississippi State to capture the school’s first-ever national title, completing a swift rise for both Staley and the program.

Understand that @dawnstaley was a coach before she was a coach. All 6 years I played with her she was coaching on the court ? #OneOfTheBest

Happy for South Carolina women. Happier that Dawn Staley discovered that banning social media isn't smart for school or players.

Congrats to South Carolina and Dawn Staley. One of the all-time great program building jobs and just 90 seconds from a national title.

Congrats to @dawnstaley on this national championship. Went 3x to Final Four as a player, now she's won it all as a coach. Amazing.
