South Carolina head coach Dawn Stale was spotted at Game 4 of the NBA playoff series between the New York Knicks and Philadelphia 76ers, rooting for her hometown team.
The Philadelphia native received a warm welcome from the Knicks, including a gift of team gear and an autographed jersey from guard Jalen Brunson.
“Can’t beat em join them,” she wrote on X, accompanying her post with three laughing emojis.
“Thank you to my @nyknicks peeps for sending the NY love package! Thank you Rick! Thank you Jalen! Family for life! Win that ish!!”
Among the photos Staley posted was one of her with a young Brunson, highlighting her long-standing connection with the Brunson family. This relationship dates back to her tenure at Temple University, where she coached from 2000 to 2008.
