Happy one week ’til March Madness!

Welcome to the fifth and final episode in our new Legends of the Game mini-series highlighting five NCAA hoops icons — Pat Summitt, John Wooden, Geno Auriemma, Mike Krzyzewski, and Dawn Staley.

March Madness history is full of iconic moments, epic plays, and incredible athletes. But what ties each season together is the standout coaches — the changemakers that turn teams into dynasties. This series, co-hosted by The GIST’s associate managing editor Lauren Tuiskula and senior social media manager Robyn Pearson, will dig into five of the greats.

Episode 1 spotlighted the late, great Pat Summitt and her impact at Tennessee, and beyond. Episode 2 dove into UCLA legend John Wooden, Episode 3 covered UConn women’s head coach Geno Auriemma, and Episode 4 discussed longtime Duke men’s head coach Mike Krzyzewski.

And we saved perhaps the best for last — today’s episode is all about current South Carolina women’s head coach Dawn Staley, a fantastic player, a trailblazer, and a true legend of the game. Thanks for tuning in!
