Caitlin Clark’s historic career for Iowa women’s basketball ended with a crushing defeat to South Carolina in the 2024 national championship game. Here’s what Clark had to say after the game.
Caitlin Clark on post-championship game praise from South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley
Question: Caitlin, I’m sure the moment stings quite a bit, but Dawn Staley just gave you some really, really strong and sincere praise on the podium, on the TV broadcast, for all you’ve done and all that she believes you’re about to do in the years to come. I wonder what that means to hear from her.
“I think any time someone like Coach Staley is able to recognize you and what you did for the game is obviously pretty special. Obviously she’s someone I respect so much. I respect what she’s done for South Carolina. I respect what she did as a player for our game.”
“Any time you can get the praises of her is pretty special. So it means a lot.”
