Sports columnist Jason Whitlock has criticized Dawn Staley for her comments on Caitlin Clark. The former Fox Sports personality was also critical of CBS Sports for hiring the South Carolina coach as a WNBA analyst.
On a recent episode of "Fearless," Whitlock discussed Staley's comments. He said the three-time NCAA champion coach was being dishonest and explained why.
"I think she's being slightly dishonest here," Whitlock said. "She can't be fully dishonest. She saw the original Iowa versus South Carolina game as a race war that she lost to these evil White people who are getting all this hype and all this attention, Caitlin Clark.

"And God's going to show the world that it's Black women that dominate college basketball and we deserve all the hype and praise. I don't think she can be completely honest here. She lost a race war, and it still bothers her. And she still can't understand why she lost that race war."
From 2:09 onward:
Staley had said South Carolina's loss to Iowa in the Final Four in 2023 was the worst of her coaching career and had an impact on her players. Staley's Gamecocks did get revenge on Iowa last year, when they beat them in the NCAA championship game.
Dawn Staley predicts a bright future for Caitlin Clark
Despite what Jason Whitlock thinks about Dawn Staley, the Hall of Fame player had nothing but praise for Caitlin Clark. Staley gave her thoughts on Clark's game and the outlook for the Indiana Fever superstar on Sports Illustrated's "Around the W" podcast.
"I would say Caitlin Clark will go down as probably one of the best players to ever grace the league," Staley said. "And she's going to probably do it in half of the time that it takes any other great player."
From 24:00 onward.
Staley praised Clark's skillset and complimented the Fever for surrounding her with talent.
Clark is currently out with a quad injury and is set to miss her fifth consecutive game.
