She means that it was God’s plan for them to win. She has said a variation of this statement in several interviews.
She has interviewed with an NBA team previously while here (2020 iirc). She made clear she is not interested in coaching outside of the collegiate level on a full-time basis. Her remaining family members are permanent residents of SC and her parents were originally from a small town outside of Columbia. She isn't going anywhere bc she won't leave her surviving family and they have told her they will not move elsewhere.
Did you listen to the context or just see the one line? She was complimenting her team for putting the team ahead of themselves and committing to winning the NC. "Keep the main thing the main thing" was their mantra all year long. Plus she believes that God has things planned out. It was divinely ordered - they just have to do their part. Dawn's just like every good coach - she knew what she was saying and was playing to the crowd, but her team and the FAMS knew the meaning. If you don't like her you don't like her but she is all about her team and promoting WBB. When she sent out the text to Paige, she meant it. There aren't many other coaches that would do that.
Goodness the woman has accomplished more as a player and coach than any human being in the WORLD. She can certainly back it up.
She was referring to men vs women coaches. Her point was they do the same job so why is there such a disparity between what they are paid. She was saying they both coach young women/men, recruit, handle all the other aspects of the job... So why do men generally get paid FAR more than women at both the collegiate and pro level.
It’s like which came first, the chicken or the egg? Which is harder, winning a NC or repeating? They are both hard, which is HARDER?
We didn't carry the weight of being the #1 ranked team from start to finish in 2017. There wasn't as much pressure and not nearly as big of a target on our backs. 2022 was definitely harder bc it felt like everybody hated us. (Which is fine... Means we are doing well)
And now we get to add being the defending National Champs AND probably start the season at #1.
Can you give me an example of a male and a female coach with the exact same resume?
OMG... This is the truth. They HATE us. They despise Dawn, too. They're like a pack of territorial attack dogs that feel like just bc Dawn and South Carolina are praised and in the spotlight now, it lessens the memory of Pat's accomplishments when one fact can stand independent of the other and both still be true.
I'm certain Dawn can. I'd be interested to see one with the same list of accomplishments as Dawn or even (gag) Kim Mulkey.
UConn players don’t put the team ahead of themselves? Stanford players don’t? Players of other programs don’t?Did you listen to the context or just see the one line?

Arrogant? How about Cocky?
I know the way-too-early preseason already has us at #1. Plus the national attention Dawn is getting is annoying a lot of opposing fan bases. We will absolutely be hunted ruthlessly next season.
God’s not busy enough, he now picks out teams to win championships?
Someone told me God is with and in everything. So yes lol
Might want to check your scorecards.
Lol, that’s the price of success. Nobody likes the big dog much.
Wait... WHAT? She was suspended 3 games during the tournament, correct? And we never found out the actual reason why?
Ummmm…..Arrogant? How about Cocky?
Similar to right after Stewie’s freshman year and everyone said let’s evaluate UConn after Stewie graduates.
I was responding to the comment that Dawn, who i respect, has accomplished more as a player and coach than anyone in the WORLD. That’s quite a statement.
Oh I know. I was just saying it makes me kind of uncomfortable when the occasion of comparisons being made happens.
Ummmmm…. I said as a player AND coach. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong but I don’t believe I am. I’ve heard it before so I didn’t just make it up. I didn’t say it to discredit anybody. Another poster said Dawn was arrogant. My comment to them was that she might be Cocky but she could back it up. Her resume is listed below.
