Message: [QUOTE="Gamecockfan77, post: 2512756, member: 6414"] South Carolina is the reigning national champion and that means we are the reigning national champion. Upsetting, I know, but true. It has nothing to do with anything I was talking about. This team is the champion of nothing. I don't have a problem with Missouri playing physically. I don't have a problem with Dawn complaining that Wilson fouled out for the second time in two years against the same physical bunch of Missouri players. I don't have a problem with her making a show for her players and making moves to affect future games. Coaches do that sometimes. Missouri obviously outplayed USC. I'm disappointed that USC response to physicality was to lose composure and basically let Missouri dictate the tone of the game. I think USC backed down and that's disappointing. I disagree with your interpretation of the collision. I think it was intentional. Not the head butt necessarily, but the collision. She was sending the message that she wasn't going to cede Wilson any space. To my knowledge that's Staley's first ejection. I'm unaware of her particularly questioning officiating before. She definitely will question a lack of a respect or a characterization that she doesn't like, but I don't recall her being as outspoken about officiating before. Wilson doesn't foul out much. It was an extraordinary situation all around. Chalk it up as one loss in a basketball season and move on. Hopefully you respond better at home vs Missouri in the future. [/QUOTE]
