South Carolina basketball coach Dawn Staley takes in 76ers-Knicks, rings bell, hugs Allen Iverson
South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley is taking in another game of the NBA playoffs. After attending Game 3 of the Eastern Conference first-round series for the Philadelphia 76ers against the New York Knicks, she was back for Game 4 Sunday.
The ABC camera panned to her multiple times to show her celebrating. Before the game she got the opportunity to ring the bell and also shared an embrace with 76ers legend Allen Iverson. Staley was a good-luck charm for Philadelphia’s 125-114 victory on Friday to cut the series deficit to 2-1.

Staley, who just led the Gamecocks to their third national championship, has been coach at South Carolina since 2008. But she was born in Philadelphia and also coached Temple from 2000-08. She earned Philadelphia’s “Best College Coach” in Philadelphia Magazine’s “Best of Philly” edition during that time.
Dawn Staley rings bell, waves goodbye to Isaiah Hartenstein, hugs Allen Iverson
Staley was active before and during the Game 4. When Isaiah Hartenstein picked up his fifth foul, Staley was among the Sixers fans who waved goodbye to the Knicks center.
Hartenstein headed to the bench. Of course, in the NBA, a player fouls out with six instead of five, like in college. But the Philly crowd still had fun with the moment.
Before the game, Staley embraced Iverson and had a chance to ring the bell. Staley also went to the Knicks huddle before the game and shared an embrace with New York guard Jalen Brunson.
South Carolina football coach Shane Beamer said earlier this offseason that the Gamecocks would keep their transfer portal options open this spring. That has proven to be true.
Last month, USC added transfer portal kicker Malik Orsan to supplement the special teams position battles and add multi-year depth.
On Saturday, another portaler with multiple years of eligibility remaining landed with the Gamecocks.
Following a visit to Columbia that began on Thursday, former Stetson offensive lineman Vincent Chen committed to South Carolina. He will join the team this summer.
Chen’s decision to transfer to Carolina will make him the team’s 13th new offensive lineman of the offseason. To go with three high school signees and a junior college addition, Chen will be the ninth transfer portal blocker to join new offensive line coach Randy Clements’ room.
The Insiders Forum: Discuss South Carolina football!
Making his ascent to the SEC more impressive, Chen is still relatively new to football. He never played the sport until his upperclassman years at DeLand High School in Florida. Previously a basketball player, track athlete, and weightlifter, he adapted to the gridiron quickly.
As a player, Chen is a 6-8, 328-pound tackle. He saw action in 18 games across two seasons at Stetson, first winning a starting job as a true freshman in 2024. Chen was the Hatters’ primary starting left tackle in 2025.
On film, Chen shows off a strong base and heavy hands that allow him to stone pass rushers. He also has the size to make an impact as a run blocker.
Because he has played just two years, Chen has multiple seasons of college eligibility left. He adds real depth to a position room that will graduate at least seven offensive linemen after the 2026 season.
