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.
