Dawn Staley Praises Caitlin Clark's Unique Impact on Basketball, Citing Passing Prowess

In a recent interview, renowned basketball coach Dawn Staley offered a detailed assessment of rising star Caitlin Clark, highlighting her profound impact on the sport. Staley, who coached against Clark twice in college, noted Clark's consistent scoring, with over 30 points in each matchup. "She's probably the most difficult to scout, to play against," Staley stated, elaborating on Clark's versatile offensive game. However, Staley underscored that Clark's most dangerous attribute isn't her scoring, but her exceptional passing ability. "Her ability to make other people better and her ability to have other people's production along with her production, that's how you win," Staley explained. She further emphasized that Clark's presence has significantly increased viewership and brought "new eyeballs" to the game, acknowledging her role as an anomaly in attracting widespread attention to basketball.
