Staley’s Gamecocks capped off their remarkable undefeated season by taking down Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes at today’s final inside the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Cleveland, Ohio.
Those watching the game may have noticed the stunning jacket that Dawn Staley was sporting on the Gamecocks bench. As it turns out, Front Office Sports did some digging and discovered that the jacket is actually a Louis Vuitton, and it comes with an insane price tag of $5,370.

While five-grand may seem like a lot to spend on a jacket for most people, it’s chump change for Staley, who is currently in the third year of a seven year, $22.4-million deal she signed with the Gamecocks back in 2021. And she’s earned every penny of it so far, especially after leading South Carolina to their third national championship during her tenure — with the other two coming in 2017 and 2022.

Winning national championships as a college basketball head coach isn’t the only thing Staley has to gloat about. The Philadelphia native is also an American Basketball Hall of Fame player with six WNBA all-star games and four Olympic gold medals (three as a player and one as a coach) to her name.
She also had herself a very impressive college career as a player back in the day, winning two Naismith College Player Of The Year awards during her time as a point guard at Virginia.
