Dawn Staley says she spoke to Geno Auriemma, asks everyone to 'turn the page'

South Carolina women’s basketball coach Dawn Staley is ready to move past the drama surrounding her heated exchange with UConn coach Geno Auriemma on Friday, and she’s asking the public “to turn the page.”“With the college women’s basketball season behind us, it’s time to move forward and close the chapter on how our semifinal game with UConn ended,” Staley said in a statement released by South Carolina on Tuesday. “I spoke with Geno, and I want to be clear — I have a great deal of respect for him and what he’s meant to this game. One moment doesn’t define a career, and it doesn’t change the impact he’s had on growing women’s basketball.Advertisement
