South Carolina women’s basketball head coach Dawn Staley would’ve left her post for the New York Knicks if offered. Staley revealed she interviewed for the Knicks’ opening and was ready to left for NYC if they put the contract in front of her.

Staley joined Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston to explain what went down. Ultimately, the two sides couldn’t come to a mutual agreement and understanding.

“I interviewed for the Knicks,” Staley said. “I did. It was, it was the same interview that everybody else (had) that was in their candidate pool, same thing. Went in. I mean, it was like hours, but in the interview, I thought I did pretty well. I was well prepared for the interview, right? If the Knicks would have offered me the job, I would have had to do it. Okay, not just for me, it’s for women, just to break open that … I would have to. And it’s the New York Knicks. And I’m from Philly, but it’s the freaking New York Knicks. And I did say that the interview.”
