Press conferences are meant to be a space for insight, analysis, and maybe even a few soundbites. But for South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley, one moment of honesty from guard Chloe Kitts turned into an unexpected headache.
Following South Carolina’s dominant fourth-quarter run in the SEC Tournament, Kitts was asked about her impressive 11-point performance in the final period. She confidently explained, “My coaches and point guard kept saying 14, which is kind of get the ball to me, and I just delivered.”
Staley’s immediate response? A simple “Thanks,” before quickly realizing what had just happened. Kitts, still unaware, responded with a puzzled “What?” to which Staley bluntly stated, “You just told them our play.”
What else do you expect? Kitts quickly apologized, but the damage was already done. In the heat of competition, South Carolina’s inside code—”14″—was now public knowledge. And with the intensity of the SEC Tournament in full swing, Staley now faces the unexpected challenge of tweaking their game plan on the fly.
