Indiana Fever phenom Caitlin Clark is arguably the biggest name in North American sports since Michael Jordan. Although she’s currently sidelined with an injury, Clark is a singular force who is helping drive the WNBA to exponential growth, as the league is experiencing unprecedented highs in attendance and television viewership.
However, Clark made her name well before she was drafted by the Fever. As an Iowa Hawkeye, she became the highest-scoring player in college basketball history, and even left one of the most legendary coaches in the sport questioning God, per her own words.
In a clip that’s going viral on social media, University of South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley said that losing to Clark and the Hawkeyes in 2023 was the toughest loss of her career.
Fans reacted to the brutal impact Clark had on Staley on social media.
“She can’t keep Caitlin Clark’s name out of her mouth in every interview she does….move on gramps,” one fan wrote on Twitter.
“Haters still coming on here ‘LSU beat Iowa next game’. Yeah, CC and those 2&3 star Iowa girls couldn’t beat two teams in row loaded with 5 star recruits and All Americans everywhere on tueir rosters,” someone else added.
“All the CC fans acting like Angel didn’t do the same to them,” one fan added.
It’ll be interesting to see how many more coaches Clark leaves confounded throughout her career.
