South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley is set to be honored with a statue in Columbia, South Carolina next to the Alumni Center. Over her 17-year tenure as head coach for the South Carolina Gamecocks, they have made the NCAA Tournament in 14 consecutive seasons, with seven Final Four appearances and three national championships.

The statue of Staley will stand at the intersection of Senate and Lincoln streets right next to the university’s Pastides Alumni Center, the University of South Carolina announced Monday. That’s in the city’s Vista district, across from the Columbia Convention Center and a few blocks away from where the statue was first thought to be destined.
