Aliyah Boston and Dawn Staley shared a heartfelt moment during the Gamecocks Final Four win over NC State in April as the Indiana star was behind the mic for ESPN during the broadcast. Staley was a big part of Boston's development and shared a warm message when she was interviewed.

Coach Staley could be seen brimming with pride as Boston interviewed her. Calling it a proud moment, she said:

"This is a proud moment to be just on the other side of this mic, proud of your professionalism, proud that you know the game so much, that you are representing at the highest level. God is good to you."

The Fever forward reverted that God was indeed good but reminded her former coach that the moment was about her (Staley). The Gamecocks had just reached their third NCAA Finals in a row.

The Gamecocks' coach was also asked about the finals and being just one game away from the championship. She responded by saying that she was excited and that the players would be playing for the alumni who missed out on the ring, a season prior:

"This is the place we wanted to be, we wanna do it for you. We really want to take care of Sunday for you."

Coach Staley did live up to her word, as her side beat the Iowa Hawkeyes 87-75 to win the title. Interestingly, the Gamecocks defeated Boston's future teammate Caitlin Clark in the final.
