Before Staley's wall, who set the standard she had to reach?

When Dawn Staley won her third title, she joined a club Pat Summitt helped define. Over 38 seasons at Tennessee (1974-2012), Summitt went 1,098-208 — at her retirement, the most wins of any coach in NCAA basketball history, women's or men's.

Her eight national championships and her place in the inaugural Women's Basketball Hall of Fame class set the bar every builder after her has been measured against. That's the standard Staley's South Carolina had to reach — and then raise.
