South Carolina women's basketball coach Dawn Staley has been on the scene a lot of late. She notably commented on Caitlin Clark's omission from the Team USA roster during the Olympics broadcast and made sure to grab a selfie with former President Barack Obama at an exhibition game played by the men's squad that is now competing in Paris. But it was meeting NFL legend Tom Brady that led to her latest viral moment. Staley posted a hilarious message that also served as a playful warning upon striking a post with seven-time Super Bowl winner.

Yall I can not lie to you….don’t you ever ever look directly into @TomBrady eyes……this man is seriously beautiful. And I shook his hand….the Super Bowlssss hand. And the hand was just as gorgeous. Ok I’m done but for real. pic.twitter.com/xwKwT2dlsN

The former USA basketball coach wrote this next to some photos with the quarterback most consider the GOAT. "Y'all I can not lie to you….don’t you ever ever look directly into Tom Brady's eyes. This man is seriously beautiful. And I shook his hand. The Super Bowl's hand. And the hand was just as gorgeous. Ok I’m done but for real."

Brady has been spotted at various events in Paris, and in this instance he and Staley were in the same place at the same time. Which clearly made for an exciting interaction for the national championship winning coach if her post was any indication.

Staley is no stranger to glory at the games. She was a member of the gold medal winning Team USA women's basketball rosters in 1996, 2000, and 2004, while serving as the head coach for the squad that took home another gold in Tokyo at the last Olympics. Though, despite being an accomplished star athlete herself, Dawn showed she can still get starstruck.
