Dawn Staley has created one of the best teams in women's basketball during her time with the South Carolina Gamecocks.

Staley has consistently helped South Carolina compete for a national title.

Last season, the Gamecocks made their way to the title game but ended the season losing to the UConn Huskies in the final game of the NCAA Tournament.

While Staley and her players work toward vengeance, looking to get back to the mountaintop, the Gamecocks head coach made a big move outside of the white lines.

Staley released her book, "Uncommon Favor," on May 20.

On Wednesday, Staley revealed that "Uncommon Favor" has made the New York Times best sellers list, currently ranked at No. 10.

"Evening my good peeps," Staley said. "My Uncommon Favor peeps! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! We did it again! Unbelievably grateful for your uncommon support and uncommon love in making this happen again! UNCOMMON FAVOR has made the @nytbestsellers_ list this week!"
