Staley also collected Olympic gold in 1996, 2000. In 2004, Staley was the United States flag bearer in the opening ceremony in Athens, where she also won gold.

After retiring, she helped the U.S. to gold in the 2008 and 2016 Olympics as a coach, as well as the 2014 FIBA World Cup and the 2007 FIBA America Championship as an assistant coach for the senior national team.

In 2017, Staley moved into the head coach position for the U.S. Senior National Team, becoming the first Black coach to hold that title. With Staley at the helm, the group collected its seventh-straight Olympic gold medal and picked up gold in the 2019 and 2021 FIBA AmeriCups and the 2018 FIBA World Cup. She picked up her second USAB National Coach of the Year recognition in 2018.
