The Lady Vols do not appear to be close to their prior championship form. Is Holly to blame or are we just fat on history? It is also possible that we are still looking for the next Pat? Some of us want Holly to go right now, others want her to leave at the end of the year, while some of us love and cherish the idea of Holly staying forever. It is a fact that we have a coach who does not appear on court or during interviews, to be as tough minded as the top ten coaches we see. The team seems at times to be error prong and lacking in enthusiasm. They have allowed two D2 teams to stay close to them in rebounds, including one that took them behind the woodshed and gave them a wiping.
We cannot just be happy with bad play, winning percentages, and getting close to the prize (sweet 16 and elite 8). Using getting close as wins, only works in hanger grenades and horse shoes. It is not just winning and losing that counts but how you win and how you lose. Can Holly be a final four coach? That is yet to be determined, however, a captain must show early that he/she has the ability to revive a sinking ship and keep it afloat and maintain its place among the top ships on the sea. That is particularly difficult when the last Captain was a sea going legend.
