Pat needs to take a chill pill. She is going to blow a head gasket if she continues the current tirade. Pat, I don't think this is working, perhaps you need to step back from the situation and reevaluate how you are trying to get these girls to play to their ability. The old saying, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink"...Pat, you are drowning these girls with you're holding their heads under the water. It is becoming quite obvious that they are looking at the sideline more than they are watching their opponent. One mistake, you are on the bench, taking on the Summitt Stare.

Doesn't she have more wins than anybody else? Ever? She knows what she's doing I do believe.

she has 8 NC's, and over 1,000 wins and this guy says she doesn't know what she's doing to the girls. hmmmm....i guess this guy coached church league where his team finished 1st.

Just saying it is not working with this group. Not questioning her honors, just the outcome of this group of All-Americans.

Pearl should take some notes and maybe we wouldnt be getting blown out by USC and Vandy twice!!!

"guess this guy coached church league where his team finished 1st." No, just a little bit(25yrs) of high school ball.

Listening to Pat's post game interview last night, I can't remember when I've heard her more disgusted and frustrated with a team's effort. Or lack. No energy. No intensity. Players spectating rather than playing. Team plays to the level of competition or whatever the score is. This was a pathetic showing coming off the Florida game. I love the Lady Vols program and the team. I want to see them go as far as they can this year. If something doesn't change, they'll only go as far as they want to.

Pat can yell and scream at them all she wants to. She knows she can't beat Connecticut, there isn't any way to make this team good enough to do it, and there isn't anyone else who's good enough to beat them for her, like what happened two years ago. And that's all that really matters, because if she can't beat the Huskies, she can't win the national championship.

That's really what this is all about. Pat Summitt could go 38-1 some year, and it wouldn't mean a thing to her if she didn't get to hang a banner. So she's going to keep riding them the rest of the season, trying to make her two pairs beat a royal flush come March.

I don't believe CPS will roll over for UConn or anybody,they will probably lose the game,if it happens,I would bet that she doesn't see it as a automatic lost game too

Pat's frustration at not having any of these very athletic players develop into a point guard who can run the team is getting to her a little, maybe. I *think* she might think that that one position player is keeping this team from being a level above where they are (which is still pretty damb good) and it bugs her. Does Holly have any eligibility left?
