Our coaching staff is doing the best job they are capable of doing. I doubt if it will get much better, even with next year's recruiting class. It is a very good chance we will be at this same juncture next year, should of, could of but can't. This coaching staff has taken the Lady Vols as far as their abilities will allow, however, the power that be must realize this and move on. No matter what the record shows, it is a good chance, that this is as good as it gets.
I recorded the game and went back and looked at it again. There were mistakes made in the game but we still had a chance to win it in crunch time, however, MSU was more aggressive and wanted the game more. There was standing around, by Russell and others while one or two of our players were fighting for rebounds with three or more MSU players. Russell has to attack the boards. I get the feeling that, at times, she becomes too concerned about fouls. Except for the second quarter, and crunch time, I thought the ladies played well. I still wonder why Holly insist on not calling time outs when the team heads South. After each game she usually has two or more timeouts left. Though MSU was winning, they still called time outs when we seem to turn the momentum our way. Knowledge of the game includes the ability to called timeouts when necessary.
But yes I think Draya lacked confidence and an aggressive mindset offensively, and I wish she had had someone to give her that confidence and light the fire. With her physical skills, it could've been something special.
