Early in the season, I constantly bitched about the high number of turnovers and the low percentage of free throws made. Today, they were fantastic with only 10 turnovers and 79% free throw shooting. Congratulations for getting things corrected...Go Lady Vols lets now do in with the SEC teams.
They are still horribly undercoached. They cant play D and they run around jacking up 3's on offense. Pitiful.
I think the defense did look poor but the threes this year look to be a part of good ball rotation not out of desperation. I think maybe one or two of those threes went up because people weren’t scoring but the others looked pretty good and they shot 42% from 3 so that is actually pretty good!
This team reminds me of a pick-up game team. They don't need teammates, because most of the players are me first players. Getting out rebounded by a much shorter team is ridicules! Defense and Rebounding is all about "Want To". You've got to dedicate yourself to playing defense and rebounding! These things reflect Leadership, or the lack thereof!
Until we have better coaching, the university is allowing the mockery to continue. Warlick has had more than ample time to show her merit as the leader of a first-rate women's college basketball team. The results speak for themselves. Phil, are you turning a deaf ear to what we are seeing as opposed to what we could have.....a top-tier Final Four team yearly?
Very well-said, my friend. I believe all the things you said to be absolutely spot-on. Thanks for sharing.I have not posted much the last few years because I don't have much good to say and I want those who are sensitive to still feel they have a safe space.
This has been discussed a lot over the years. Warlick presents a dilemma, she is still recruiting so well and overall there are enough terrible teams that she will continue to win 20 games annually. Well it's hard to fire a person that appears to be doing pretty good winning 20-25 games. The women's groups would raise cain. Does she need to be given the boot? Of course. She could do us a favor and admit the job is too big for her but it looks like it ain't going to happen. If this was the mens game, she would be gone because it's a blue blood program. The rules are different and that is the part that is bad.
Defense looked horrible. How many times are you going to get beat back door and make an adjustment. Coach & player. With the athleticism our team has, our defense was horrible. Defense is effort and being smart, knowing your opponent, doing your homework.
I’m glad we got the win. But I’m kind of nervous going into SEC play. Auburn on Thursday.
You are exactly correct. I haven't posted yet this year because I seldom have anything good to say about the woman pretending to be a coach. I attended my first game on Friday night and nothing has changed. She is completely clueless on how to coach. It has been a number of years since I have seen so much INDIVIDUAL talent on one team. I would never have thought that she would be allowed to pull our program down to average at best, destroying what Pat gave her whole life to build. Anyone who had any respect for Pat, and what she built would just admit her failure and step down. I understand that many people like her as a person, and that she has proven to be an EXCELLENT recruiter. I think the same thing is about to happen to the Lady Vol's that has happened to the football program, and it will take many years to move up to where we were. I hope we win every game, but after watching and listening to her interview postgame, we may be in for a long season. I just read she told her team that with Auburn's style of play that they (Lady Vols) would turn the ball over, how's that for teaching, preparing, and encouragement. The only comment that I made about Fulmer when he got the Athletic Director is that is friends with Holly, and she would not be fired. You can love her, or hate her, but you can't change the fact that she can not coach.I have not posted much the last few years because I don't have much good to say and I want those who are sensitive to still feel they have a safe space.
