No one has aggressively taken that spot bc they were in essence told not to by saying everybody step up...I would have worked the heck out of that opportunity and stressed "next man up...who's it going to be?",,..,, but that is my philosophy, not Coach K's.

Darby is a streak shooter, which makes her a streak misser. Justine Pissott doesn't have that tendency. She is a consistent threat and rarely has extended slumps. And her range is unbelievable. I applaud Coach K for what she has gotten out of Darby. She had confidence in Tess when pretty much everybody had written Tess off...Kellie and staff made a then "non-factor" into a "legitimate threat". Helluva job coaching !

Dye is an enigma that this staff had one season to figure out, smooth as silk, able to be explosive, yet able to disappear for a game or a stretch.

This is a very diverse set of athletes and Coach K has done a good job. by my unscientific consideration on this team are 2 alpha, 2 Beta's and 9 Alpha/Beta's.

She had a tough year 2, but rebounded with a very good year 3
year 1 went 21-10 and no NCAA tourney
Year 2 went 17-8 NCAA 2nd round
Year 3 22-7 and still games to be played

Just to clarify, the NCAA Tournament was cancelled one year.

I have often pointed out her weaknesses,,,,offensive flow,,not hard enough on turnovers, not using the first two timeouts for tactical or coaching moments, other things

I was the same way with Holly

The difference,,,I believe in and support Coach K as a hire
And will continue to
I will not consider another HC until she gives me reason to

Yep,you were on the Holly band wagon till the end along with many others. I would expect that you would go all in with Kellie. Good for you. I also hope she is our answer. she definitely a world ahead of our last coach, except for recruiting. We all hope for a great future with her as our coach.

Does anyone think LSU had talent in the SEC? For reference, they were picked to finish 8th in the SEC. Now they're 8th in the COUNTRY.

LSU fans (at least the majority of them on their forum) don't describe their team as a stacked team. Coming into this season, only two of the players on that roster were double digit scorers.

Don’t think she’s much of a coach

I do. I think her style is a little antiquated and she seems to not buy into the spread floor game these days. Everything had to go to the paint, we took minimal perimeter shots so the defense made TK's life hell.

Me neither. All these wearing orange glasses keep apologizing for her. She is Holly Jr

Fulmer succeeded Mike Hamilton, Dave Hart, and John Currie and still managed to go down as the worst AD in UT history. He literally did nothing right.

I guess Harper's results are the best judge? If you are happy with a mid tier SEC team which never wins ANY championships, then perhaps Harper is the coach for you. I expect you are seeing some of the BEST Harper years!

What, in year 3 with all the injuries? A little harsh given circumstances.

I’ve tried to get on board with her. I just can’t do it. I’m just not sold she’s the right coach.

If she can't get better recruits then to me she's not the right coach. Good recruiting helps coaches be good.Coach Summitt Geno and Phil Jackson are all time great coaches but let's be real they had all time great players too.Coach Harper would be better served to get elite recruits to Rocky Top

She's got a future WNBA level player (Rickea Jackson) considering us
You don't think that will turn some heads,,,even if we don't get her,,,she DID consider us
and OBTW,,,we may still get her
