Texas Coach Mike White ( CMW) was very effusive in his praise of all things Tennessee. In his interview after the Super Regional finals' loss he mentioned facilies, coaches, administration and umpires as excellent. I could not find the link or would have posted.
However, when asked about Payton Gottshall's dominance, he said she spins the ball very well and usually for strikes. But said Payton didn't do anything Texas had not seen before or expected. (In my opinion) he was very petty in not giving praise and congratulations to Payton In her shut- out performace.
I did appreciate his acknowledgement that Tennessee's fan base was very fair and welcoming. He said our cheering was not over the top or abusive. He indicated at some locations that is not the case. I suspect Texas does not get any love from other Big 12 members or former members (Texas A@M) as Texas prepares to leave.
Didn’t realize that Ralph Weekly had an influence in him getting into coaching…or at least told by the ABC crew.
