Get the leadership right, the rest takes care of itself.
The old saying goes as a coach, it’s my job to make the lineup out, it’s your job to be in it. I don’t agree with Wynn leaving in this fashion as it takes away from the team and puts it’s on her. Kim has some growing to do as a coach and year two of the Tennessee pressure is showing.

Do you think any one of Kaiya's teammates would have gotten angry or felt it unfair if Kaiya had been honored with the one opportunity in her entire loyal five years as a Lady Vol to get the grand introduction that starters receive? Which ones do you think woukd have been upset and thought how unfair it is that Kaiya got to enjoy that experience even though it went against Kim's normal rules for deciding who starts?

Being a compassionate human being does sometimes require us to be flexible in our rules and actions, and in this instance I cannot even remotely imagine a single person on our roster, or in that arena Sunday, who would not have been absolutely THRILLED if Kim had made that one exception to her rule.

Agreed. Caldwell could've, and should've, made an exception to her rule and allowed Wynn to start and be in the game for at least a couple of minutes. I remember a guy I was friends with at school years ago that made this statement that applies to the situation at hand. While it's good to have rules and regulations, what is not good is when people get hurt by them. He was right. It's important to have rules, but people are more important. And sometimes, it's okay, and even good, to bend the rules to help someone out.

Be fair seen like they didn't try to pressure Vanderbilt because of Vanderbilt point guard and other Ball handlers

Now she needs to work on substitution patterns..
And little bit on players relationship
If she wants to have Tennessee playing as team.

Or she Kim Caldwell could work on that a new job if she doesn't change few things.
And there not improved between now one to three More years she has left if she doesn't improved.

Maria carries the water for every LV coach.... she's basically female Brent Hubbs, just a bit wackier

A very good friend used to be a Vol media watercarrier. The reason they do what they do is their income depends entirely on keeping access to the inside of the program. Therefore they never say anything that might hinder that. That's why my friend no longer does it. It's also why you can never trust those sources for actual reporting.

Can you imagine the conversation (that obviously did not occur)?

coach- Uh, good to see all your family here…ermmm… we are really concerned about Vandy, and this errrm…game is very important.

Player KW- Yes, I understand that.

coach- So, then we want to give some minutes to Mya, and to Lauren even though nobody will pass the ball to her when she’s open, and to Prawl. errrm I never remember her first name, so, then, you and Wolfie are our end of the bench guys and minutes are scarce and we figure Spearman has just Got to play better than the last few games, at least we hope so, so minutes are kinda used up.

OR:
Player KW who stuck thru all the changes and suffered a career ending injury: In five years I've never started. All I want is to be introduced in pregame and run out through the lights and fireworks. Then you can take me out in the first 90 second shift change.

Coach: NAHHHH!

Needless self own thy name is Kim Caldwell.

I'm with you on this. Nerve does 2 wrongs make a right. DW has got to be investigating all that's going on and we're probably not going to know what's going on until after the tournament.

At this point this team doesn't really seem to react to anything. They stay on the same neutral plane and never seem to "come out" with any particular emotions or agenda. Maybe a result of just going numb to all the bull crap that's gone on around this team. It's a complete toss up how they'll approach Thursday.

If you knew Kiaya's history, you would understand why her doing any of this is such a huge red flag. Words you used "quit","complain", "tantrum", are 1000% not KW. She has been the epitome of a loving, cheerfu,l supportive teammate every second she's been here. The fact that this controversy centers around her should tell you everything you need to know about the depths of the culture problem in this program.

I can appreciate the fact she was a good teammate and person for the duration of her career. However, this doesn't change the fact she quit before the season ended and her only specific citation was not playing in a game. She, point blank, quit and I'm not supportive of this action.

Now, this doesn't preclude there are other serious issues within the program, but these can also occur at the same time as someone quitting the team. Perhaps there will be more elaboration later, but I'm fine with my critique and position.

Yes, I thought she did, but the poster seemed to research it so I said maybe i'm wrong. But yes, all seniors started.

Sorry about that. I opened the most recent home game box score assuming last home game was senior night. Didn’t look at the day/date. Just out here spreading misinformation….

Guess everyone didn't include Maria M and me about Tess Darby not coming back
Mine and her take different from yours.
Not insider but I read and watch podcasts social media and articles of Tess Darby social media
Expected her back so Maria.

And there wasn't any proof from her in her own words she wasn't coming back.
Just the opposite if you pay attention to her words her whole four years before.

Just like Maria she said it was generally expect Tess Darby would use fifth year COVID-19

I don't have a 247 subscription, but I'm familiar with what NIL donors and partners were asked to do for her and that's where my information comes from.

We will never know how many recruits this will cost. Every opposing coach that recruits head to head with CKC will have this post in their back pocket. She can never have the reputation of a coach who cares for her players. Wynn’s post is devastating. You can hear her love for the Lady Vols contrasted the heartbreak of not being considered worthy of a cameo.

Don't have a subscription nether 247
Just reading tess words about her freshman year adjustment from high school and COVID-19 in that free article her sophomore year

And other articles YouTube and Maria M take on why Tess Darby didn't start.
And Kellie Harper history of honoring seniors with senior night starting
Social media tess darby social media accounts

Just like to go see what the person involved said
Tess Darby
And use to keep tabs on her Tess and Edia social media when Tess playing.

It's free article where Tess Darby was talking about her freshman year adjustment from high school and going through COVID-19 year

Tess Darby " I get that year back"
Is where I first started to believe she would stay five years.

Better to hear from the source than hearsay

Maria M take
"generally expected that she would use a fifth year that was available to players in college during the pandemic because of how it disrupted the ending and start of two seasons..

Just assumed like Maria Tess Darby coming from her words
Believe if Tess Darby would have told Kellie Harper she wasn't coming back. Kellie Harper would have started Tess Darby with Rickey Jackson, Jewel Spear, Jasmine Powell, Tameri Key instead of starting Sara Puckett.

Case in point how Kellie Harper handle her Missouri transfer portal senior who transfer in Missouri.

Anyway your attorney
And busy can read Free article if want to or not.
Don't want to tie your Time up.

I’m sorry but I don’t see this as quitting, I see this as making a statement. How you couldn’t allow her to have any meaningful minutes even if it’s just a couple is mind blowing. If that’s the case she wasn’t good enough to be on the team but she was. CKC is obviously oblivious to the needs of her players. I feel sorry for the young lady. It’s humiliating for her to be asked to go in with 15 seconds left. Absolute BS! CKC tough persona is wearing thin with a lot of fans. It’s obvious that coaching at a high level and roster management is not her forte. Is everyone willing to wait a few years for her to evolve? I’m not. It’s time to move on IMO.

“Meaningful minutes” for a below average player against a top 5 team after we’ve lost 5 in a row. This is not high school. Be serious please

Talking about a must win game but giving Spearman 30 minutes knock it OFF lol.

Yes I'm letting Jersey do the jump ball.

Would KW have given effort and heart on the court to win her last game? Ask herself this question?

I'm a firm believer on playing the ones who give there all and hard for 40 minutes.
