    Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

    Some observations: ● I thought the injury problems over the past few years should have given Harper the room for one more year. And, I thought she was doing a good job of rebuilding the program, albeit slower than some (probably including me) would have liked. ● The level of animosity toward her...

    Kim Caldwell (Rookie Coach of the Year-WBCA) is named Head Coach of Iconic Lady Vols WBB

    FWIW -- Jeff Walz is one hell of a coach. And recruiter. And builder of programs. He is hard on his players, and pushes them. The interesting other side of that coin is that his players, almost to a woman, both love and respect him. (Reminds me of a former coach at Tennessee.) He has built a...

    Who is on the team next year?

    I have heard more than once that to get to the Sweet Sixteen you need two outstanding players. To get to the Elite Eight, you need three. To get to the Final Four, you need four. And to win the whole thing, you need five (and a good bench as well). And with the transfer portal, it is actually...

    Game thread: NCAA Second Round: No. 6 Seed Lady Vols vs. No. 3 Seed NC State

    Can’t depend on your star to do it all herself. It’s called a “team sport” for a reason.

    Game Thread: #5 Tennessee (19-11, 10-6 SEC) vs #1 South Carolina (30-0, 16-0 SEC) Saturday 3/9/24 ~4:30 pm ET (ESPNU)

    This forum has been the only place I could follow the Lady Vols, since Rocky Top Talk doesn’t. But, I’ve been coming here less and less, due to the unbelievable ugliness toward the players and coaches. Calling HCKH a “bitch”? That’s now acceptable here?

    Game Thread: #5 Tennessee (19-11, 10-6 SEC) vs #1 South Carolina (30-0, 16-0 SEC) Saturday 3/9/24 ~4:30 pm ET (ESPNU)

    I for one am proud of the fight the LVs showed, and the fact that they never gave up. They took the undefeated 30-0 #1 team down to the wire, which no other team has done. The Lady Vols have really picked up their play at the end of the season, and here’s one fan who is excited to see what they...

    NCAAT Game Thread: Lady Vols vs Buffalo/Belmont

    So, I don’t post here very often, so perhaps I’ve seen more negativity than is actually on here. But I have to say, after a win to get the Lady Vols back to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in years, I’m frankly amazed at the negative comments -- calling out HBKH, calling out the players by...

    Purdue coach throwing shade at Hooker?

    Considering the SEC’s bowl record this year, I don’t think I’d be throwing too much shade at the Big Ten.

    So if Pruitt is right and the NCAA crushes Tennessee

    I think that anyone throwing out "but others cheat, so the NCAA can't go after us" have not followed the actions of the XXXX organization very closely. There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, consistent about how the XXXX goes about its "oversight" role. The process is opaque, unbelievably...

    3rd Down for What

    I know it's a Butchism, but frankly I never did learn the context. Can someone enlighten me?

    Classless...period

    Very sorry to see the way the game ended. As someone else stated, the "golf ball and trash incident" will forever be an asterisk on this season, no matter what the team does with the rest of the year. And remember: there's reality, and there's perception. The reality is that some small...
