I also was taken aback when Texas player Mia Scott was chasing a foul ball, and he chose to stand there (rather than move). He not only had his hands all over her, but I noticed as he was going down, his left hand was conveniently located on her right breast. Again, hopefully nothing sinister...

The first time I had ever seen this coach was in the 2025 world series. The first thing I noticed about him is that he likes to put his hands on his female players a lot -a very "affectionate" coach. Hopefully nothing sinister going on, but the optics are not good. In this day and age, one would...

Here are the SMU team stats for 2024-2025 season (along with career stats). While Robertson leads the team in scoring by a whole lot, I'm paying close attention to the number of shots taken compared to other players and the field goal percentage -though she does shoot a lot of threes. Free throw...

She slayed the dragon in her very first year of coaching in the big leagues. The last last two coaches, with all their experience and Lady Vol tradition couldn't manage to take Auriennema down. With all her successes and failures throughout her first season, Coach Caldwell did the one thing that...

The way it appeared to me yesterday, they had no "spirit."

Yes, that was so annoying! With around 4 minutes left, the networks stopped the radio broadcast abruptly and never returned. Not a good time to do that when it's not a regularly televised game.

I always liked Striplin -great personality and a contagious smile. In the back of my mind, I wonder if perhaps the Lady Vols might be about to land another post in the portal, and she might feel like her future playing time might be threatened -just a hunch...

I guess Van Lith and Sulky Mulkey clashed heads one too many times. Van Lith will likely wait and see who wins this year's national championship before committing. She seems to chase success in a weird way.

Echo much of what has already been said -Kellie is a true professional with a ton of class. She has been a fantastic role model, continually influencing her players more than in just basketball to be model citizens in our society. She is a great communicator who presents herself well, always...

There's certainly a new reality, and that is that competition is extremely tough for younger players with the transfer portal. Tennessee brought in top talent in the portal last year, many with valuable playing time and experience already under their belts. Next year, players who didn't get much...

I'm very encouraged by Destinee's FT shooting -a whopping 86.1% (149 for 173) last year. The highest FT % for a Lady Vol last year (shooting over 30 FT's) was Rikea Jackson at 79.2% (137 for 173), and I felt very comfortable when RK was at the line. So, like RK, Destinee gets to the line a lot...

Thanks for the excellent explanation, Brian! My wife and I were totally befuddled watching the game, thinking we've never seen an inning go to 4 outs. I went back and watched the replay of that part of the game on ESPN and see that the announcers missed it, because at that time, their topic had...

It's so refreshing listening to a coach with a great attitude and kindness who is not a whiny sore loser like coaches Sulky Mulky and Aurienema when they get their tales whipped. I wish Coach Cullop and her team all the best in the future -a ton of class.

Hollingshead and Striplin have both improved immensely since the season started. Getting more playing time, especially since Key has been out, has no doubt helped. Striplin has had some excellent games of late. She did not start out doing so well against Uconn, while Hollingshead was one of the...

I fully understand what you're saying. I guess it's the "elephant in the room." It's difficult to ignore one of the top players on the team, the SEC, and the country sitting on the bench throughout the first half of a close game with no prior explanation from the coaching staff and barely a word...
