Experience is what most people call development. Players that truly get better by the work they do away from the coach and the team.

There is plenty of evidence that the majority of our players have been as good as other stops and several times they have been better. Development is a little bit of a misnomer. These players have been training and working on their game since they were 8 years old. The ones that work the hardest...

There is no evidence that Kim can’t develop players or that it will hinder a players talents. I think it is a bigger worry that can she get players to buy in to her system. Paul Westhead stated that style of play is great when you get complete buy in from your team.

I don’t think you can be a starter and win a 6th person award or be a junior and win a freshman award. That is a ridiculous correlation.

How did Janiah regress? She averaged double the points, had the same fg% and shot much better from 3.Latham didn’t regress either. She just played more minutes at Syracuse. She didn’t exactly light the world on fire.

The Grinnell system was based off Paul Westheads system. None of the fast paced systems used actual plays and several teams don’t use plays. They use a motion type of offense. The Lady Vols use a 5 out dribble drive motion. It averaged 87 ppg in its first year and dropped to 77 this past yr with...

Which players?

She hasn’t had elite players yet. The sweet sixteen was a good start. She did a poor job constructing her second roster. It was a disaster. I hope she learned her lesson. The players that you mentioned weren’t ideal for the system. They were, however, good teammates and good for culture. They...

Didn’t know where to put this but I figured I would add it with the coaches responsibility talk from earlier.

Paul Westhead made an Elite eight in men’s college basketball utilizing a fast break offense/press system. He also won a WNBA championship utilizing his system although he did dial back on the press some. His team led the WNBA in scoring. I have doubts Kim make it work though.

None of the players that have chosen to come here have been upset about the system. They may use it as an excuse but they are upset about the turmoil inside the locker room and losing games. The rent wasn’t much issue last season amongst the team. Every girl knows what is required of her when...

There is also a decent chance she has a ballers mentality. She becomes a great leader and other players want to follow her. I know which one I am choosing.

I think it is pretty obvious that she did a poor job in constructing her roster. I don’t trust her at all but I hope she is successful and will be cheering for her. Go Lady Vols!!
