Is she resisting throwing in the towel, for sure, but I would GUESS that has a lot to do with quitting while capable was not in Pat's play book... But, I would bet she will exhibit class at the when this job is no longer hers. Once again because that too is a Pat requirement...
Agree completely, and not only because I said exactly this on another thread. This is a terrible towel to have to throw in. What a painful admission for Holly that she simply is not up to the task handed her by her beloved dying mentor.
Painful as that is, its beyond time because very real damage to the program is obvious. Just a glance at the long and terrible list of nega-firsts shows this. If Holly actually doesn't get it yet out of some sense of self-protective denial, its time for her employers as well as those closest to her to stage an intervention.
While Pat would absolutely not want Holly to quit while capable, she would definitely want her to admit when she's not capable and is hurting the program and more importantly, the players. If Holly has to be dragged away kicking and screaming, that will not be the class exit Pat would have demanded. The window of opportunity for classy exit is closing fast; in fact, next week after the season ends may be the last chance for that.
Regarding the OP question, I feel that my support, as a 25 yr fan, is more for the program than a particular team or group of players. Ordinarily I wouldn't dream of separating the two, but these are not ordinary times. There's a greater good question here, not only for the future of the program but for the future of the current players who have eligibility left.
Therefore I reluctantly could wish for a loss as opposed to a few wins that send us on a fool's errand of doing more of the same. It not my first choice, and its a terrible feeling. Its why I kind of hoped they would not make the tourney and just end this miserable season before any more damage is done. Fortunately, as pointed out above, for all my mental agonizing, whether I pull for em or agin em is not going to make much difference. They are totally capable of tanking all on their own with input from their current coach.
