So. This is what the bottom looks like…

well it is OK it is not like we were competing for supremacy this year all of our challenging games were backloaded

Don't Lady VOLS usually stick it out and graduate. I'm so sad about what's happening. Hopefully Danny has talked to players/coaches and found out why such a huge turnover.

Think coaches are supposed to get everybody on board. Thought coaches were supposed to help develop team chemistry. The problem is the coach , not the kids.

ultimately absolutely true it is all on the coach..... which brings the question why couldnt she get her recruits to buy in?

 

[LasVegasBill23]

So you think Tennessee will make the tournament next year? Lol

Lady Vols need to combine rosters with Iowa State and try to get 5 gals out on the floor to play

It really was the place to be then, and I have so many fond memories of it. I remember you and some of the others on this board who were also there. For the life of me, I cannot remember my screen name there, but I posted a lot then. I know it had something to do with my Jackson, MIssissippi days.

It was a lot of fun
Also the Espn board was a hoot and perfect place for lvs and uconn fans to do battle

Because she was recruiting a different type of kid to play her system. She’s never had access to a program like Tennessee, she’s had to get the blue collar, second tier with something to prove. Here she plugged in better players into a system that didn’t work. Losing makes everyone not buy in.

It will be interesting to see what KC can do next year. The narrative is that she can do absolutely nothing, but she wasn't helped by Whitehorn's antics requiring dismissal, the Pauldo twins' focus on building their brand above the team, and Cooper's hit and miss effort. Barker did not seem like a good team fit either. I will miss Hurst and Boyd, two underused players, imo. I liked Latham as well.

Caldwell has no margin for error, and she must build the roster wisely and examine her own failures in the why this team quit (toughest thing for a coach to do).

 

[LasVegasBill23]

Let her go to LSU, I won’t care. Kim mullet yells at players and this player has said she doesn’t like when a coach yells at her, she’s mentally weak. She also likes to yell at coaches and brush them off, let her go to LSU, and watch how long Mulksy will deal with that behavior.

exactly my thoughts as they say "That dog don't hunt" in baton rouge attitude with kim will get you a seat on the bench

I’m not even inspired enough to take up arms against the AD.

I have nothing personal against Coach, but how the hell does she survive this?
They really are going to hang on for one recruit, and what happens if she changes her mind?
This program is bigger than any coach and any player.
It’s time to move on. I hope I’m eating these words in a few years.

Now we will find out if the seemingly-obvious problem with the culture was the coach or the players.

If it was the players, and HCKC brings in a new roster and gets them to buy in, and they play hard each and every game, then it was (mostly) the players.

If she brings in a new roster, and the same issues show up, and most of them leave after one year, then it’s the coach. And time to remove the coach.

I am totally in the wait-and-see mode about this. Time will tell.

So much I could say but tired lol but you are right she has no room for error and that’s not a great place to be in the SEC

I think she can bring in players that can play hard but if they play hard and get blown out that won’t help the cause or for me warrant another year … I think we finish 6th- 10th in the sec again next year and that in itself would warrant her removal as they two previous coaches far exceeded that.

I just can't believe we signed Edwards and now here we are with this mess. It will always haunt us!
