Game Thread Lady Vols at Ole Miss

[teacherdean]

The women's game has evolved a lot in the last 10 years. The days of women's basketball coaches staying at a top D1 school for 30 years and not going far in the tournament should be over, as well as it should be. They should be treated like the coaches in the big men's D1 programs, win or move on. Far too many women's D1 teams mirror the AA conference including coaches who have been at the helm way too long. There is far too much concern over meeting Title IX than pulling a winning product on the court.

That being said, as long as Holly wins and does well in the tournament she will be untouchable. We might not like how she gets there, but all that will matter to the university is that she gets there. It does not matter that I do not like her interview or coaching skills. Now once the program truly heads south and we start losing good recruits one would hope that the university sends Holly packing, sooner than later.

if Russell could have been ready this year and Jones ,just think how much better they could be ,Russell was backing up Izzy fine last year on some bad wheels,they have missed an excellent opportunity

time will tell,this years team isn't done by a long shot

Why do people harp on how Holly sounds in interviews? To me she sounds a lot like many other coaches, I've heard, and a lot like Pat Summitt too. I guess some people are just looking for ways to criticize Holly.

Why not? They were a top 4 team entering the season. They currently project as a #1 seed. Holly deserves praise if she gets it for the third straight year, but on the other hand it doesn't reflect well if she squanders a top seed again by failing to reach the Final Four....

We can count on teacherdean (who I hope never attempted to teach grammar), armchair and darth to harp on the coaching staff. It gets monotonous.
