It's hard to argue. I've been critical of Holly, but for the most part I think her players have liked her and play hard for her. This is the first time in her tenure I'm wondering if her team has quit on her...
They did quit, especially Davis and Jackson. However, Jackson quit some time ago. The players are discouragd by the lack of coaching leadership from Holly. They like Holly but she does not know how to coach college women basketball players. Holly will not quit due to the huge salary of the HC position. She should be fired immediately for her sake, the players' sake, the fan's sake and for the sake of the legacy of Pat Summitt.It's hard to argue.

For the first time since the NCAA sanctioned a Women's basketball championship tournament (1982), there is a strong possibility that Tennessee won't be a part of it. That would have to be the last straw for Holly. It just has to be.
Let Rick Barnes run a practice. A player turns the ball over--she does a 50-rep set on the VersaClimber. Miss a layup-- run the stairs. Can't make a FT-- do 100 after practice. Barnes is tough and so are his players. So was Pat and so were her players. Holly's team is soft because they haven't been pushed, and they're mentally fragile because toughness hasn't been demanded. If the talent and the want-to is there, the LVs can be fixed. If they've lost their will to win and pride doesn't drive them, then they'll end up with the program's first losing record and we'll see more players transfer.
That was the worst. I would like to say rock bottom (I hope so) but it could even get worse. A major embarrassment against ND and I think we will have reached the end of the line.It's hard to argue.
