"They are a good team; I know they are 1-7 and missing two of their best Players, But they jumped on us early." REALLY HOLLY? You beat 1-7 Stetson by 10 after getting blown out in the first half? Great Job! You just aren't the one, Dear.
We didn't play defense in the first half, we played defense in the 2nd half. Holly got on the players at half-time and we saw the difference with the team.
Stetson is a good shooting team when you don't play defense. 44% from 3 and 52% fg in the first half. That's pretty good shooting team when left open. The team was uninspired in the first half and they didn't come to play defense. I know CPS never had that happen to her and CPS never had to go into a locker room at half-time and let the players have it....
The team thought they had the game won before tip-off and it showed. CPS would have called out players names in the post-game interview, Holly doesn't coach that way. Your post is asking Holly to call out players in the open. That's not how she coaches and she won't be doing that. She called out the players she needed to behind closed doors and she handles it that way. The team recovered this game after a coaching intervention at half-time. Kudos to the coaching staff for calling out the players and waking them up.
You're criticizing a coach because "she said something" ... How about you save your post for a time when the coaching staff doesn't do something which in turns leads to a loss for the team? And believe me, a time will come for that this year., Holly isn't gold in my eyes. But last night she did her job when she saw her team played awful.
I thought it was just on the football side. A win is a win, even by ONE point. They do not give style points. I am sure they came out a little flat and thought they could win by showing up. That has happened throughout history. Once they got smacked in the face a bit, they came out and crushed them in the second half. That is how a good team is supposed to recover when they start out sleepwalking.At this point there are obviously fans who would rather see us lose than see Holly coach another game. Pretty sad honestly.

Pruitt told the the truth as for Holly the players are not the problem. The problem is Holly and Fulmer basically gave her permission to finish off what Pat built. People can defend her all they want. Holly has no business being the HC.I'm the farthest thing from a Holly defender, but what do you expect her to say... pull a Pruitt and say well the players suck I need to recruit? Don't think that'd go over well with our womens basketball program, just my opinion
HOLLY IS NOT what the Lady VOLS need as a HC to be in the top of the land. She just isn't! Anybody with 2 unbiased eyeballs can see that. She's had plenty of time to prove what she can do at a school that supports lady basketball like few others. She'll keep UT in the top 10 - 15 but for a return of UT Lady Vol greatness on a continuous basis we need a better coach.
