"Warlick has averaged 25.6 victories in her five seasons since taking over the program that Pat Summitt built into a national powerhouse. But she has won successively fewer games in each of the past three seasons, going from 30 wins to 22 to 20. And the past two teams haven’t come close to consistently playing up to their potential.

Moreover, players on the past two teams often looked as though they didn’t enjoy playing with one another. A coach can’t make everybody like one another. But a coach must help create team chemistry that’s conducive to success. She also must hold all players to certain standards on and off the floor.

The way this team has performed on the court makes me wonder what’s going on with it off the floor. More specifically, it makes me wonder about team discipline and whether Warlick is a strong enough leader to advance this program any further."

'Nuff Said!

I really believe that this should be a put up or get out year for Holly, especially if she continues to underachieve. This team is good enough with its present talent that they should not lose to teams like Alabama was last year, LSU or the cupcakes of the world. We can't keep ignoring facts because Holly is a good person. We have some very solid players.

One thing that should be for certain no matter the transfers still need to make the final four or make a change in coaching staff. Still have three seniors and number one class and top JUCO player to join them. We have to up the expectations or we'll never make a coaching change. Holly has a team with top five talent in the country they need to play like that.

John Adams is a self righteous old fart. He writes an article stirring up animosity toward Serrano. Serrano quits, so he starts feeling his oats elsewhere. Someone should have neutered him a long time ago.

When he retires, the KNS will be a much better paper. At this point, it can't no nowhere but up.

You're out of your fn mind. UT coaches are several of the most sheltered and softballed in the sporting world.
Tough questions and criticism is part of this arena and income bracket.
Adams has always made hay on his sarcasm in his oped. He is not a reporter.

your aunt's love of the women's program. He's commenting on the poor way you write. First, you don't capitalize the first word of sentences, which makes it difficult to read; and you don't spell words out, and you don't use commas, as you should--and so your words and sentences all run together. And you use 'n' for "and," which is lame. Take the time to write more properly. I'm not suggested that this group of fans is anything close to literary, mind you--most are weak writers themselves--but we should try to be halfway civilized at least. Good English is important.

This is as far as I read....Cooper’s decision is more puzzling. If you don't know why, Adams, you're an idiot. Diamond leaving the program is another no brainer. Trying to create drama where there is none.

Transfers happen.... and I would be reticent to paint the transfers with a broad brush from all kinds of different angles.... Having a transfer on your team does not necessarily mean you did a poor job with her... the player may have plenty of legitimate reasons to move elsewhere..... i hate that the mere fact you have a transfer is a black mark on your record....

Maybe, Coop wanted to have fun playing the game she loves!

Exactly who the Aunt is might make it more believable. Come on fill us in

Jackie Watson is the aunt,Lady Vol in the early to mid 70's. Jackie is younger sister of Curt and Patricia Watson and was one of the best female basketball players ever to come from Cumberland County. We all know that Curt,the "Crossville Comet",as dubbed by John Ward,is a VFL. I'm sure that Jackie and Patricia are also. Lvfan35years has previously posted that Jackie is her aunt.
