Woo, keyboard warrior. So many of these so called fans were the same ones in love with coach Warlick to the end.Get outta here with that BS, we all can pick apart a million things good and bad. What is a shame is lame bs posters on here calling true fans pumpers. Pump your way on back to wherever you came from. I am done just ignoring you punk so called fans
When Pat Summitt lost her first 'important' game to Mercer University she called home and spoke with her father. After telling her father that her team lost, he said "You don't take donkeys to the Kentucky Derby. You better get yourself some race horses." After that Summitt focused tremendously on getting top talent to Tennessee. In fact, Summitt herself said "You win in life with people. It's all about the people you surround yourself with, and what they bring to the game. It's a team and they have to do it together."
Now, in no way am I referencing our players as 'donkeys' - we have some good players. But if you want to be Elite, you have to recruit Elite players who know what it means to play together as a TEAM. This coaching staff needs to get more elite players and to do that, you've got to win the games you're supposed to and get a few upsets along the way. Your play needs to inspire recruits to want to come play for a coach like that. Do you think Rick Barnes doesn't get after his players during a game? Do you forget how Pat used to get after players during a game? I haven't seen any of that this year.
Barnes does not abide turnovers and pulls players from games who make them.
Harper should do this as well to make a point.
While I agree with the concept, thank you for reminding us of our limitations.I agree with the teaching power of the bench; however, Barnes has a great deal more quality depth than the Lady Vols and he can afford to impose this kind of lesson. If Harper goes this route there is a significant talent drop and she risks even more negative issues. The Lady Vols' roster simply needs more talent and more athleticism.

In year one Barnes went 15-19 with a 3* named Admiral and a bunch of blue collar kids. In year 3, it took him until his 3rd class to get a kid higher than a 3* and it was Pons. Year 3 his team also won the SEC Regular season. Barnes established a standard of winning with less before he got the "elite" type kids.I agree with the teaching power of the bench; however, Barnes has a great deal more quality depth than the Lady Vols and he can afford to impose this kind of lesson.
