And for all you naysayers,here is a little food for thought. Kellie grew up in Sparta,Tennessee,the daughter of a successful high school coach. I'm sure that during that time,she absorbed many points in coaching,and I would bet that she took to it more so than some one who sat at Pat Summitt's side for thirty years.
During her playing career,she recovered from knee surgery in three months,and led a ten loss Lady Vol team to a national championship. Two years later,she suffered a sprained ankle in the national semi finals and spent something like 36 hours in the training room with Jenny Moshak to rehab the ankle so she could play in the championship game. And play she did.
There may have been tougher players as Lady Vols,but I don't remember one. That is something that has almost disappeared from this Lady Vol team. Instilling toughness to this team,along with some heart and confidence will help the entire team chemistry. If she can get the current Lady Vols and recruits to play with a semblance of her passion,this could become a very good team. No more nonchalance,but play always with heart and purpose.
Go Lady Vols!!
