Don’t know what she could possibly say to make me feel any better about this season at this point. Hopefully they can turn this thing around but we may lose out. How sad would that be for Lady Vol fans.

It’s not her job to say something to make you feel better. It’s her job to answer the questions asked, openly, with little pretense.

Not asking her to make me feel better. I’m asking her to be the CEO of one of the best woman college basketball teams ever. She hasn’t proved to me that she can do that. I didn’t ask her to make me or anyone else feel better! I just want her to do her job.

I didn't read into jacksonvol's comment AT ALL that he/she thought Kim's goal in this interview was to make them feel better. I read it simply as that he had watched the interview and realized that despite her saying some hopeful things, basically his not-so-hopeful feelings about the team are too deep to get past.

Folks get too literal up in here sometimes! 😣

0:24 [things the players need to get better at…] “limit their fouls”

She didn’t say, ‘Get the refs not to call our fouls.’

Her directness is refreshing.

Being an analytics person, I’m sure Kim knows that one of the bugs of her system is high foul rate. It’s cited as one of the reasons this system never caught on.

Obviously, anytime you guard closely full court and trap aggressively, you’re prone to foul more. Trapping also causes scrambling players to foul more in half court due to being out of position.

Excessive fouling not only obviously gives your opponent more chances to score, it also creates the stoppages that work at cross purposes to the system. When you depend on wearing the opponent down, every stoppage is a loss.

Two delusions we’d do well to get rid of: that the overfouling in this system can be taught away, and that our foul totals being consistently greater than our opponents is a ref conspiracy. Neither is true.

Exactly. Thank you sir/ma’am.
