Coaching not the talent is the issue and this is just another example of why this assessment is correct. Anyone watching a Lady Volunteers game quickly comes to the conclusion that Holly and staff do not have a offensive or defensive plan that they stay with - it's pathetic and you don't have to be a basketball expert to see it.
I've wondered for a number of years now why Pat would select Holly as her replacement? Pat's illness came on quickly to the public eye but I believe she was having issues long before we as fans were aware of it and then after it was announced she deteriorated rather quickly. After her announcement it became apparent that she was struggling and Holly was a big help to her, having said that I believe that as her health failed that it became much easier for Holly to convince Pat and the decision makers to let her assume Pats role as head coach....BIG MISTAKE!
I watched Pat Summit over her entire career, it is my opinion that Pat knew several things including the fact it would be hard on anyone to replace her and also she knew exactly what kind of coach Holly actually was and that she had no chance of being the coach that Tennessee needed or would require to maintain the high standards that had be established in her long and outstanding career, there's no way that Pat in good health would have thought Holly was the right replacement for her. Right or wrong Holly has had her shot it's time now for Fulmer and the other decision makers to provide a Holly a honorable way out as head coach, she has given her all to forTennessee for a long time and I would hope she would have a position with the department that would be a well earned reward for her contributions. She was a hell of player, a big help to Coach Summit and a very loyal supporter of the University but truth is she not the person for the Head Coaching position and never will be, I would be shocked if let go that she would have any offers to be a Head Coach for another university. One more time: Holly couldn't coach her way out of a paper bag......it's time to go. Right?
