I've been repeating this same question every year since before Pat ever had to step down. Why do we leave 4 scholarships on the table every year. As far back as I can remember, the LadyVols have hardly ever had more than 11 scholarship players on their roster. I can understand why Pat did it. It's hard to keep them all happy with playing time but Pat's eleven were always tougher and very coachable.
Monkey see - monkey do Holly has continued this pattern ever since she took over and all it results in are excuses from her every season. We're too young, the bench isn't deep enough due to injuries, etc. Many in this forum have questioned why they don't apply the full court pressure all game long since it does seem to be a strategy that works when deployed. You can't do it with a short bench for any length of time due to fatigue and having it turn into a negative outcome.
This is just another glaring example of why a change is necessary. All Holly knows about coaching is how to mimic what Pat did, minus the player development and the winning. In all fairness, I believe even Pat would be challenged with the egos of these me me me players coming out of high school today, but only for a short time. She would sit their asses. All Holly knows how to do is kiss their asses.
