After watching the men play yesterday and watching the women play today, i notice that neither team can hit lay ups, hit foul shots in pressure situations, or play aggressive perimeter defense . The Lady VOLs seem to shoot better from the outside.

Josh Richardson notwithstanding.

It seems that neither basketball team has the killer instinct to compete. Sometimes it looks like they are just going through motions.

In today's women's college basketball there are 20-30 really good teams and programs, being in the top ten is not a bad thing. Also a Pat Summitt only comes along every 100 years or more. It would be great to have the next Pat Summitt, but not very likely. Any one who follows a living ledgend will be judged inadequate. I agree that if recruiting falls off and we begin to not go deep into the tournament it will require a change. But until then this was Pat's pick and I trust her evaluation of a coach more that our very intelligent posters.

No offense, but I think Pat's evaluation is suspect and probably colored by the loyalty of a 30 year association with Holly.

Would have liked to have seen Warlick take over a major program years ago in order to judge her head coaching acumen. That many years without getting a top job....definitely a red flag.

How high was Florida Gulf Coast recruiting the last five years? How about Belmont? Gonzaga? Yes these are men's program, but the point is it is easier to build a BB program because you only need three really good player a a solid supporting staff and good coaching to have some success.

Is this supposed to be a reason why the Lady Vols aren't a top five team this season?

I agree she needed to venture out on her own for a bit and make her own way, but I'd be willing to bet she passed up opportunities to interview elsewhere knowing she'd be first in line right where she's at. I think many of us knew probably as far back as 10 yrs ago that she would be given the first opportunity to succeed CPS. I personally don't agree with the opportunity afforded her, but I always knew it was a distinct likelihood.

No just a response to the idea that UK should not beat us as we have had much better recruiting classes. Basketball is much easier to have a great season with so called "less recruits". That was the point.

Correct. Too many get on this site and blame the coaches for every loss. Not one TN coach made any of the Lady Vol's 22 turnovers and not one coach shot a paltry one for five from outside the 3-point arch.

So you can't coach ball security or good decision making?

Hart is head of the programs. IMO, he doesn't seem to be motivating any of his coaches.

this could be a problem,of course nobody will know for several years

Coach Holly Warlick is just doing just fine as far as this being her 2nd year as a head coach,Elite 8 last year and being projected as a 2 seed in the Tournament this year and ranked 10th

coach Martin is sorta doing like Coach Warlick,living in a shadow of who coached before,but the results are different,if he had a top 10 rating for his team,there wouldn't be all the bring back Pearl threads

Another similarity is that both of their biggest recruits (Hubbs and Russell) were complete busts their first years.
At least Hubbs is injured.

There are no similarities in men's and women's sports. Any fool that cant see that is a liberal homo. Take the 'Oh my God, the womens hockey team lost to Canada'. Did any of you watch that pathetic bull****? Who cares who won that game? The game was slow with a bunch of girls playing it. Looked like little kids out there.
