Thoughts on CKC

[lvocd]

Or Vic. He would be like a father figure for her

I’m not picturing either Vic or Mulkey being all that interested in directly helping to make Kim Caldwell a stronger, more competitive coach in the SEC.

Even Pat went outside her league to ask for help. It would be way too big an ask to go to a current league opponent to get their help in learning how to beat them.

My thoughts is that she will be back next season if she finds a way to maintain most of this team that is eligible to come back. If were down to two freshmen coming in and two players coming back may need to use that April 1st pay out to completely change everything. Would probably need to be looking for a coach who not only had a great history, but also four or five players to follow them to Tennessee.
Will we have enough players to put five on the court come April 15th most interesting April for Tennessee Lady Vol basketball.

Beating the crap out of her is their only mission or anyone else they face in the SEC.

Oh, I agree though I wonder if Mulkey is close to retirement. She seems to be over it in some interviews. I picked Kim because she is one of the few coaches I have seen our Kim have an amiable discussion with. Mostly, she just needs to find someone accomplished, successful, and happy to mentor her.

Mulkey doesn't strike me as someone who will ever retire if her health holds.

The same amount of time it’ll take you to realize it’s the system CKC runs not the players.

Somewhat dissagree. Her system worked pretty good last year and there was alot of Hustle. This year there is no hustle, if u cant see on the court, players do matter. Turnovers, facial expressions. Body language, its all there. Players quit, not all it is evident but players laid down. We will be better next year. Put your pitchforks down. We havnt been that good Since Pat,so give it time, everybody wanted a UT Alum to coach, that wasnt good. Give Kim the Horse's that will hustle, then we will see.

Give her the horses that will hustle? Who will give them to her? Isn't it her job to round up the horses - and then make sure they hustle? And didn't she assemble most of the current horses? giddyup horsey

She has to do a better job in the portal. 2 of the 3 should have never been signed. She also has to do a better job on the fundamentals. Poor defense stopping the ball on fast breaks both years. That has to be corrected.

I've admitted I'm running short on hopium, and the only thing that will fill my tank is some Quality Results (QR). I've given up on any hope of seeing that on the floor with this team (and, no, not just the players, but the whole dynamic including players and coaches and, for that matter, players' advisors, which I suspect are a significant thing now). So, no QR on the floor, the next spot for QR is in personnel. I'm assuming Kim will be back, but will revisit should that prove incorrect. So, APRIL LOOMS LARGE. HOW MANY CAN SHE KEEP (INCLUDING CURRENT SIGNEES) AND WHO CAN SHE ADD? WHAT HAPPENS WITH ASSISTANTS? Until then, barring much better performance in the NCAAT than I expect, not much to talk about.
