Holly Tags One of their Own for Assistant C

Gordon was a fantastic player. The first superstar at Tennessee. She graduated as all time leader in points, and steals. Now as a coach I know there are some that didn't care for this hire. I'm willing to see how it works. I have seen some positive comments from former players.

While I am sure that Gordon is a very good coach, my only thought is that Holly and all of her assistants are around 5o years of age or greater. Clearly, there have been some issues between players and the coaching staff. Holly might have considered adding a younger coach to her staff that has more in common with the players.

Agreed. I do not know a ton about Gordon's track record as a coach, but I'd imagine that finding a top rate younger assistant was no easy task for Holly, especially this late in the offseason. Most of the solid assistants were likely scooped up earlier in the offseason and Gordon was probably the top option out there.

I also can't imagine being Holly's assistant is a very sought after position at this point considering the program has taken a downward spiral and the longevity of staying at Tennessee is in question with Holly on the hot seat if results don't improve in the next year or two.

I never was to Knoxville, but was to a number of final four games when T was in its prime [Philadelphia, Tampa, New Orleans, Atlanta and San Antonio are some I remember] . Forget Pat, T fans were just plain beligerant. I personally dont care if we ever play them.

Padutch5- - - -I agree 150%! That's why this horrible coaching/play at TN recently while UCONN is tearing up WCBB is so satisfying because the majority of TN fans are biting their tongues in disbelief that the Huskies are really the TOP DOG of a program!
