Message: [QUOTE="Bayareahusky, post: 3092578, member: 2136"] Well she isn't going to win that game... if she is still there as coach.... Tennessee has to think long term.... because if they do not get a teacher and a coach worthy and demanding of respect, neither of which they have had under Holly... then they will slip into irrelevancy... they are almost there now..... It is just a hot mess down there..... what would Tenn be if it did not have the history of Pat Summit.... and how much do they still matter.... i do not know.... Holly's first season as HC she had the "Grind for 9" slogan.. but ever since then you have not heard anyone from Tennessee speak or hint at the prospect of another National Championship..... I was just thinking today..... TN owes a big card of thanks to Candace Parker.... for single-handedly bringing them their last 2 championships.... Pat was out of her prime as coach.... still stressing defense and rebounding in an era when WCBB was in the midst of change and varying offensive schemes.... it had been a decade since their last title.... and Candace brought them 2.... now it has been another decade.... with watered down schedule and precious few signature wins..... Also thinking today of the many coaches who could make a difference down there.... the fan boards all want Becky Hammon, or Jeff Walz, or Kara Lawson... people who would not go there for that gig.... but the Quinnipiac coach and any number of good coaches i saw today would be an improvement over Holly..... Oh Holly.... complains all the time about her team "quick shooting" but lets it happen.... complains about her team's lack of effort.... but lets it happen.... (why not give those who do not show pride in their play or indifference a long seat on the bench?) complains about too many turnovers but doesn't work on correcting it..... now she is ready to go back to the fundamentals this coming summer and seek a fresh start for the program.... kinda what she should have been doing each and every season for the entire length of her tenure....
