Lady Vols assistant Jolette Law leaving for South Carolina

Okay. Dan Fleser, the Lady Vols beat writer, included it in his story on Law so he must have heard it from Holly. According to Dan, Nicoletti has committed to FSU.

OK the news must have come today.

Such a failure. :cool:

I am not sure that this is a bad thing for TN obviously depending on who they get to replace her. She was on staff during the terrible recruiting period, and TN guard play has been in my opinion atrocious for a number of years. The recruit coordinator they hired two years ago has been the one being given credit for changing the recruiting fortunes at TN and not Law, though recruiting is cyclical and how any one member of staff affects the results is questionable from outside the program.

Well, at least she didn't commit to South Carolina!

Is she really that good? I mean I've seen her play at Nuese Baptist in Raleigh, NC on several occasions and she did look good for Brazil in the Fiba championships but how des she really stack up agaisnt American players? Is she really a top 5 player and one of the best guards in the 2018 class? She doesn't play AAU so we will never know ... but I remember Angela Salvadores being highly ranked a couple years ago and she didn't turn out to be a good as she was rated.

I don't want to high-jack the thread, but what is your sense of LV fans feel about Holly? Is she on a short leash, or are fans still all-in with her?

I haven't seen her. I have heard some good things. I don't think she is as blessed with the ability of DeShields for example. How good will she be at this leve? l we will see when she plays.

I still like her. I this is a very important year. Not only with this hire. Also this upcoming season. Hopefully there won't be any serious injuries. If not I think this year can be real good. This team return it's best three players. That helps this year's team also.
 
Dynasty Dawn, what she's after, and delegating the difficult parts is a smart move. She was tired of wringing her paper cones, not finding the right offensive mixes against UCONN and ND, her mouth curled in disbelief as her offensive sets fell apart. South Carolina has arrived, Tennessee has talent, ND will come back and the Ducks and the Beavers are expecting more good things. Let's hope the Huskies stay healthy and enjoy their Italy experience.
 
Amazing many TN fans think Holly can still bring home the bacon.... she has not been able to win with all stars in several years..... has admitted publicly that she didn't know how to fix the problem, and has had no scheme on offense.... I am glad it is not my issue to fix....

A lot of the talk is of the sort.... "If Holly does not start to show this year that she can do it".... etc etc.... wow.... it has been a 30 year career as assistant.... and 6 years working as head coach.... what are they waiting for? again, not my issue....

She has also delt with injuries to keyou players Harrison, Russell, DeShields and others. Not having Harrison against Maryland hurt in E8 game. I think Tennessee can win that game if she played.

I just looked up Amira Collins. It says she's from La Plata MD but went to Paul VI High in Fairfax VA. That is 50 miles, and with DC Beltway traffic could be a 2 hour commute!!!

Mikayla Vaugh (ND commit) from Philly area and Honesty Scott-Grayson from NJ play on that same team. I'm not sure what the living arrangements were and it does not appear to be a boarding school.

I understand she has had injury problems especially at guard position..... but IMO there is no excuse for the losses where her team just didn't show up..... Penn State Alabama 3 times, etc..... I would accept excuses for her if she didn't expose her problems right out in the open.... she has made many basic mistakes..... making me wonder why the admin is happy with her performance.... as a UC fan I am happy with her staying on of course.... I just feel sorry for you guys... the fans....

Make no mistake McCray was a big part of what SC did and was an excellent recruiter but Boyer and Chimel are the engines of the train and Dawn is the conductor. Both Chimel and Boyer are a big reason why we are so successful. They are both really hands on with the players and have a big hand in the offense we run.

According to Vandy Board it was Balcomb that won it for SC.
 
Teams that had Jolette law as a coach (HC/Asst) never won a championship.
Let's hope SCAR can continue the tradition.

Both have family/friends in the area. Paul VI is not a boarding school.

... Stringer fiddled with the dials, hooked up a coat hanger, and fiddled around some more until, loud and clear, the call sign for the Des Moines station came through. With her parents' blessing, Jolette Law went on to a stellar career at Iowa.

Back in the day, Hawkeyes' sports had primary coverage from two 50,000 watt (max legal limit) radio stations, WHO and WMT. They were reinforced by a couple dozen smaller, local stations, like the one where I worked. At night especially WHO would come banging in from Des Moines, giving the Hawkeyes coverage from the Rockies to the Atlantic. They (WHO) ran their 50kw 24/7, while WMT had to reduce power at night. These two stations were the cultural glue that held the fanbase together. Today, both stations have lapsed into political talk and similar rubbish. They do still carry the Hawkeyes, but Learfield Sports does all the actual production.
