LV 45-41, 7 to play

Tennessee, the other UT, will most likely be like the Dallas Cowboys and settle for what they have. Jerry Jones has bought into Jason Garrett and the same will probably be true about Warlick at UT. I don't expect to see a change for many years.

You may be right, but if they are smart they will offer the job to Kim Mulkey tomorrow! I know she has a good gig where she is, and would likely turn it down, but Tennessee is the best job in all of women's basketball! She would be perfect for that job and could conceivably regenerate a real rivalry with UCONN that might even be legitimately competitive!

Until the Tenn Administration, and Pat admit what they did, why and that it was wrong there will never be a UConn Tenn series again unless they meet in the NCAAs. The damage done by Tenn goes deep at UConn and to everyone the called out.

I agree that Mulkey at UT would be HUGE. Most UCONN folks already dislike her, so it would be an easy transition for her in that sense. But I don't expect UT to make a change anytime soon, and when they do, I don't think Mulkey would accept. Also, a lot of LV fans hate Mulkey. Hmmm...I see a trend developing.

I do think that the UCONN vs Baylor game demonstrates how good Mulkey is. She had those Baylor players believing that they could win that game and I think Baylor is the only team this year that truly felt that they could compete with UCONN. Being a good coach is not, IMO, as much about Xs and Os as it is about teaching your players to compete, and Mulkey certainly has a way of transferring her competiveness to her players.

Do you really think that is ever going to happen?

 

[Tonyc]

NO I don't and that's why there will NEVER be a Tenn UConn matchup unless its in the NCAAs.

Recently, Holly has ramped up her coaching with new ideas. She's now giving out "Heart pins" when a player plays with "heart". In a press interview Kyra Elzy was asked if anyone got a heart pin after the Miss State game. Her reply, everyone got a heart pin, we won the game.

Sheesh!

I think Warlick has at least 2 more years. If at that point they haven't gotten to a final 4, then she could be in trouble.

I'd see leading contenders as Nikki Caldwell, Dawn Staley, and Cori Close, with Coquese Washington, Kevin McGuff, Walz, and Matthew Mitchell as possibilities.

Cori still has a bunch to prove, but she's already shown she's a great recruiter. If she can turn that into Ws, she will be in high demand.

Some interesting conversation.....

TonyC - AMEN brother!!! No more series!

I don't think even the UT administration is as dumb as Jerry Jones is..... check that.... Jerry is making money and getting everyone talking about the drama which is the Cowboys.... but fans want the objective to be a super bowl, not a great show.

I hadn't known about the heart pin..... my thought is..... you cannot give someone a heart "transplant" ... you have to instill it always, and transmit it.... ala Jim Harbaugh.... and Pat in her prime.... would not tolerate passive behavior......

I think UT should get a tiger of a coach to be at the helm..... but Nikki? Are her exploits to be revered? Mulkey Walz and Mitchell wont leave many say...... McGuff, yes I know he just got to Ohio St, but that is a thought.... many at TN want Tyler..... needs to get more experience.....would be nice to see some younger female coaching prospects coming up and not on the backside of their careers......

Another thought about the UT administration..... they have their hands full now.... with men's basketball.... they won't do it, but bring back Pearl..... and football...... do you think they regret sacking Fullmer?

Do they get orange slices at halftime and pizza after the game too?
