Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 3002796, member: 7492"] I trust you are not serious on this. Coach Jumper has been banned by Holly from coaching any of her players during the off-season due to his very pointed criticism directed at her coaching. Before any player can work with personal trainers, they have to be approved by the school/coach and Coach Jumper, most assuredly is not. I find some of the names bemusing and downright dumb. Many on VolNation keep bringing up Gail G which is bizarre as she WAS HORRIBLE at Texas and what makes anyone think she would be better at Tenn. she has now been out of the networking game for 6 years as well. Lindsey Gottlieb was also mentioned and her trend is spiraling down. Her resume is average at best and no way would I turn this over to someone whose record is regressing. To me, Wes Moore at 61, seems too old for a move especially given what he’s building at NC State but he was an assistant at Tenn. NONE of the Tenn former players who are now coaches have done anything to warrant getting this program and frankly, they need to find new blood/pedigree to advance this program into 2020’s. Pat’s philosophy was outdated 10 years ago. I think it is great theatre to watch and something UConn can learn from. If, for example, Kara does reconsider coaching and takes the job and is successful, that might pave the way for Shea, Sue Bird or Diana Taurasi to come in. If she fails, then UConn would need to rethink a priority on experience in recruiting and D1 coaching. [/QUOTE]
