No social media for LVs during season. Thoughts?

[TRest]

Stewie, Tuck, Moriah, KLS and Collier all have their FB page, but they are operated by fans not by them.

That's not creepy at all.

Those are only the ones we are allowed to see. I'm sure they have real ones with for their friends and family that are hidden. KLS for example has a fan page and a regular account. If not Facebook, they definitely are on other social media sites operated by themselves since many of them posted family pictures at Christmas last week.

There are and have been a lot of problems with the LV program. Discipline is one of them. Having key players telling the players what to do and not the coaches. Making a total commitment to the team and winning and the coaches holding them to it. One problem the LVs have had is fear to discipline key players for fear of losing a game or the player. This is a program that is run almost to often by the players. Every year Tenn has great players and every year the pollsters rank them a top the polls only to have them fall out. The problem isn't the players the problem is leadership from the coaching staff. Tenn can no longer out talent opponents like they did in Pats days. There are to many well coached teams with lesser talent that can beat them. There need to be some changes at Tenn and it wont happen until the alums make a commitment to the LVs and right now theyre commitment is to football not the LVs.

I found the players post game press er after the Stetson game to be troubling when both Diamond and Tea referred to Coach Warlick as Holly. You can find the presser at the Lady Vols site. Diamond also made a few comments about the team giving her space to do what she does sounded a little condescending also.

On a different perspective Diamond made a few passes in that game that although did not turn out to be assists the passes were the best I have seen from any player since Diana.

Bite your tongue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

funny -- I read that Diamond received a Mercedes as a Christmas present from her brother, and wondered the impact of THAT on team chemistry....

It shouldn't have any impact on the team - it came from her brother and she's a grown woman.

I think it's admirable of Tenn to realize that their program has problems and what better program to look to see how it is done than the #1 WCB program UConn. Perhaps the Tenn staff will take advantage of coach Auriemma's generosity and attend UConn practices to learn from the best.

I love how everyone is an expert on Tennessee and believes they know exactly what's going on.

The social media decision was made by the coaches and blessed by the players. Why? Because people were making contact with the players through social media and being disrespectful (on many levels) and Holly and staff decided to go with a decision to hopefully limit the amount of negativity weighing on the players minds. Lack of discipline? That's laughable. Tennessee's long standing standards of holding players accountable for on and off the court actions is one of the biggest smear tactics used against the program in recruiting. The team has had it's fair share of issues this year yet none of them has denied it and have noted that it is a focus of the coaching staff to continue working on the product on the floor and get them used to respecting and feeling comfortable with each other, regardless of what their friendship is like off the court. This is something that every single program has to deal with from time to time. The most recent championship group at Tennessee largely couldn't stand each other yet Pat got them to understand it did not have to transfer to the game. Holly and staff are fine... save your worries.

You should know us by now. We are not only experts on TN and UCONN, but on ev-er-y-thing.

LOL, you don't know women very well.

LOL, you don't know women very well.

Well, with no sisters and obviously no wife, that's an astute observation.
