Pace and pressure

BTW Tennessee is #8 in polls. Too early preseason poll.
 
A nice freshman class, adding to a good group of returning players. Cooper, Whitehorn, Boyd, Spearman, Latham, and Wynn. I am looking forward to the season.

I think what this amounts to is a few extra 100+ point blowouts in the OOC and aiming for 85 ppg once conference play starts. I think Kim will be able to accomplish that with the talent she has.

I think Caldwell learned a lot from the past season. She will make some adjustments. I think this freshman class . Will make a difference. I wouldn't be surprised if 97 points was the normal average.

I'm really not in the mood to shoot fish in a barrel today, so I'll just assume this was intended as comedy.

Well the 87 average this past season was about 10 points higher. The the average of the previous season. That is just in the first year in this style of play .

Giving credit where due, she may emulate Holly Warlick and make an EE appearance at some point, or exceed the ennui Kellie Harper produced. Now that Vanderbilt is familiar with “this style of play”, I wouldn't be surprised if they beat the LVs more than twice in one season, :D

I think Caldwell will do better than Warlick and Harper did. I will say Final Four soon.
 
Perhaps Caldwell should be more concerned with how to break 60 points in a Sweet 16 game.

The only way Tennessee is going to average 97 points is to continue running up the score against the likes of Samford, W Carolina, Winthrop and NC Central.

I think the team for this upcoming season. It will be a more athletic team . Fit this style of play better.

Two. But…scoring points is not what ailed TN. Their problem was shot selection. You shot sub 32% from 3, but took the third most attempts in D1. And then..lost at least 7 or 8 games by a handful of points. Gotta fix that. Sometimes when you lead in a category (TN was 3rd in offensive rebounds in D1) it actually masks a problem…..in this case…poor shooting. TN also didn’t shoot a lot of FTs…and I’m assuming it’s because they took a lot of jump shots for 3 instead of penetrating and attacking the basket.

It was year one in this style. I think the team this year. Will be better fit for this style. The guard play with adding the twins and Robertson. Will allow more of the pace and pressure.

So is the twins and Robertson a upgrade? Over Spear and Spencer at guard position.
 
Per this tweet, Spear came to Tennessee to improve her chances in the WNBA, so I'll be curious to see whether her failure to get drafted has any impact on receptivity to the Caldwell Method among pro-ambitious players. Spears's stats, other than field goal attempts ("pace") and steals ("pressure"), are down year to year across the board, and I can't think this hockey line substitution approach affords potential draft picks the best chance to shine for W scouts. I ask because I am a little surprised no team took a chance on her, since this wasn't exactly one of the strongest, deepest drafts on record.

Ah, so Samford, North Carolina Central, and Winthrop are back on the schedule next year, I guess

I don't that would a negative for Caldwell. Look at Spearman foe example. She took five 3's at Miami. She took 80 this year. Her overall game is better. No player that got a lot of minutes has left.
