I thought the media was stirring the pot. The linked clip earlier in the thread, she mostly said "no comment." They were asking her leading questions about the state of the program and coaching staff.

Media is always trying to stir the pot. Look at most articles these days, they are trying to provoke people over nothing.

She said no comment and didn't say much but I personally wouldn't have went there with the coaching staff comment but that is just me. I just thought the question was a bit highly inappropriate to a player coming off a loss in the NCAAT.

How can You judge a person if You don’t know her personally? I love how people on message Boards try and determine how nice someone is. When they’ve never met the person.

I am only basing it on what I said in my post - I don't think that any player should talk publicly about the coaching staff in a post game interview.
And I just love all these "holier than thou" types that visit message boards.

Never said I was Holier than thou far from it. I just said I find it funny. That people wanna say someone isn’t a good person because of a few things You’ve seen and she was the one asked the question. Blame the people asking the questions.

Frenetic start to Oregon St.-Boise St. Both teams started hot and then cooled off. Pivec has missed several bunnies. Maddie Washington played fairly well early in the season, then completely disappeared. She's got a couple buckets already today. BSU double Slocum at the top of the key and left Washington completely by herself for a layup on one of them.

Interesting I don't think I see this being discussed on Volnation.

A kid saying no comment is definitely something.

And if asked if their coach was gonna be back, most people would say "I hope so."

I don't mind her saying anything about the coaching staff. It's not like she was specific. She said her team has "off the court issues" and that "steps need to be taken" when talking about the coaching staff. It's vague, so it's not like she's throwing anyone under the bus. But she's basically telling the truth.

Glad to hear your opinion.

18-12 OSU after 1Q. I don't really like the way they are playing. Streaming it now because ESPN switched to Baylor-Abilene Christian. I couldn't be less interested in that game.

 

[Orangutan]

And if I was Holly and was told that I would be back, I would dismiss Evina, no matter how "good" she is. IMO, she is not a good teammate or person.

The constant in the dysfunction and poor play year after year is Holly. Driving away more talented players isn't going to change that. Hayes, Cooper, DeShields, and Westbrook have all been identified as the problem at various times. But no matter who goes, the unrest remains.

She can't get talented players to play well. If she runs off the the talented players for disloyalty, she'll just have untalented players playing poorly.

Winning has a way of fixing off the court issues. Get a coach who can cultivate the players' talents properly and suddenly these off-the-court issues will go away...

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU starting to pull away 27-15. Can't hit a 3 to save their life though. It's bizarre to me that a team that has been so good behind the arc for so long absolutely can't shoot the ball the last month or so.

 

[nwhoopfan]

20-0 Baylor. Come on ESPN, switch games. This is pathetic. As non-competitive as you can get.


edit--looks like Iowa St.-New Mexico St. is a nice battle.

 

[Reypl21]

Abilene Christian has a player named Makayla Mabry. I heard the name a few times and had to look it up myself.

 

[Zanzman]

Why does Espn think we want to watch 26-3 Baylor game leave it for Waco and give us competition

 

[SECbbfan24]

Baylor entire freshman class is already put in the game

 

[nwhoopfan]

Boise St. cut a 14 point lead down to 4. Oregon St. back up 9 now.

 

[nwhoopfan]

OSU 36-28 at halftime. I really don't like what I'm seeing from them. Might be lucky to get to the Sweet 16 this year. 1-8 behind the arc, most of them were wide open. They have to start knocking down some shots. Pivec w/ 12, pretty much all on layups and free throws. Slocum has been sitting w/ foul trouble.

 

[nwhoopfan]

After Q1 of Gonzaga vs. Little Rock, I thought UALR might be the worst team in the Tourney. Nope, looks like it's Abilene.


edit--I'm sure Baylor is playing great. Just a humongous mismatch.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Stanford came to play today. 29-9 at end of Q1.

 

[Carnac]

So this means she’s coming back!!??

Like Felix the Cat use to say..................................Righty-O
C'mon Geew1992, where would Tennessee women's basketball be without Holly?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Refs trying to make this game competitive. Some real garbage calls against Stanford.

That foul on one of the Hulls on a screen was ridiculous.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Slocum starting Q3 dribbling the life out of the ball and throwing passes to no one. She's not looking good at all today.

 

[SECbbfan24]

I am curious what DeCosta's role for Baylor is gonna be next year. She has looked really good this back part of the year after being out and injured for the first part. Girl can shoot and create off the dribble.

Based on the way the S curve works, isn't Abilene supposed to be the weakest team in the Tourney?

 

[nwhoopfan]

Put OSU on upset alert. They look sketchy. Slocum is struggling. Other than Pivec none of them are playing particularly well. Up 5, Boise St. will be shooting FTs after the commercial break.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Probably, but based on their placement of UALR and Mercer, hard to take the committee's word for it.

 

[DaBball]

Oregon State just doesn’t strike me as a great team anymore. They really, really fell off.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Tied up now. OSU has turned into Keystone Kops. They look completely inept.

 

[nwhoopfan]

Oregon State just doesn’t strike me as a great team anymore. They really, really fell off.

That week where they beat Oregon, UCLA and USC was the end of their season. They've been awful since then.
