Gary Blair. A coach who tells it straight, and who, at the same time, spends the first four minutes of his press conference defending Holly.
Overall, well-spoken, straight-forward & clear. Admirable guy. Want to hear more from him.

A bizarre thing happened in tonight's Washington-ASU game: Kelsey Plum did not hit a 3-pointer (she was 0 for 7). Plum had hit at least two 3-pointers in every game this season, which is pretty astounding. On the positive side, she was 13 of 20 on 2-pointers, and ended just one point shy of her season average, at 29 points. Osahor, meanwhile, was a total beast with 18 points and 18 rebounds as well as 2 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

The points he made were true: He said it's impossible to have a new person take over for a legendary coach and expect the exact same results. He said that for this very reason he has studiously avoided jobs like Louisiana Tech after Barmore retired. He said the coaches that followed him at his two previous jobs both failed. He talked about what happened at UCLA post-Wooden.

I doubt Pat Summitt would win any NC in this decade with the players Holly had.

Pat would have pulled stronger 2014, 2015 and 2016 classes than Holly was able to, so it'd be a completely different team dynamic.

Very gracious comments from Gary Blair. Warlick is doing a great job, compared her to the difficulties of coaches coming after John Wooden. Talked about "seven years from now" when Shea Ralph takes over from Geno Auriemma: she will have the most difficult job in America.

Intelligent, interesting, and gracious comments from Blair.

Well if you were coaching in the SEC, wouldn't you want to coach against Warwick?
