Message: [QUOTE="WBBTakeover, post: 4963762, member: 13257"] Let me say this with respect to this hire because I've had some more time to think about it. The platooning system may work or it may not. The recruiting may improve or it may not. Tennessee may get back to the Final Four in five years or they may not. But it's important to look at what's transpired here. A 35ish-year-old rising star coach saw what was happening at Tennessee (stagnation and a dip in results) and threw her hat in the ring, ultimately landing the job. In other words, a young coach was willing to sacrifice her future for this position (because if it doesn't work out, then there won't be too many P4 teams beating down her door immediately--she'd have to prove herself again at a lower level). That takes major guts, and I do applaud Kim Caldwell for [I]that[/I]. [/QUOTE]
