Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2549082, member: 26"] I hate Tennessee as much as is possible, but boy that presser was hard to watch. Holly close to tears, no idea why her team played the way they did, no idea what to do, and no idea how to coach them. But the thing is, if Tenn played the way they were supposed to (meaning, doing what they are supposed to be good at), they should have won. Tennessee is supposed to be good at defense and rebounding. Part of the problem is no one on the coaching staff seems to understand the concept of help defense, rotational assistance, etc., and therefore, none of the players understand it either. And Holly lacks the fire in her belly that Pat perpetually had. Combine that with anything resembling any kind of offense, and you have what you have a - a team reeling with 4 losses in their last 6 games, and one of those wins was against a Wilson-less SC. With the sheer amount of HS AA's on that team (7 currently, and they will have 7 again next season), even a chimp could coach successfully there. And truthfully, if you listen to what a good number of BY'ers (and even Tenn fans) have to say, it appears that they could coach better too. BUT... the problem is that Holly is recruiting gangbusters. Not sure there's any other coach who could recruit better. Probably coach better, but not recruit better. [/QUOTE]
