Message: [QUOTE="DefenseBB, post: 2636252, member: 7492"] I watched the Holly presser and I know some are showing empathy for her but I am highly irritated as quite a few items become crystallized for me: 1. Holly is very nice, committed to the Lady Vols but she acts more like the kind grandmother, who dotes and loves the kids, wanting someone else to teach the hard lessons to them. The stress is evident in every press conference, her lack of authority to command the program says she is not cut out to be a head coach. 2. She needs to ACT like a head coach and not cry at press conferences. You can’t make a statement like “I’m a fighter” while crying. Her voice was quivering for the whole presser. It’s basketball game that you just lost, not someone’s death. You want to cry when discussing Russell and Nared as their last game, fine, but compose yourself before and after. This happens at far too many of these for her and it is unbecoming. 3. You can’t say you earned the #3 seed one minute and then say you had some bad losses the next minute. And then get defensive over criticism about being a #3 seed in the 3rd minute. Yes, you earned the #3 seed, why mention it all? 4.To bring up the negativity that the program is receiving as well the criticism the the players themselves at this presser as an example to point out how “resilient” the kids are is absurd. Address the negativity to the fans and state if the team underachieves, it is not on the players but on you. 5.It really is time to retire and take on a role more suited to her subdued and emotional and caring personality.
