Not sure of the two players from Ole Miss but I assume one was Promise Taylor, I know a number of players transferred from Ole Miss when the coach was fired and I do not believe any were granted a waiver, not sure of the name but I know the girl that transferred to Alabama was also denied a waiver. I think Ole Miss did not agree with the waivers and that was enough for the NCAA to decline the waiver.
The girl who went to Troy’s was granted.
That was their opinion. Did they say what Westbrook should have answered? That reporter was trying to make a story instead of reporting one.Lobo had a big issue with it, which means there was something wrong about it, as did Landers.

“Lobo weighed in Sunday, saying she was “a little bit surprised that (Westbrook) brought the coaching staff into it.”
“Evina Westbrook is only a sophomore, but I was taken aback at her statement introducing the prospect of the coaches,” said Lobo, an Olympic gold medalist who played at Connecticut and in the WNBA, “because she’s been wearing that Tennessee uniform for two years. Holly Warlick has given 38 years of her life to that program. I thought she deserved a little bit more.”
Fellow analyst Andy Landers, the former longtime Georgia coach, agreed with Lobo.
“I think there’s people in place at the University of Tennessee who are capable, qualified and charged with making decisions as it relates to people’s employment,” Landers said. “Those aren’t the players. That’s the administration at the University of Tennessee. I think players step a little bit over the line when they try to make those kinds of decisions.”

As I wrote on March 23 2019 before Evina decided to come to UCONN and in the process apparently becoming "perfect" in the eyes of some. She did nothing right in this situation.
Not exactly! College players IMO should have no right to an opinion regarding how a University's administration goes about "staffing" a program.
Doubtful that the NCAA cares about what Evina said, even more doubtful it will have any impact on the waiver request.
Did you mean to say that college players should have no right to EXPRESS an opinion PUBLICLY about their university’s staffing decisions? Certainly no one can stop them from having an opinion about that, and in a private setting (such as if the athletic director asks them confidentially whether they think the coach is doing a good job), it may be appropriate to express a candid opinion. But they should refrain from making public comments.
Precisely.
This is the only reason I opened this thread.
No. No. No.
The trend---write a story any story.
JoePgh: Student complaint as all complaints should first take the proper path established for resolution. HOWEVER when that does not work---loudly, but be certain of your facts, make it public. All perceived abuse is actual abuse--all perceived crimes are crime--all insults are not always intended insults.
Some folks recently had issues with what lebron was doing, does that make it wrong?Lobo had a big issue with it, which means there was something wrong about it, as did Landers.

I didn’t know Allen Iverson was a member of the Boneyard! Welcome aboard...Practice? “ We're sitting in here, and I'm supposed to be the franchise player, and we in here talking about practice. I mean, listen, we're talking about practice, not a game, not a game, not a game, we talking about practice.”?
“We’ve got to fix some stuff,” Westbrook began before pausing again. Her gaze fell to the floor.
Well, on the surface yes, 1 player or the very small minority should not be making comments about the program. However when there is a preponderance of evidence, regular dysfunction, regular blaming of the player for issues BY the coach who isn’t coaching, complaints of lack of discipline on and off the court, then yes, players should speak their mind to get stubborn people to listen.
