Some observations:
● I thought the injury problems over the past few years should have given Harper the room for one more year. And, I thought she was doing a good job of rebuilding the program, albeit slower than some (probably including me) would have liked.
● The level of animosity toward her...
FWIW -- Jeff Walz is one hell of a coach. And recruiter. And builder of programs.
He is hard on his players, and pushes them. The interesting other side of that coin is that his players, almost to a woman, both love and respect him. (Reminds me of a former coach at Tennessee.)
He has built a...
I have heard more than once that to get to the Sweet Sixteen you need two outstanding players. To get to the Elite Eight, you need three. To get to the Final Four, you need four. And to win the whole thing, you need five (and a good bench as well).

This forum has been the only place I could follow the Lady Vols, since Rocky Top Talk doesn’t. But, I’ve been coming here less and less, due to the unbelievable ugliness toward the players and coaches. Calling HCKH a “bitch”? That’s now acceptable here?

So, I don’t post here very often, so perhaps I’ve seen more negativity than is actually on here.
But I have to say, after a win to get the Lady Vols back to the Sweet Sixteen for the first time in years, I’m frankly amazed at the negative comments -- calling out HBKH, calling out the players by...
I think that anyone throwing out "but others cheat, so the NCAA can't go after us" have not followed the actions of the XXXX organization very closely.
There is nothing, and I mean NOTHING, consistent about how the XXXX goes about its "oversight" role. The process is opaque, unbelievably...
Very sorry to see the way the game ended. As someone else stated, the "golf ball and trash incident" will forever be an asterisk on this season, no matter what the team does with the rest of the year.
And remember: there's reality, and there's perception. The reality is that some small...
