That's true as far as it goes, but I don't think it goes far enough. For me, the essence of Pat Summit's legacy boils down to EIGHT national championships. So to restore that legacy we want national championships, and nothing less. So I would first want a coach who has won at least one of...
You've every right to do so. I engage in speculation here, too. That's not the issue. There's a big difference between informed speculation and just throwing things against the wall to see what might stick, OR, to help justify an agenda.
Strategically, it would make sense for her to wait until the annual firing season (during and after the next ncaa tourney) to have many more options. She consistently finish third in the SEC and made some Sweet Sixteens. That wasn't good enough for Tennessee, but it would be good enough for...
I doubt it was the final straw. That was just one game, and we were highly competitive with the best team and best coach in the country. I hope that White doesn't make a one game "shouldawonit" a significant part of his decision. Kellie was fired for poor high school recruiting and a history...
Good point. One thing needs saying: Mears played a 1-3-1 zone almost 100% of the time, which meant that his players sorta rested on defense. Except for Bill Hann (mentioned above) who often was put on the best scorer of the opponent (he used to hold Pete Maravich to way under his usual...
Jon was the reason for EVERY SINGLE ONE of the problems in Kellie's program, whether it was coaching, recruiting, post play, guard play, ticket sales, injuries, missed free throws, rebounding problems, etc.
When you have a lead to work with you're told: Whatever you do, don't walk anyone. Throw strikes and let the chips fall as they may. Solo homers don't beat ya. And they didn't. But if he had walked people right before the homers, different story. He didn't relinquish the lead it the end...
At 6-2, she could be the back of the defense charged with guarding the basket. She's an excellent three point shooter, so she fits that need. But she is a slower runner and not real quick on defense.
You never know what they'll hit. I once saw a downtown office tower construction job stopped cold because the drillers found some mastodon bones. Stopped construction for a couple years while they dug them all up.
