Tony Basilio Tweet

He could have done that TODAY! The reason for the delay is so certain people can be told.

He was out of town with the men's team. So I'm thinking he got back this morning and had the meeting with Warlick this afternoon and set up the press conference for tomorrow morning.

I think Phil Fulmer will retire again by 2021 and Holly,if she winds up keeping her job,could follow him into retirement then

Well that would be ideal in her eyes. I said it many times I don’t think Phil fires her because of Pat. He wants to give her every Opportunity to succeed

 

[KrazyVolFan]

I'm good with the players staying or going but Holly needs to be gone. Hopefully it gets done quickly but after the coaching search in football I wouldn't believe anything from anyone until PF stands at the podium.

 

[Orange_Mamba]

Which starters do you think that would be? Cheridene and Meme graduate, so that leaves a pool of Evina, Rennia and Mimi. I could see Mimi leaving in protest of Holly's dismissal, but can't imagine Evina or Rennia being in her corner...especially Evina.

Zay look like she not here for the bs.

 

[djtee]

If the tweet I posted is accurate and Holly is not being let go, then it looks like 4 starters are gone...with only Stepford Mimi staying. If this is the case, I wonder what that does to recruiting?

Even if Jordan Horston is all that, she's not replacing the 40 points that they will lose from the departing backcourt players.

Who are the 4 ?

 

[NoBackBoard]

You’re wrong. There’s no such thing as too late in basketball. Hire the right coach and the winning sets itself up.

Amanda Butler proved that at Clemson.

Phil could create a new position like Women's Athletics Head Equipment Manager which would be perfect for Holly Warlick

UTAD has managed to keep Joan Cronin around all these years with dignity. No reason they can't do the same for HW. For her years of service to the school, she deserves a respectful exit from the head coaching position, but it doesn't mean she has to be cast out into the desert. It's time for her to go, but UTAD can show prospective coaches and students how it can be done gracefully. Hopefully that's what Fulmer is trying to accomplish.

 

[JohnnyPayne]

From what I understand from a good friend in the athletic dept, this is true and it will be announced tomorrow that she is done as coach. He didn't know whether she will still have a job in the dept or not though.

Phil could create a new position like Women's Athletics Head Equipment Manager & Resident Head Scratcher Emeritus which would be perfect for Holly Warlick

[WeAreTheRealUT.]

So, there are 2 players transferring because they don't want her to be let go? I am sorry to ask so many questions, but this thing is all over the place.

 

[superfly]

If Holly stays then I hope for a losing season and then there will be a new women's head basketball coach in 2020-2021

Why would you not hope for a national championship if she stays ? I understand that people think she has under performed but the program and her job would be saved and that would not be bad....if she is staying anyway, hope for the best...not the worse.

 

[butchna]

Amanda Butler proved that at Clemson.

Been proven throughout the history of the sport. When Summitt was building up our program, Texas, USC, VCU and Louisiana Tech were the established programs. Connecticut, Baylor, Notre Dame et al weren’t a blip on the screen. Where’d Mississippi State come from? Hire the right coach.

There is no chance whatsoever for anything resembling the best with Holly Warlick as Tennessee women's basketball coach

Uh Oh! Starting to look like the football board!! My cousins brothers nephews uncle knows one of the Fed Ex guys that deliver to UT and he said there are rumors that Kim Mulkey was seen at the Mall this morning!

KK started several games, and I think Massengill started once or twice. Frankly I'm not too worried about it, especially if Westbrook and Davis stick around. A good coach could build a really good team around those two...

 

[Special Ed]

Perhaps Holly will join Avery Johnson on the unemployment office line for the fired (but not FIRED).

Prolly gonna buy it...and move it to Waco.

Yes but they were orange and white checkerboard!

 

[sccshortstop]

Absolutely agree, there are some top coaches who remember what Tennessee was and are itching at the chance. They know they can win almost instantly here

And who are the top coaches that have that itch?

 

[Undercovervol]

I think it’s highly unlikely they keep CHW. If they do, I won’t watch a single lady Vols game until she’s gone.

And you'll be able to hear crickets in Thompson-Boling Arena

 

[Volstar65]

I would accept a losing season in 2019-2020 if that's what it will take to finally get rid of Holly Warlick

So you want a losing season just to get rid of a coach? It shouldn't take that if she needs to be let go. I don't ever want a losing season.

Everyone take a breath.....It will all be revealed in time.
