2-7 in the last 9 games is just terrible. If this were the men volnation would crash out. Why are the ladies getting a pass for being this bad. I really hope they turn it around but this is just pathetic.

Sounds like 2-7 should cause a riot, a lynching of those responsible, torching of the AD's chicken coop in your view. If you read these pages with any frequency—obviously you do not—you would be aware of a few things beyond

Of course it’s terrible. About half the fans here blame the coach and/or the system. Another half blame some or many of the players. The third half, the more nuanced and saner group, say there is enough blame to besmirch all of the above. And, of course, upholding a time honored tradition, a fair number are calling for the defenestration of AD DW. So, therefore, the arithmetic is clear, simple, and wrong, just as Mr. Mencken taught us to expect.

You seem unaware that quite a few of those losses have been to teams ranked well above our ladies. And some were games we should have won. And we would have won them except for some nefarious plot by the biased, incompetent announcers, or the refs, or the faulty optics of the arena, or a sinister spell cast by the AI in the sub-basement of the opponent's Alchemy department. And never forget Darth, lest the olde traditions fail.

It's a terrible state of affairs, and you should write to the Editor of your local tabloid, with copies to Mr. P. Fulmer and the ASPCA. Next, call a meeting of The Daughters of…(your choice. I'd pick the group with the best cookies and the record of the most indignant hollering.). Key words to include in protest press releases include…

NIL

Pat
Kellie
quitters
turnovers
“turning over in her grave”
“invented women’s basketball”
S&C
Holly
LVFL
shameful

That should get you off to a good start. If you need further assistance, please stop by again. Your opinions are very important to us.

Have you been in the Lady Vol Forum lately? They're definitely not "getting a pass". When you've got this much talent playing this poorly, you have to look at the coaching staff. I don't know if CKC can fix it or not. She seems like she's overmatched.

They’re getting a pass because it’s women’s basketball, and there’s no interest in it relative to men’s . . . even here.

They get a pass because the majority of people don't live and die on women's basketball results.

You're probably rite, there's nothing like living or dying off those Men's basketball and football results. Remind me again how many National Championship trophies Men's basketball has put in display case?

Zero, but I love watching men's basketball. Haven't watched an entire women's game since Summitt. Won't lose any sleep if I never watch another one.

I love watching every sport the Vols compete in from the Football all the way down to Tennis and Golf. I strive not to put one sport being SUPERIOR to the many others.

Good for you. Whatever interests you. Just don't expect to have 100,000 friends that feel the same.

I think she tried to buy the team. Too many problematic players from other teams. No leadership. I think KC is already for the offseason.

I agree with this. I do think CKC thought if I just get enough players who could play at the SEC level, throw them out on the floor they will be able to outlast the other teams by wearing them down. Worked in the lower division, should work here, only it doesn't.

At some point CKC is going to have to decide is she actually wants to learn how to win in D1 or move on.

I could be wrong but, while we have a lot of talent, we don't have the experience at guard and Zee didn't develop into the post everyone was hoping for. Zee's not bad by any means but needed to be much better this season. If you go back and watch last year's big games, look at how many crucial plays last year's guards made that gave us the advantage. Smart and experienced guard play is importasnt.

Because some don't want to admit that CKC was a bad hire and that we should've went after a more experienced head coach after firing Kellie or at least gave her one more season without her husband (which she was willing to do) and the same NIL package that was granted to CKC.
