You are a fan. You bragged about still being here after Kellie as though that is some kind of validation. Well, everyone else on this board is still here in the same capacity as you.

The "mentoring" that got Meme to the pros was exchanging a couple of emails right?

I did not say you were a stalker. I said that Kellie may have been worried that you might be.

"Reporting" me while making a not so veiled threat on a public message board is ironic to say the least

I am busy if you want to continue this "chat" I will be back home this evening MTV
Pathetic reasoning after your veiled name-calling

I wasn't emotionally attached to Kellie. I am a businessman who has run several businesses, including the one I've been President of for the last 30 years, so I know a little about management principles. I've had to fire a few people during that time, not many, thankfully. A tenant of management is that when you fire someone for cause, it should not be a surprise to either party. It is my understanding that the only time this season that Danny White met with Kellie was when he let her go.

The Lady Vols had all of the pieces in place to get over the top, but needed the proper NIL funding to get the players and depth they needed to overcome the various injuries to key players they've had over the last three seasons and it was withheld from them.

Despite that they made the tournament every year and the Sweet 16 twice. Each team that eliminated them from the tournament the last three seasons made the final four. You can blather all you want about her record against ranked teams, but basketball is a tournament sport, and the tournament is what matters.

I've been a Lady Vol basketball supporter since Pat was dating R.B. (he introduced me to the game) and I've always wanted what was best for the team. I truly believe that the AD has made a serious mistake in handling the situation. I just hope his ego didn't blind his judgement - another common management mistake.

Supposedly Basilio reported White intended to bring Kellie back for another year but the donors would not open their wallets to properly fund NIL for her and that is when he realized the change had to be made now.

I have no idea if that is true, but it would fit some of the pieces together about how the process played out if that is how it happened.

You told the story; then you also chose to add that that yes indeed you are a type of stalker and provided your preferred definition. I never called you a stalker; you claimed the label with pride.

What are you complaining about?

Middle Tennessee State? You mean the team that eliminated highly accomplished Jeff Walz & Louisville Cardinals from the NCAA tournament that we lost to without Rickea Jackson, Jillian Hollingsworth and with very limited minutes from Tamari Key in a cold, damp hockey arena in Alabama?

You have no idea how often DW did or did not meet with CKH, so all of this is just wild projecting.

As for the NIL complaint, whether you want to believe it or not WBB is a build it then the money shows up sport. LSU and USCjr have bigger NIL funding because they already had strong programs when NIL began to flourish. The Lady Vol teams of the 90s would have garnered TONS of NIL support, but the idea that the fans should have been blindly throwing money at the program while Kellie very clearly floundered at her job is absolutely preposterous. Kellie was clearly not the answer, and DW is too smart to not see the obvious.

Yes them. Again, you were more disappointed in not getting Jeff than I was based on your history. Not sure that needs to be a go to for you. Walz living rent free in your broken heart.

Nice validation on why CKH was let go though. Needs RJ to win. First time I’ve heard damp arena as an excuse.

Kellie won 59% of her games at Western Carolina…. 52% at NC State…. 59% at Missouri State…. Her recruiting was average at best…. Nothing in her history says that she will be an elite coach…. Its time to change your name back to Earl and start cheering on these Lady Vols!!!

I guess you, like most of the experts on here, weren't in Huntsville for that game...and apparently the new head coach at Kentucky needed Elizabeth Kitley to win, except when he played Marshall. 😉

Both teams had to play in the same gym, correct? Didn’t bother little directional school. Being an expert and all against the Hokies.

Being an expert and all again, I’d advise maybe harnessing talk of VT vs Marshall based on the last to meetings we had.

He signed a contract extension (multiple?) for Harper. You’re welcome, thanks for playing too.

Meh, nobody was coming for Harper. Not sure you understand the difference in reworking a contract to stay and just giving a few bucks for minimum expectations.

In her first year coaching D1 ball, Kim won 26 games.

Kellie has never won that many games in any season in her 20 year career.
