Shooting less then 30% speaks for itself. This team needs a lot of offense. They simply can not sustain a consistent offense. Some say it is the head coach and some say it is the players, maybe the answer is both. This team makes a lot of idiot decisions on offense. This must be the worst collection of 5 star offensive players ever recruited. This team lacks a lot of effort and desire.

Warlick needs to be let go mid-season. We need to see if maybe DeMoss could be enticed back. There's plenty of talent in K-ville right now. We need somebody there to coach them before we lose out on that advantage. Maybe if she--or someone (Tyler?)--could coach them up, we wouldn't have too much bleeding in recruiting in the next few years. Doesn't look like Warlick has what it takes.

Drawing board? Holly's Vol-ettes were embarrassed in Knoxville tonight by a bad Florida team whose coach was missing. Bottom of the barrel has been reached. :eek:

demoss wouldn't come back after being passed over for holly for anything in the world, plus she'd never leave Tyler in the lurch.

The offensive issues should of been addressed in the off season after that poor offensive performance against Maryland in the Elite 8. As of now, I see UConn, South Carolina, Notre Dame and Texas/Ohio State as #1 seeds. I do not see Tennessee beating any of them to get to the Final Four.

So disappointed and so upset! My whole family has always supported the Lady Vols. I mean generations of my family!

Honestly, what do we do? Do we continue the bleeding and humiliation? Do the girls transfer?

Please any answers?

If Dunbar stays, she is crazy. imvvvvho

Holly has totally misused her.

She needs to go somewhere that they shoot the ball.

Yet, when these same 5* players play for another coach on a USA team they play great.

Unless the team lays a whole basket of eggs during the rest of the conference season and (including SEC & NCAA tourneys) loses 12-15 games, Warlick & staff are here to stay for at least two more years (barring resignations/jumping ship). Might as well get used to it & look for the bright side. Hart isn't going to spend money to attract a top-tier coach, and he's sure not about to buy out CHW's contract.

Good game seats should be easier to find, especially in second half.

Oddly enough, there might be increased fan support out of sympathy now that we're the underdog in a lot of remaining games.

See above. DeMoss...maybe Tyler Summitt, if he's ready. But, do you remember the difference in the Lady Vols when DeMoss left for Kentucky--then Texas--then came back here? I'm telling you, she is to the Lady Vols program what Cutcliffe was to Fulmer.

They will not win games against better teams unless their guards/wings can consistently score from beyond the arc and open up the middle for Graves/Russell. Russell lacks the aggression of a player like Izzy and cannot take over a game. Graves is their best player, and she cannot operate in traffic.

Diamond and Te'a clearly think they are better than they are, and it shows in their play, attitude and shot selection.

It's both. The teams carelessness with the basketball, taking unnecessary shots, no ball movement, and lack of focus. The coaches still haven't put in anything that resembles an offense.

There is only one answer. Dave Hart has to get as serious about Lady Vols basketball as he is about mens sports. Until we get a "REAL" head coach this will continue.
