I hear the entire collection of coaches for both men and women throughout the NCAA and many international coaches are now checking in to VN just to learn at your feet. Your BB acumen is just that awesome.

When I post it is for those who appreciate someone else's viewpoints. Yes often i get in verbal wars. I should mute and ignore you, but when I do, and i see your name, but can't see the comment, and I un-ignore and boom, here's the attack. Its not in my nature to let things like these said by without defending my position.
Yes, I am an AAU coach. Who has worked exclusively with the higher level 12-16 year olds for the last 13 years. No, this does not qualify me to be HW's replacement, but it does qualify me to have a valid coach's opinion because i have experienced many of the things that happen to HW. I have blown out, gotten blown out and been in very tight games. Dealt with great kids and parents, and had prima-donna parents and kids. Had refs that had vendettas and had refs that didn't treat me in any way different to anyone else,,, etc, etc..
Bottom line is, when I post, I can't designate it to only the ones who use my posts as conversation fodder or to learn a different viewpoint towards understanding...
Haters will hate no matter what, but I don't post for them. For every hater, there is one who appreciates my writings... It is those who I post for..
Those who referenced what I wrote on this post,
alone:
Haters:
Volicity: I've seen a hundred AAU coaches just like you. Give it a rest. If your knowledge is that vast, shouldn't you have graduated from the AAU circuit by now?
Orange Maniac: This reminds me of the story about a rat and an outhouse if anybody understands what I'm sayin
Golf 437: Thanks for the laugh
Chitownvol1145: Jumper, admit it, you are a negitive nancy, and need testosterone treatment, you basketball knowledge is front runner, poo poo anyone facing adversity. HOLLY, has embarrassed you, and your kind, so has this team. Even if they fail, somewhere forward, Pat did numerous times, you failed. She has succeeded, and she recruited all these ladies,
Munsterland: Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!!!! !!!!!!!! !!!!!! !!! !!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Speckvol: DSM-5 criteria for narcissistic personality disorder include these features:
Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
Exaggerating your achievements and talents
Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
Requiring constant admiration
Having a sense of entitlement
Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
Taking advantage of others to get what you want
Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
Being envious of others and believing others envy you
Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
Although some features of narcissistic personality disorder may seem like having confidence, it's not the same. Narcissistic personality disorder crosses the border of healthy confidence into thinking so highly of yourself that you put yourself on a pedestal and value yourself more than you value others.
Bearcsat204: So you are taking some credit here? Come on Doug, don't take yourself so seriously

Those on this thread alone, who seemingly appreciate what I write:
MDVolFan14: (1)Agree that you can win with her. But she is still raw and needs that "alpha" coach that can coach her. This year will be a learning process for her I believe but she needs that "alpha" voice to get in her ear and take that raw talent and mold it kinda of like Geno has done with Stewie... (2) Excellent point about "alphas".... Some players are motivated by just a few words. Others need a strong hand/voice in their ear. DD appears to be the latter. HW played Robin to Batman for so many years and like you said CoachJ, she wasn't ready to take over Gotham when Batman left. . . It's easy to say spoiled, privileged, bad attitude, etc. but she is not the only one on this team that is not feeling this staff. Others are not in the spotlight like she is being filmed, photographed and interview all of the time.
BOBKITTEN: I think DD sees college ball as her warm up, an audition to pro ball. It is her chance to be on a winning team and showcase her talent. It has not worked out that way.Perhaps athletes, like regular students, need to choose schools based on things like academics and love of the school, not on less important things like "TV time" and where your BFs go.
CHIEF88: Your assessment of this kid is spot on. But DDs and the teams lack of focus mirrors that of the entire coaching staff. None of these kids see Coach Warlick as a credible coach/leader. She is Holly to them. Not only is DD not been coached in a manner that gets her motivated to play at a high level, none of them have. Did anyone see them set a pick for a shot last night or actively block some one off the boards? The warm ups don't speak to a disciplined routine. I watched a defeated team last night. I also watched the faces of the coaches looking up at the UT contingent -- No One, I Mean No One Was in Control.
Darth_vol: I agree. I don't know Diamond, and I have no idea if any of this is true. But if it is, I would consider it a parenting fail, rather than putting it on the coach(es). Not that I would second guess a parent who would go after the coach on twitter. Whether you agree with what he said or not, the twitter rant was not a good look for Diamond's father. And if Diamond does a one-and-done transfer for a second time it won't be a good look for her, regardless of how disappointing the season was for her both individually and the team..
Armchair: It is very easy to be enamored with talent--most fans are, including myself. But talent doesn't mean squat if you don't produce.
Voldon18: Too many problems, so few solutions. Coach Jumper and Armchair, thanks for the interesting dissections of our team's ills.
Madgeyoung: You make sense of this horrible season. Go talk to Dave Hart and apply for this job
.Enjoyed Coach Jumper's assessment of DD. Sounds like she has her pegged.
Tonybalogna: You beat me to it. Her chance at playing in the WNBA is going to be low now. That's a shame with a player of her talent. I wondered why she left UNC so quickly after her freshman season. She was just too good for it to be nothing. DeShields is such a solid player. She has so many skills. She can play both offense & defense. But, if she has emotional problems then that's going to stop her from progressing.
CincyLadyVol: Coach Jumper, what do you suggest to fix this program? Give us a rundown on how you'd turn it around. And what can be done if Holly stays?
T.J.: Makes all the more sense now. Diamond truly wanted to play for coach Summit. The one coach that could had given her that guidance and authoritative nature. It just wasn't Tennessee it was the coach that was the lure. Now, she's paying the ultimate price of playing for Summit's assistant who doesn't have a clue on how to run a team.
