Both Jackson and Key guarded nobody. Should have had someone on the inbounder and at least near the girl at the top of the key. There’s no excuse for that defensive set

If you don’t guard the inbounder that defensive player should be in position to guard anyone that pops open. She just stood there in no man’s land not guarding anyone and could have just been on the bench. Terrible coaching.

To be clear. I think Kellie is a good person and representative of the university but I do not think she is a good basketball coach. Not based on just that one play but her career at UT. I think that one play though is a good example of her career.

Does she deserve to come back? Probably not

Will she be fired? No

What coach will come to this University and be able to handle this pressure cooker?

The big names aren't coming, it is what it is.

There are very good coaches that absolutely would love to coach here. Coaches have ego’s and why wouldn’t any coach confident in their own abilities not want to come here? We got tradition, we got resources and we got money. And we got the fan base. Nothing against you at all, I just totally disagree with your assessment there. I have wanted Harper to succeed, she gets on them and even says the right things but it doesn’t seem to sink in with these players enough. Tonight’s ending is why they aren’t a top team yet, great teams don’t make it easy for you. Kellie has to recruit players that are aggressive and confident. That play with a edge and have a instinct to knock teams out and out the dagger on them. We aren’t there yet. Kellie needs to get to the final 8 to prove she is moving in the right direction. A set sixteen butt kickin will not do it, much less losing in first 2 rounds. I will pull for Kellie and the Vols if she does come back, but that would be my barometer for her staying or going. And if she does come back next year she needs to win many and contend for the sec title among top 3 and or go deep into March madness in 2025. Like final 8 or better again. She for sure is on the clock, she had a opportunity today to score a major win for her and the team. But that lack of effort at the end took all the shine off the game. That was all coaching coming out of a time out.

For a program like the Tennessee Lady Vols, losing in the Sweet Sixteen should be viewed as a failure. Unless something changes out of nowhere in the tournament this year, having coached this program for five years with nothing but failure to show for it is a massive problem.

This is not a club team. KJH is paid incredibly well and the program/fanbase has nothing to show for it. It’s time for her to hit the ****ing road.

USC clearly has more talent than the LVs (and everyone else in the country) do.

That makes it worse when you let them off the hook out if a timeout. That was bad coaching and player execution. Players just standing. Sickening to lose like that. We didn’t play to the buzzer and got what we deserved. I hope it hurts a lot, they need to cry till they get mad.

It's the signing bonus the HS girls are getting. Boost Her Club either antis up or Dawn Staley wouldn't get the top HS players. DW will decide CKH's fate, not any of us. I support whomever he chooses .
