Pretty sure Danny White has posted about every sport BUT women’s basketball this week.

Really this season. He has not mentioned the Lady Vols almost at all that I can find. He thanked the Harpers for a donation in January.

All that just screams “don’t fire me.”


I really don’t think he can be happy with the level we are competing at. We have a top 10 roster that isn’t even in the top 25 and that mostly comes down to coaching.

Some on here will settle for top 50. I hope Danny can’t. Our girls deserve better.

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.

You are correct 👍

whatever you think about Kelly-- watch Dawn in these final seconds. She is a great coach, nobody can argue that.

And she has to coach her players not to leave a shooter WIDE open.

What’s even dumber is not guarding someone at the 3 point line with 1 second left in the game. Don’t care what percentage they hit from 3. Absolutely terrible coaching.

That's the thing, the priority at that point is no 3s. Double-teaming players in the paint and leaving someone alone at the arc doesn't make sense, when a score in the paint sends you to OT, and a 3 sends you home. And having one defender halfway between the inbounder and the 3 shooter, not close enough to guard either, leaves you with only 4 players on defense.

Either the coach planned that, or didn't plan it, saw it, and didn't use a time out.

I didn't think Dawn thought she'd hit it, but she signaled her to shoot in hopes she make it, and if not get the rebound and two points. Kelly messed up when she didn't have them guard against the three. That was the ONLY thing that could beat us.

Hire Coach Yo, kids want to play for her and she’s passionate and dedicated. All she’s missing at Ole Miss is a crowd and some money.

And this is from someone who maintained for a couple years she couldn’t coach lol.

Why because he is correct, she is a awful coach, any high school coach would have used a timeout to go over everything with the girls.

I guess she still had the time out from when Key was running around with no shoe? Conjecture, but Dawn didn't have one, and maybe Kelly thought if she took one, Dawn would draw up some brilliant play--only thing is she did it from side court anyway.
