TN has won the SEC All Sports trophy 2 yrs in a row. Had never won it before. You get points from every SEC team the school has based on how high you finish in the standing. You are free to think whatever you want but winning this award shows sports success at TN is definitely important to him. He has already replaced a couple of coaches since his term started.

good for him my comment is not an indictment of danny white it is rather commentary on how comfortable he is with KJH and how big the
lady Vols are as a priority.... particularly relative to national importance

Harper absolutely has deficiencies as a coach at the highest level. She has to make some changes if they are going to compete for Final 4/National Championships. An overhaul to her offensive system is at the top of the list. Hire an "offensive coordinator" and get out of that coach's way. However, there are plenty of positives that she brings to the table. Fans are talking about how there is no question she should be fired and we played #1 South Carolina closer in all 3 games than any other team in the country basically. Does that count as wins? Absolutely not. Did poor coaching rip a win away from UT in the SEC Tournament? Absolutely. But the point is UT is not about to "for sure fire" a coach who has a team playing at a level capable of doing that. If she does not do a great job in the transfer portal and she does not improve the offensive scheme then the product on the court will most likely deteriorate to the level that does require her being fired. But that is not where they are right now.

Well that's a whole other issue. Based on what I posted I think it depends on how successful he thinks her program is. Since it is the highest profile women's sport I would think it would be a priority but we will have to see. Personally I think Kellie will be back next season if that answers your question.

For the 8 millionth time, and I know you know this, the "defense" was set exactly the way Kellie wanted it. You can watch her precisely positioning them. She even had a few seconds to spare before the throw in. See video above.

Didn't want to win? I realize you sports hate KJH and want her placed in cuffs and dragged away. But there's plenty of actual fodder without making up crazy stuff.

I think that is the problem a lot of people have. If that is the way she wanted the defense set when she chose not to defend the inbound pass then they had 5 players to guard 4 and left one open then a lot feel that shows questionable coaching.

If she meant for everyone to be guarded then call the timeout.

That is one reason I refuse to get involved in the fantasy coaching hunt, first the AD has to show that he is ready and willing to fire KJH. Right now it appears that KJH has at least one more year. I doubt she will quit when to fire her would mean additional millions as a departing buyout. Besides all major colleges and universities are willing to pay men coaching men’s basketball teams millions to leaving but not so for coaches coaching women’s basketball teams.

Juwan Howard is gone at Michigan. I wonder what that buyout will cost them.

Difference here is that Barnes had them in position to be a #1 seed, unlike his counterpart that will be lucky to have her team as a #7 seed.

Lol. How did I know either you or Earl would post this after the game? This is as predictable a post as the drive-by “negavol” posters you always criticize that only post here after a loss.

Didn’t have the stomach. That is back to back weekends with a gut punch for me. I follow both programs pretty closely. Hopefully the BaseVols or SoftVols can cleanse the Vols sports palate.

It’s very bittersweet in our house because we are really rooting for UNC coach Hubert Davis. Following a legend is hard. But we also don’t want the guys to lose! Particularly not like that ☹️

Ridiculous post...unlike you, I support both the men's and women's teams and coaches. Hated to see the men lose today, probably cost them their #1 seed.
