if you are going play that game, how do you know otherwise? We are all conjecturing but firing a coach coming off of a 20 win season and who has finished the season strong is not typical.

I’m not getting into this firing cono, but we didn’t finish strong at all, our record is 6-4 in our last 10 games and that’s mediocre and no I don’t believe in moral victories over teams I know we can beat. But with that said all that matters now is win and advance.

See, I was not "causing trouble" just clarifying your position. The truth shall set you free.

I mean, if you’re just now figuring out that I want her fired, then your reading comprehension is really poor. I’ve held that position a while and it’s not going to be changed by a win in round one.

I was actually referring to you rooting for a GB upset. Maybe you should process posts a bit better before insulting others' reading comprehension.

Anyway, have a great evening getting all your NCST garb rounded up!!!

I repeat, louder for those in the back, “Kelly’s two-year winning percentage is the lowest in Tennessee women’s basketball history since Pat Summit took over the program in 1973-74 seasons”

She’s winning an incredible 17% of games played against ranked opponents. None of that is changing with a win over Green Bay.

I don’t hold Sc on a pedestal like most, we should have won but we loss and that’s bad in my eyes, maybe It’s just me but I’ve always hated losing and would be in a bad mood for a while but I don’t expect everyone to be like me. My 2 favorite athletes of all time are Michael Jordan and Serena Williams, and in no instance have I ever seen them except losing at any point in their career and that’s the kind of athletes I like to root for.

Wow, projection is your deal ain't it? Remember, I wanted the LVs to win. So, I am flying high over this blowout victory!.

Maybe you need to stop digging your hole right about now. Said without a hint of "nastiness...".

MJ and Serena may not have "accepted" losing but they still lost plenty over the course of their careers (while winning far more than most). If the LVs turn that heartbreaker into a deep run into the tournament, that would be the spirit of those two icons. In sports, losses are inevitable (Brady won 7 superbowls over a 23 year career-- that is 16 times he had to respond to a losing. Tiger won 15 majors and he has probably played 4 times that many.

Sorry, "not accepting losing" is a silly sports cliche because every athlete and coach will face losses and, if you have long career, the number of losing season will outstrip the number where you win a title.

It is just about putting in the work to compete better next time around.

Yes they did lose but it fueled them to be great, I don’t ever remember them saying anything was good about losing, no moral victories, u either win or lose. A 6-4 record is mediocre and nothing to cheer about and I don’t care who it was against, u think if we had Candace Parker on this team she would be talking about a moral victory This is crazy to me, maybe the whole culture needs to change. But we are on a 1 game winning streak and that’s what matters now, just 5 more to go.

Let's not lose the thread here. I was discussing the cliche about "not accepting losing" which frames the inevitability of not winning it all as a moral failure (for which the culture needs to change).

At the end of this tournament, there will be one winner and 67 moral failures who suffer from pernicious culture (and perhaps going to hell?).

What does this cliche really mean. Athletes and coaches will loose so should they demand the game be played over? Sue some one? No, you shake the winners hand, like a good sport, and get ready for the next game or season.

What really what is a moral victory? So, you are upset that the LVs took away positives from the SC loss they could build on for the NCAA tournament be cause that is a sinful "moral victory." So, should they have just sat in a corner and cried or quit basketball forever. Would that response have been morally preferable?

No one ever says losing was a "good thing". That statement is just a strawman but good coaches and players do learn from losses and adversity . As Kara Lawson says, "handle hard better."

All I’m saying is 6-4 is not a strong finish, and I’m talking about the LadyVol standard. You learn from losing, and that’s not making the same mistakes, as in your pg not getting a touch for your best player for 5 mins at a time, some players never learn from their failures. But I don’t want to dwell on this, we won and that’s all that matters now,
