Coach Kellie Harper

[spojo13]

12-37 is the magic number there. Just hard to stomach that against ranked teams. Only a 32% win rate against ranked opponents isn’t going to take us anywhere.

I think that’s actually a 24% win rate against ranked teams? 12/49? It’s been a minute since I’ve been in math class though?

Yap yap yap about what ? Im talking about RIGHT NOW so hush hush hush or give us ideas on how to fix because you sure dont seem to have a clue baby pooh.

Nothing adds to your credibility like addressing a woman poster with an infantalizing epithet!

Article says 12-37 which is bad enough. Where did 12-49 come from?

12-37 is the record which is winning 12 of 49 games. Think that is what was trying to be communicated.

They’ve played 49 games against ranked. 12+37=49. 49 is the total number of games played. So she has won 12 of the games out of those 49. Sorry, didn’t mean to throw more dirt.

I hear the rumors on the recruiting trail is great school, bad coach. Prospects are being advised to look elsewhere. It’s time!

 

[Jax_Vol]

Would add....Kellie has been so-so ok by me in most all categories except one area that can't be fixed.

She nor husband are a true bench coach. Just roll out the ball, see what happens, hope we are bigger/stronger/more athletic/ or being carried by a hot player.

If tied with two minutes to go against an elite bench coach, we probably will lose 90% of the time.

That’s not what I’ve heard

We'll see if what this story was is an explanation of why she hasn't yet been fired or nothing except a little drama piece to create a lot of interest for the next few days. It has worked cause I am sure everyone that is a Lady Vol fan has now targeted April 1st.

Well, "Team Harper" has a nice ring to it.

It’s def drama and Knoxnews stirring for clicks so conspiracy theorist have something to talk about…

 

[VolBall09]

Wait I think I was conned into changing my answer and I was right the first time

 

[VolFuture]

At least Cora was honest in her assessment that every major player under Kellie has faced injury.

If anything, I know I’m in the minority, I pray we go away from relying on a Rickea type player. Im sorry but it doesn’t get us far..

We need full team buy in. We need roster stability. We need team chemistry. Look at what that does for teams like MTSU with far less talent.

Let’s be a TEAMMMM

 

[VolFuture]

Hmm, that story likely does not drop unless Cora had gotten a pretty solid hint that a change is pending. The different buyout clauses would explain the timing.

No they were probably digging for a clickbait article

 

[VolBall09]

Moving on. It’s too early for maths on VolNation apparently. So embarrassing

 

[Tnphil]

All an opposing coach has to do to a potential recruit is.....12-37 in 5 years. That's enough to run the largest percentage off.

It’s a debatable topic but I think our best players are suffering over use injuries because our roster isn’t good enough, deep enough. UConn has had the same issue the last few seasons. They have had a few recruits who just haven’t panned out and have had to rely heavily on star power and have incurred injuries to those players.

I disagree. I think once our roster settled this year we looked our best. It’s up to the staff to do that quicker this year. And that also means less portal players. 2 max imo 1 contributor and 1 development

My point was our best players are getting injured from playing too many minutes and encountering too much defense because they don't have the backup they need.

This team only had 3 legit players. Jackson, Puckett and Spear. Everyone else was half injured or needs more development.

True so pray for this summer so much time.

Also I’m hearing things are getting crazy so just wait.

I think someone is going to need to also take into consideration 2025 with this portal class. We have three on roster players and one recruit eligible to return for 2025. If we sign two players with two years that gets you up to six players. So a lot of freshmen or more portal players has to be the answer to have a big enough roster in 2025

No u aren’t bc u said those programs didn’t fall off and we had no success… but we did under Holly just like Vic Ivey etc until we didn’t… those coaches aren’t further along than Holly was post Pat

Holly had us in a better place for majority of her tenure based of pat left overs same as she gave Kellie and kellie did worst than holly imo.
