SO, what do you advise. Cancelling the season cause all is lost from the get go.

Everyone knows that Holly has to get better results over the next two seasons.That is her window; for a lot of reasons-- contractual, historical and so forth--Holly has 2 years barring some really unforeseen happening.

So, carping about how nothing good can happen while Holly is coach is just plain trolling at this point.

And those of us who are trying to maintain an optimistic outlook, we get it. You and many others wake up everyday and curse the heavens that Holly is coach; every waking moment of your existence is a living hell because Holly is coach; you are tormented by nightmares, you have turned to alcohol to kill the pain of having to live through Holly's reign of terror; you have lost your job, your family, your dog because of the deep,unremitting Holly-induced depression that you suffer from, rendering you incapable of any and all normal human interactions.

Now, if you say none of that true and your life is peachy keen, then how about stop acting like Holly' status as head coach as placed you in such dire straits?

Some of us are tired of having a first-rate program with second- or third-rate coaching. You seem to ignore the fact that this isn't a recent phenomenon: We have not been well coached for well more than 10 years. But HW needs two more! Funny! UConn has left our proud program in the DUST because they are very well coached in all facets of the game, and we are not. It has been a disastrous several years for the program, and will not improve until we get a real coach.

I did not say "needs" but will likely get two more for reasons that have been discussed on many other threads.

But I am sure that if you post just one more "Holly must go" tirade, the administration will pivot and pay her buy-out clause and endure the backlash of firing a coach with 70% win percentage. And if not on the next post, surely the next or the next or the next or the next of the next or the next or the next or the next or the next or the next or the next.....

If Holly is still at the LV helm come the 2017-18 season, well it is all on you because....


But, the LVs have not been well coached for more than 10 years you say? Wow, that timeline includes the back-to-back NCs in 2007 and 2008. You set a high standard for sure. I guess UT should have fired CPS after that first NC with Candace. Just think what they could have done with a real coach in 2008. Maybe they could have won the NC, just like they did.

I hope this is your last comment since clearly you aren't a real fan one player (or a couple of disgruntle ones) don't make a program! You think Geno loses sleep when players leave? He lost a number one recruit (Elena Delle Don) and still won 4 championships in a row after that debacle! I support my lady vols! It's not doomsday we have a whole season to go, nobody has played yet! Other teams could lose players to injury or transfers and be worst than us!

The more I read your posts the more I like them! True fan while we may not agree on everything I can say you do your best to stay optimistic but also pretty straight forward #respect

In other news: I wonder how this looks to potential recruits? I think the story coming out about what really happened with Te'a and her getting into a fight with her teammate is not good but looks better then her just transferring by her own means. Parents may actually gear their kids towards a school that enforces such rules. Joelette Law doesn't look as bad when you hear her explanation of wanting to return home tombe with her family and parents who are aging. Plus the new coach and better chemistry on recruiting visits may actually help. There will be plenty of playing time available! I might bring in a JC player/players to have immediate scoring/rebounding help for the 18-19 season. A class of 4 at minimum 5 would be awesome or maybe 4 freshman and two JC players ..

Right the ship? She is sinking the fleet. Quit blaming players, none of them have been here the entire time Holly has been screwing things up. She has rode Pat's coat tails about as long as she could. Not much of them left for the museum.

She may start the season, but I doubt she is here at the end.

Ok so again if you don't like it stop watching and supporting them and return when Holly is gone. If you are unwilling to do so, STHU and deal with what is being produced, unless you are the AD and can make changes yourself.

So can you please become a UConn fan and join their boards? Geno does everything great and you expect him to never lose so go there and cheer for them! I've called a couple of years where they choked and he didn't get it done regardless of what the expectations were for his team and he was out coached.
