Diamond out!!

LOL! Instead of trying to figure me out, figure out that coach that has destroyed the lady vol brand. Figure out what offense her team runs. Figure out the identity of this team. They have no identity. The coach doesn't know whether she is coming or going when it comes to coaching. At best she might make a good assistant, which is what she was, and should have stayed. She is a default coach, and a bad one at that.

Ask yourself,why do players that play for her never improve in their four years under her. Russell played better on bad feet than she does on her good feet. She was much better as a freshman before she was tainted by Holly and her limited abilites as a coach. Russell has poor post fundamentals, and is always out of place on the court. Reynolds was better on offense as a freshman. Under Holly she got worse each year, and rarely looked for her offense. Middleton was never used properly to play to her strengths. Hopefully her new coach will recognize the player he has, and use her properly, something Dunce Warlick couldn't do. Meme is at a standstill. She came in as she is, and looks the same. It's no big surprise Reynolds couldn't make a wnba team. I am shocked she was even drafted.

Holly is a defensive bully. She beats every ounce of offense out of her players, and then throws them under the bus in interviews after losses. Holly is to stubborn to look in the mirror, and realize that that cold war relic that she calls an offense, is irrelevant in todays game of basketball. She is clueless as a coach. Instead of getting on twitter being a vindicitive,grudge holding, spiteful hen, she should be figuring out a proper offense to teach this team.

:)Taking a page from Holly's book and use a smile to end my rant lol. Yall chew on that doggies!

Rick.... the first thing I do is look at the #associated with the poster! I think some will join or REjoin under a different monicker just so they can troll here????

Her/him #19 post tells a story about them! If they cannot contribute something of value other than criticism..... then you should just ignore!!!

Very true. I have also always been amazed at the ones who have been members of VN for years but only show up here when something bad happens and then have a very negative post. Schadenfreude? Misogynists? Closet sadists (trolls)? Anonymity brings out the worst in some😝.

There was almost NO "truth" in that post. A few boring platitudes. I could go down the list and deny them all, and so could anyone that actually watches and understands basketball.

I wasn't even going to acknowledge the original post, because it was frankly just a bunch of vomit spewed around like that's what we all need.

It's either someone with an agenda or a fake idiot troll just trying to stir things up.

Any monkey with an anonymous keyboard can sling $hit at the zoo. No one that cares about Tennessee or respects the game would deliver their message in such a way.

Also -

Holly told me herself that the smiley face tweet was just responding to several folks that asked her if she was ok.

She's a not a sarcastic nor a volume tweeter like some enjoy, and she would never tweet some thinly veiled jab at a player.

The negavol response frustrated her so much that she just shut her twitter account down. An over-reaction, I thought, but she was just done.

Geez, she's spent her whole career being either lauded or slammed for being a coach that goes above and beyond to support the players.

Anyway, I've got to get back to scrubbing Holly's toilets. So much crap to deal with.

I am not a Holly fan at all, but Mercedes has improved tremendously, since her freshman year. She may be the only one, but coming out as the number 1 player, I was highly disappointed. Yes, I know her feet were hurt. Still impressed with her improvement since her freshman year

You obviously don't follow the team at all if you think Russell was better as a freshman than she is now.

Truth nothing but the truth!
But be careful Delphine saying any but I love the job this sorry a** coach has done gets them in a up roar your either not a LV fan or troll? Choose one!

This is the time of the year when they juice themselves up( I use to do this as well until she kept coming back as coach after yr 2) until reality hits game 1 and she's still heading up the program. I just hope we get a real coach to replace Law!

I love this team and everything it stood for once upon a time and the tradition that these players wanted to play for(just not this sorry A*$ coach)!!
She the lady version of Derek Dooley, she SUCKS

Agree to disagree
 
Holly's record speaks for itself and no one would be saying anything if she didn't have one of the top five talented rosters in Women's basketball. This year you could say she has a top five talented team again so this should be the year she has to produce or a change should be made.

What would she have to do to keep her job?
Would 2nd place in the SEC coupled with Sweet 16 in the tournament do it?

I haven't seen any honest evaluations of what can be expected. Yes, the incoming class is #1, edging out uconn. But there hasn't been any analysis that I've seen that takes into account transfers and other changes. I know an improvement in attitude is expected, or hoped for but chemistry produced dynamite as well as cures.

Charley Creame's too early evaluation rated the LVs #8. That included the incoming frosh, but was before the 3 defections. His ratings need serious updating. Where should the LVs be rated now?

I agree Holly is on the hot seat, but is is fair to expect much improvement given what has transpired?

Mercedes is better
Jamie played better
Even DD was better

And they still have their senior year to show improvement! Let's see how things go with more NEW talent

Omg.

Dooley didn't follow a legend.
Dooley didn't recruit #1 class.
Dooley never got to the Elite 8.
Dooley never got a post season win.
Dooley didn't graduate 100% of team.
Dooley didn't win SEC multiple times.
Dooley didn't win Natnl Coach of Year.

Holly's a$$ isn't "sorry", but she'd probably kick yours if you said that to her face. She's out under the lights, and you're hiding in the dark in your underwear scratching your pubes & slamming someone you don't even know.

Keyboard cowards thrive in forums. Probably just another adolescent acting out. Probably too young to have pubes yet.

Incase you missed it she is welcoming VEE VEE to the fold ... I don't think there are hard feelings (Evina is prolly like you leaving got me more playing time 😈). Westbrook retweeted what DD sent her. Still think there may be beef between DD and the school but from looking at one of her vids she is rehabbing pretty thoroughly. Didn't like the at she left but it looks like her body and some old injuries are catching up with her. Maybe she thought I better make money while I can. Who knows her thought process seems very all over the place! I think it is in Holly's best interest to keep the DD/Cooper drama to a minimum. I also believe it will take DD sometime to come back to UT when a lot of Lady Vols came back to visit often. Mostly to visit Pat but they also came back because of the sisterhood that was built.

Agree to disagree. Yep.

If you read the threads, I've made that clear.

But, to repeat:

I have defended and loved Diamond for 3 years when most every fan I knew said she was bad for the team.

Turns out, she was bad for the team. And now after promising to come back and make a decent legacy for herself and mentor the freshmen, she BAILED. She pulled a Kiffin.

Holly is our coach. She does her best for the team every day. Diamond did what was best for herself and let everyone in TN down for what? Because her "friend" couldn't stay out of trouble and got booted from school?

P.S., I didn't really change my name. That was a joke, kinda like your earlier post.

This has been an interesting thread.I for one have no idea if all these players leaving will have a negative or positive effect ....hope it is positive . However,with Holly at the helm that is problematic.

Turns out, she was bad for the team. And now after promising to come back and make a decent legacy for herself and mentor the freshmen, she BAILED. She pulled a Kiffin. Pretty accurate way of expressing it, again, it is not the doing, it is the way it was done.

Because her "friend" couldn't stay out of trouble and got booted from school? I am not sure this is why she left, but if it is...ridiculous. Te'a broke rules; the punishment came from Admin; Diamond let her team and her coach down over something they did not do and could not control.

P.S., I didn't really change my name. That was a joke, kinda like your earlier post.Maybe he is humour challenged. I thought it was funny - still do👍.

Oh well, Go Lady Vols!
