Dont call it a rebuild

[first time caller]

Coach Caldwell in her post presser last night said this was not a rebuild year. She mentioned others we're saying wait till she gets her players in. She said these ARE her players. The seniors on the team elected to stay and play for her, so this is her team. Good for her..sounds a lot like Pat reincarnate.

Baseball and LV Basketball are the only programs I think can win a Natty in the near future.

Been impressed with Coach Caldwell and the way she owns the moment. 3 points away from being a top team and the issues and losses are on her, she needs to do better. It's nice to have a coach that owns the moment and the team.

She’s awesome. I love how mad she gets when it’s even suggested that anything short of winning is something to be excited about.

I think softball and men's basketball also have a shot at a natty sometime soon.

Totally agree!

She expects to win and is not happy @ it not happening

Lady Vols fans…we can love/like Kim for just being her. Everything she does doesn’t have to be compared to Pat. It’s unfair to Kim. We can and should always love and cherish Pat’s accomplishments and memory. Let Pat rest in peace and let Kim put her own stamp on the program.

They'll be lucky to win the SEC with OU in now

Well said and thank you. Some idiot in another post used the word incarnate in comparing the two.

Pat's philosophy and system is radically different from Kim's
*Pat never 5 in 5 out'ed
*Pat worked the ref's, players, and opposing coaches with that beautiful "stare'
*Pat called timeouts to teach, restructure, and discipline
*Pat would lock a team out of their locker-room for such a 1st Qtr performance
*Pat subbed with purpose

I sat in that game in amazement at the subbing,,,there was one mass subbing that took place after 2 possessions,,,less than a minute!,

Kim's system is built on overwhelming your opponent and if you sub by schedule instead of by "the moment",,,you have no chance of extending a run except by chance.

Nope, Kim is a good coach, but young and inexperienced in this level of NCAA BB. And she is finding this out quickly.
Liberty gave the blueprint for scoring against this system.
Oklahoma gave the blueprint for beating the system.
Mulkey gave the blueprint for outthinking her.

Kim's got a long way to go before she can be truly compared with Pat Summitt

It IS absolutely a rebuild
In both system and roster

We never ran this type of system and we still have a few quarter horses running with the thoroughbreds

 

[teeball]

Another thing I like about Kim is her sideline manner. She travels the sideline instructing her team, coaching players as they come off the court when there was a mistake and best off all I like how she is unintimidated by the moment and is constantly is in the officials ears about some questionable call and all this with a cool, confident manner. Go CKC and the Lady Vols !

working refs with a cool, confident manner" is NOT effective. Pleading with a ref is not effective...They respect the coach that "works" them, not the coach that charms them.

Been coaching for 44 years and watching the game for 49,,,this has never changed,,,be it pro, ncaa, aau, rec,,,only in church ball

I agree. And, no matter how many horses she has, there will be elite teams skilled, well coached, and with enough horses of their own to counteract the press and frenetic pace. That said, I'm excited about LV's basketball for the first time in years. I think Coach Caldwell will do great things here and am looking forward to her growth as a young coach as well as to the success of the teams she puts on the floor.

Don't take things so literally. Just trying to say she's a good coach. Guess next time I'll do my homework on coaching philosophies .

 

[lvocd]

We don't yet know for sure WHAT Kim's true sideline nature is because she has been pregnant the entire season and it is important she not let herself get too worked up.

What we're seeing from her now may turn out to be what we see much later, but then she could eventually be different. I suppose we could go try to find some Marshall games and see how she was on the sidelines there, but even that may not be how she'll end up on the sidelines at Tennessee. I can imagine the position and the pressures she has now could possibly change her, but then maybe they haven't changed her at all. Only time will tell.
