Westbrook is just Angry at Holly for telling her to commit 12 Turnovers in the last two games.

I disagree somewhat. I think Evina is angry because she is being asked to a run an offensive system that has limited off the ball movement and where too many of her teammates are playing a step slow in their cuts and are not ready to receive passes.
The speed of play problem reflects that these players have not learned to anticipate and understand their roles in the system.

When the LVs made their comeback, they found a gap in the UCLA defense which allowed KK and Green to get a bunch of easy buckets. UCLA started to guard against that point of attack and the LVs had no immediate response. The team got ver stagnant which made it all too easy for UCLA to generate game changing turnovers in clutch time

All season, the LVs have not been able to adjust quickly to opponent's defensive changes but instead just keep running into the same wall over and over. That flaw traces back to coaching.

So if a new coach comes in and benches her and we start out 20 and 0 and she speaks to the press and says the same stuff because she's mad that she's isn't playing are you still going to side with her then?

Hahaha, that is quite a reach for that hypothetical. What Evina did and your fantasy scenario are not even equivalent.

But to your question, someone can support Evina in this actual situation and should your alternative come to pass, not support her in that one.

In common parlance, that is called using judgment.

Assuming that you really are a coach......you would be cool with one of your players doing this?

I really am a coach and my players wouldn't have to because I would fight for them not with them

and if necessary to fight "with them",,,I wouldn't hide, I'd be in their grill!
I don't "play", JohnnyD ,,,,

Momma bought me a guitar when I was young
and I broke it
...cause' I don't "play"

Yes, TJ

If a coach doesn't deter something, they allow it

Can you name a time that a turnover resulted in a forced sit and a visible determent to that player....I sure can't

To come back and take the lead was a team effort. Kasi was hitting her layups and defending doing their come back. She was in a groove and so was the team. Holly sat her & inserted Cheridine. They lost the lead by 3 and Evina turned the ball over.

Oh & no time outs were taken.

We can't win games with a lack of coaching. No leadership at all from the bench. I don't think I've seen asst. Nicki Anosiki move her lips or change her expression. -- Just saying.

Save the Lady Vols!
Fire Holly Warwick!

Whether we like it or not kids do not automatically respect someone just because they are an adult. Believe me I know, I’m a teacher and deal with it everyday. Is it unfortunate yes, but there is very little I, or we, can do about it. As a teacher, my students respect me because I know what I’m doing, I have set standards and guidelines, I have consequences for wrong choices, and I definetly don’t answer every question I am asked with “I don’t know” If I didn’t have those things, I would lose the classroom and the kids would have no respect for me. I have to be able to do all those things, even if I do all those except one I will still lose control. Coaches are teachers too.

So does Evina’s teacher/coach know what she’s doing, or at least act like she knows what she is doing? Does she have set standards and guidelines for the players? Are there consequences when someone does not live up to expectations? When pressed or asked does the teacher have decisive informed answers, or at a loss and has no answers?

Every year under Holly, the scapegoat has been a different player. First it was Simmons, then Massengale, then Diamond, then Jamie Nared, and now Westbrook (and at times during the season, Davis). Without Westbrook we don't even come close to getting to the NCAAT. And let's be honest, with our name recognition, we don't get in this year.

Without that one player that can score and get their own shot, Holly probably would've already had a season like this or two. And y'all wanna sit here and dump on that one player that's saved your coach's rear end all this time? lmfao y'all wild.

I mean these players aren't kids, so. A better comparison would be employee/boss, not teacher/student. Once again, these are adult women, not children.

Honestly the fact that someone is older should never garner automatic respect, anyway. Respect is earned, not given, and people should be respecting each other because they are people, not because they are older or younger. I believe as a coach of any team you should automatically be given a certain level of respect, but that's because you're the one in charge, not because of age. But Holly's coaching incompetence more than speaks for itself at this point.

It's inappropriate, no matter which player did it. There is a time and a place for players to voice any issues they have. A public airing of grievances in the media after a loss is neither.

Sooooo in other words, you're favor of political correctness.

People are always on the younger generation for being "snowflakes" (which is hilarious to those that work with the public, but I digress), and "too PC" but when they speak up and aren't PC they are chastised. Once again, y'all wild.

I disagree, but even if you are right I doubt anyone would respect their boss in that situation either.
