Fire Her!!!!!!!!

I did not quote any misogynistic statement in my comment and have no idea what you're talking about. I saw the statement you cite, but didn't write anything in any way related to it.

You quoted v011s misogynistic statement "women have pea brains" within your post (just like I'm quoting yours now in my post) and you did not address that they said "women have pea brains." That's interesting given your constant harping on women's rights and how Lady Vols fans are wrong for wanting to keep the antiquated (your word) "Lady" in the name because they should move forward - like it's derogatory. That is what SV was saying and I'll agree it's odd.

My question would be will this recruiting class stay together with her remaining as the head coach?

Look at this and think, Holly driving the 380 sl and the Ferrari is the girls coming in. Seems about right!

An interesting paradox. Someone posting a 19th century prejudice using 21st century technology.....

Do you also find it interesting when you use the toilet?

Considering pooping has been around since the dawn of man, but toilets are relatively new technology?

More irony-- someone labeling half the human population as "pea brains" and yet can not distinguish between an archaic, sexist prejudice and a bodily function.

I will give you credit for an astute analogy; your posts are the digitalized form

about "pea brains" did get cited in my post, it was a inadvertent, a mistake. I was talking about something else. But, yea, it is not something that I would normally let pass!

It's pretty obvious that there has been a lack of coaching here, especially with this current team. Someone on here mentioned the UConn/Cuse game and UConn's offense.

It's nothing new really. Basketball 101. Stuff you learn on JV in HS. No player can move faster than the ball. If you make crisp, sharp passes, the defensive rotations will not keep up.

The other thing about the UConn/Cuse game is the effort from UConn. They don't run anything exotic on offense or defense. They just run it constantly with precision and non-stop effort. They are probably more conditioned than some of the men's teams but they run a high-motor all game long. So while other teams take plays off, UConn doesn't.

Now to this team, particularly DD and Russell. IMHO, DD has never been actually coached since she's been in college. Didn't happen at UNC and definitely didn't happen here. Her talent is through the roof but no one has actually coached her to cultivated that talent.

You can tell because she still appears to be out of control at times because of her tremendous speed and quickness. By now, with the proper coaching, her speed should look like she's gliding and fully in control.

I relate her speed and talent to John Wall of the Wizards. His first couple of seasons in the NBA were bad because he didn't know how to harness that speed. He would be out of control and get hurt a lot. By his 3rd or 4th season, he's done a great job of knowing when to burst and when not to which put's him more under control.

Russell's footwork and lower body/core strength are terrible. I've watched games where she's allowed smaller players to make her alter her shot or cause her to lose position in the post. I get the lumbering up the court stride she has but once she's in the post, that footwork and lower body/core strength should be better than what it was.

Maybe she needs to visit an NHL player off-season workout to work on the lower body/core strength. These guys are great at using their lower body/core to hold off defenders from the puck along the boards, on skates. I've seen a few of their lower body/core workouts online and she might benefit from some of it.

This team needs new blood at the coaching position. Someone who knows x's and o's and in-game/half-time adjustments and also knows how to develop talent.

In all my years on VN, I do not think I have ever posted on the LV forum. I felt compelled to post tonight because I have been in favor of moving on from Holly for quite some time.

I grew up watching football during football season and the Lady Vols during basketball season. However, I pretty much stopped watching the Lady Vols on a regular basis after Holly's second season. Growing up, it was very rare for Pat to have more than 5 losses in a season and you never saw her lose more than 5 games in consecutive seasons. Often times, her worst seasons were followed by great seasons. After watching Holly for two underwhelming seasons, I could see that she was incapable of coaching her Lady Vols to play with the same toughness and tenacity that we were accustomed to under the Pat regime. It was so frustrating to see Holly blemishing the superb program that Pat had spent so many years building that I could not watch anymore. I have tried to watch a few games over the last few years but every time I turn the Lady Vols on, I see a team that lacks identity, cohesion and toughness.

If we do not move on from Holly soon, I fear that it will take a long time to undo the damage she has done to our program.

Is that you Coach J.???? This Lady Vol program still has a little bit of luster to it so an "alpha" type coach can still come in and revive it, set the expectation and reset that culture of winning. Is that you Coach J.?? "wat say u! wat say u!"

There is one way to find out...

Last year someone posted to me (paraphrased because I can't find that exact post,,,) "Jumper, there was no way you will be a part of the upcoming Lady Vol Season"....This past week I was told "there is no way they would give an unproven, a shot".

Thank you.

I've never seen such piss poor awareness out of a Lady Vols team, and it has been like this since she took over. Shot clock violations with no clue it's winding down, turnovers, no hustle, and I could go on and on. She is destroying the program Pat built and she needs to go.

Whatever is below piss poor is where this program is at. Then at the presser Holly says the new recruits will play and play a lot. Does she really think the Lady Vols will automatically get better when the new recruits show up? Is she so blind to believe that all it takes is a bunch of five stars to be great? We have four great high school 5 Stars Russell, Diamond, Nard, and Middleton that were outstanding in high school, just like the players coming in. How has that worked out for us Holly? Wake up Holly, you have turned a potentially outstanding team into a train wreck. You are below piss poor.

 

[wildorange]

Don't worry Holly will have them fired up next season, she has the number 1 class coming in. LOL!!!!!

so are you in ?


ya'll might as well get over it,CHW isn't going no where,I'd think she probably has 2 more years,with the class she is bringing in

and has our new AD restored the Lady Vols name yet ? piss poor on him and the new chancellor if they don't

Gotcha. I thought that was something you, of all people, would jump all over. LOL

Two thoughts Mule when I saw Lady Vols and Holly will likely be here two more years. This AD did not take the name Lady Vols from this team, secondly, why if Holly is coaching and showing such poor effort should she be here two more years. It sounds to me like perhaps you think, the AD should automatically do something to return Lady Vols to the jersey. I would say if I were the AD, you show me Holly, how you are turning this program around to where it once was and the name Lady Vols on the jersey meant something!

 

[Hangtyme24]

Could we fire Holly and keep Reaves and Law? Has a school ever fired two coaches and kept 2 assistants? What if this class comes in and lives up to the hype with Cedes and Nared returning? Looks like Holly will get at least 1 more go at it. I'm hoping next year is a major improvement.
