I mean come on. You have a team that is struggling with their field goal percentages and offense in general. They're in a live game situation and instead of taking the opportunity to work on the offense, and get the ball where it needs to go efficiently, Kellie decides to play everyone like we are winning by 40 and play people who haven't seen court time against tougher competition 5 minutes into the game. Most teams this year have the ability to get hot at any time more than they ever have. If they were to lose this game, I would put it squarely on the coaches!
I think a lot of you are forgetting that the Lady Vols have another game tomorrow. Playing as many players as possible means that, hopefully, no one will have tired legs tomorrow!
That is understood and you can run players in and out all night, but to put 5 non-starters in, in the first 5 minutes of a game and allow an 8-0 run to bring them within two, seems inexperienced, gives the opponent confidence and now the starters are having to try to close out the game in a much tighter game than it should have been
