Game Thread: #19/21 Lady Vols vs. #21/19 Indiana, FOX at 6 p.m. ET on Thanksgiving

[Majors]

But we scored 100 against Troy (gave up 70, which was an obvious issue)

 

[Volstylexx]

Getting embarrassed on national TV on Thanksgiving day. I had really hoped this year would be different as the negativity around the program is only going to grow. They're going to be hearing the outside "noise" early this year. A few more losses (coming soon with our schedule) and the "will Tennessee make the tournament" conversation will start to get louder and louder. This may actually be THE year.

Nobody gets up in a face anymore. KH is a friend and not a coach.

That’s an issue, a coach shouldn’t worried about being liked, they should want to be respected.

 

[ttharp]

I’ve seen enough. Destinee hasn’t shown shes’ ready for the moment. SEC guards are about to feast.

 

[VolBall09]

Now the dumb substitutions..

She loves to sub when we are finally playing well. Instead of using subs to give a player a blow who maybe needs a minute to think about their game we take out the hottest hands.

 

[Majors]

I agree. It’s an even matchup aside from the sideline. Moren is light years ahead of Kellie unfortunately. I love Harper, she says the right things, does the right things, but we just aren’t making it happen.

She hasn’t turned over her staff to make corrections. Not sure she does the right things, accountability is lacking in her loyalty.

 

[VolBall09]

Do we have enough in us to at least close it to single digits?

 

[Ace]

Indiana players are just much better coached in the fundamentals than our Lady Vols. RJ would make a difference, but this is a coaching issue. Whether we win or lose.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

NICE assist by Edie!

 

[Majors]

Do we have enough in us to at least close it to single digits?

Unfortunately no. I knew once we got double digits in the first half we were done because we couldn’t make a run

 

[Volstylexx]

Do we have enough in us to at least close it to single digits?

I chuckled out loud when I read this. I like your optimism.

 

[Volfaninfl2]

Nice defense by Edie. She has a high basketball IQ.

The hope is that we have a bad enough year to finally go with someone who will install an actual scheme rather than rely on talent to play bully ball (cough KJH/Warlick)

 

[Vols2015]

Was it not on fox for you?

I don’t have cable tv anymore.

She is more interested in dancing with these girls, than she is actually coaching

Jon is the only coach still here from her original batch of hires. And he is kinda hard to fire.

This staff is her second bite at the apple. And she brought them in supposedly to improve recruiting.

She got eaten alive twice wym

No. The first quarter was eye opening. Players missed wide open shots and stayed in the game.
Plays were called for them.
No timeouts or in game adjustments being made despite Indiana starting slow as well.
That’s the kind of stuff that can be controlled.
And we got folks on here talking about the PG.. smh

 

[Deebowbear]

If this is how we are going to play this year it’s going to be a looonnnnggg one. Losing all hope in Kellie and I’m a big fa fan of her really thought she would get it done

 

[UT Challenger]

We are down by 16. Why are we not running a full court press to try to get some turn overs.

 

[SGMVols]

You have to pull the plug on Kellie if this team doesn’t make the tournament. That’s not acceptable in Pat Summitt’s program.

 

[VolBall09]

IU has been known to collapse in 4th quarters. Could end up being close but I think we dug too large a hole in that 2nd quarter.

 

[Caz]

This entire staff has had plenty enough time and for the most we’ve shown patience, but this product being put on the court is hot garbage..(not a pick at the players), but this coaching staff has not shown any form of improvement on both the offense and defense. I like and respect Kelly as a former player and a representative of TN, but no one can expect to be paid this well for for what we are getting year after year.
So in need of a change and bring in someone that can put some fire into both the players and the program.
I’ve never seen her rip someone’s ass when they screw up. Thought maybe some of Pat would have rubbed off.

 

[Butch s]

Honestly we’re no better off than when holly was coach

 

[SGMVols]

We are slower than molasses. Indiana would just run layup lines
