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

I'm sorry but if KJH isn't recruiting well and isn't developing players then she shouldn't be coaching here. With that being said what exactly is KJH doing well?

Milking money from UT...

 

[Majors]

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.

If last year was below standards you give them all walking papers.

 

[ttharp]

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)

Same. It would suck for RJ though. She deserves better and could’ve gone to other schools and had better coaching // chances to win big games. I want us to have a good season for her.

That's probably what it will take. I used to think it was crappy to be that kind of fan... and then I found myself actively hoping Vanderbilt beat Butch Jones just to force the change in hopes of brighter days. I'm not there yet with Kelly, but I imagine that moment will come sooner than later for many fans if this type of play continues.

Been way over past time to go outside the Pat tree and get a coach for the 21st century. Pat's way dominated for its time. That time left 15 years ago.
You need quick athletes now. Big girls, rebounding and defense are not enough anymore. Today's lady basketballers just dribble around ya.

Just think about NEXT years team!!

 

[Putbacks]

Tennessee has only 5 assists to Indiana’s 15. That is a big tell-all on lack of offensive organization.

 

[StickMan]

Zero passion or fire. We at least got that with Holly’s teams.

You can not possibly be serious. I don't know what you were seeing, but to me Holly's teams were unwatchable. Kelly may not be Pat Summit, but a big improvement over Holly.

 

[zaqhhh]

Lmao Murray State scores 79 on them, we are at 40 with 8 to go

 

[Butch s]

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.

I have really pulled for her to succeed, but it’s painfully obvious she is incapable of doing this job. It’s time to move on

 

[Volstylexx]

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

That's a sadly accurate statement.

 

[WinnerCircle]

Watch nothing changes next game for #21 and #1.. they have missed about 15 shots between the two.
But still playing in the 4th.
Folks complaining about Hollingshead and Wells. #21 is 0-6 or 0-7. And has given up about that same amount of threes.

This is NOT an improvement. You don’t think this is unwatchable?

It needs to be said that KJH is better in March but the product on the court is still uncompetitive at elite levels with no scheme or game plan

Kellie needs a raise and a extension....

 

[OrngeJuiceJones]

Danny White you're on the clock... It's time

 

[Scissor Hands]

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.

THIS X 1,000

 

[Majors]

Personal belief is CKH is in over her head in day to day of a P5 team. Last year RJ saved her and made that team have a respectable year (lowest standard)…if CKH is the coach next year it’ll be a long rebuild back.

 

[volnationnj]

Wide left

Run down the floor and throw the ball toward the goal and hope it goes in. That seems to be our offensive strategy

 

[TN1111]

Who else is excited for the point in the game when TN is out of time and starts pressing & gambling to get steals too late in the game?

 

[Volstylexx]

15 years since Tennessee women's basketball made it a final four... let that sink in.

[LadyVol1908]

almost every 3 Garzon has made, has been on Tess!

 

[Putbacks]

And Garzon scores a career high…on us….
