Nobody is asking coach to be fake or to be Pat. Several people just want more control in-game when things go off the rails, be it confrontations over blown assignments or just a timely time-out when the other team is on a run. Nothing earth-shaking really.

Don't you think Kellie has thought of those things, and rejected them for good reasons? It isn't possible she's never considered them, is it?

So you're saying CKH has considered being more assertive in the moment when her players screw up royally, and has rejected it for a reason unknown to the rest of us.

You may be right, Al. Still doesn't change what I want to see though...you get that, right? I can't read her mind, I can only go by what my eyes have seen.

Horston was making faces, pointing at her arm, and arguing with the refs. On one play she just stood there, because she wanted a foul called, while play continued and they scored. She was benched more than once, but her play did not improve. For the game, she scored 5 points and had 6 turnovers.

Yet another example of why our Wooden award watch list junior won’t be an All-American. It certainly isn’t a talent issue…

She can't shoot. Personally, I think she's 1 year away.

I mean we're winding down her junior season, so I would say it's pretty unlikely she will be able to shoot next year either. But as I've said before, I think her issues go beyond that...

Easy now. I wasn't trying to show disrespect. Just asking a straightforward question.

Kellie has been a head coach for more than 15 years. And a big time player before that. I'm guessing she figured out quite some time ago what kind of coaching persona fits her, and she isn't going to change that. Why should she? Cause she lost a couple of games?

Remember, no one was asking her to morph into Bob Knight when she was 18-1.

And you're a qualified psychologist because you spent the night at a holiday inn?

You obviously watched the game.

As some have said, we were tired. That doesn’t bode well for tournament time, but that’s beside the point. Maybe we let that tiredness rule our attitude. We didn’t get the calls from refs in Florida that we got from the refs at home, and we let ourselves become frustrated.

Horston was making faces, pointing at her arm, and arguing with the refs. On one play she just stood there, because she wanted a foul called, while play continued and they scored. She was benched more than once, but her play did not improve. For the game, she scored 5 points and had 6 turnovers. She wasn’t alone, we dribbled and passed as if we were not playing a team intent on stealing the ball. We were angry, our Defense disappeared.

Tiredness, frustration, entitlement attitude influenced our play. Mental toughness was there no longer.

I have no doubt Kellie is addressing this. Afterall, understanding why we played the way we did will help the Team recognize these situations in the future, and not give in to them. Mental toughness means fighting more than the other team, it means still playing to win even when you’re angry or frustrated. I believe we can get it back.

GO LADY VOLS!

Seems like lately Horston has taken longer to mentally get in the game and she suddenly wakes up. The coaches need to get her attention. Shooting have been abysmal for a while, by many capable of better.
