Agree, she was easily the best player on the court. Very sad we missed out on her. Hollivay, not so much....

Best player today, Tyler Scaife. Best team today, Lady Vols.

Maybe it's not mostly Holly's fault. Maybe we just don't have ANYONE who can shoot ?
A Ridiculous 3 of 15 so far

We have three freshmen who can shoot the ball and pass the ball. Play them.

Yeah, I wish Scaife was a Lady Vol, her game is like Lloyd from ND, an All American next year for sure, wish we had a guard like that.

Izzy looked like Izzy in the 2nd half. She'll be fine, cos when healthy,she is a beast. Mane wish we had some guards

The loser?

I was giving Holly credit for switching to zone and come to find out it was the players who decided to switch. Let's just let the players coach the rest of the year.

I think some people have misunderstood what Holly was saying...SHE called for them to switch to the zone at first but AT THE VERY END of the game (which is exactly what she says in the post game interview) she wanted them to switch to a switching man to man but the team thought it would be better to STAY in the zone that she previously had them switch to in order to slow down Scaife. So Holly does deserve credit here for showing signs of better coaching. She also used an early TO in the first half when Rutgers started to get on a roll. AND she mentions in the same post game interview that it's her fault for their poor offense and going forward she and her staff will address the offense and practice that more. So she is showing small steps in improving. Not a HUGE improvement, mind you, but it's a start. Let's hope she, as well as the team, continues to improve.

Did Michael Jordan win every game? Doesn't mean he wasn't the best player on the court...

I think switching to the man to man would have been a loss. Scaife could easily beat anyone we had and score. Holly needs to get with Tyndall that match up zone the men play that looks like a man to man but traps the ball handler is a great defense.

That's a great idea 2012! (seriously).
We could have the Lady Donnies.
