Game Thread Lady Vols vs Ole Miss

[Batman33]

She is the reason our offense sux. She was great but she was clueless about teaching good team offense--and her trusty cheerleader friend, Holly, is very determined to carry on the same pathetic offensive tradition. Despite the very obvious fact that our high-school offense is the reason we sux, and we struggle to get to 50 points every game while UConn is scoring 80+, Warlick keeps talking about effort and doesn't play the best shooter on the team because she claims she not great defensively, when in fact we have no great defenders and a lot of bad offensive players. We are the lowest IQ program in America.

Very fair criticism...sorry a couple want to personally attack you for it. Well done.

 

[Vols4life]

13k loud cheering fans at TBA disagree..Dewey said himself that the vast majority that talks to him support Holly and the team..it's just on here to pump out your chest and call for her to be fired behind anonymous screen names

lol:lol:lol: We don't avg that anymore but you know who does South Carolina they are at 14 and lead the NCAA you know like the LV used too!! And there were only 10,500 there tonight :good!: and that's probably tickets sold not the actual number....but you keep backing Holly go you :crazy:

She stills sucks as a coach the majority of her wins have come against weak non conference teams and when she had more talent that most of the other SEC teams. Her record against the top ten is like 1 and 15.
She is 0 and 4 versus Notre Dame, 1 and 3 versus Stanford, 0 and 2 versus Baylor, and 0 and 2 versus Maryland, 0 and 1 versus Louisville. Plus 0 and 3 versus South Carolina in the last three meetings.

 

[Vols4life]

How is that relevant to now? I'll wait? What has she done for UT lately? I don't see any Final Fours or National Titles as a coach on that Resume

Nah Holly supporters think only the SEC matters now....no more FF or NC....the SEC is where it is at for womens basketball :thud:

 

[mlindsay]

3 championships in 3 years, 2 Elite Eights..80% winning percentage 2 coach of the year awards...WTF have you done?

3 conference titles wow! I've won AAU tournaments and High School Championships as a Head Coach and Assistant Coach also, has she won it all? At the end of the day thats what we play for right?

 

[VolnJC]

Just curious, were you expelled from UT or something of a similar bad nature? You seem to have a lot of hate in you.

Honestly what it is...and it is extremely sad..is that many on here have so little in their lives that UT sports is their "all" and someone has to pay for making them sad..same is true for the NegaVols in the FF..it's just a game..win or lose it doesn't affect your life whatsoever..I just hate to see good people, like Holly, who has given her life to UT ball get destroyed by people who have no life

 

[utkCREW]

I'm sure we'll hear Mickey Dearstone in the morning applauding the Vols and Holly for their triumph over a surprisingly impressive Ole Miss team (sarcasm)

That man single handily contributes to the death of Lady Vol standards of excellence.

 

[Franklin Pierce]

You guys get to wear yourselves out on this board for another year or so bit*hing, because Holly Warlick will be the coach of the Lady Vols next season.

Your welcome.

 

[VolnJC]

3 conference titles wow! I've won AAU tournaments and High School Championships as a Head Coach and Assistant Coach also, has she won it all? At the end of the day thats what we play for right?

Maybe you should apply for the job..looks like you have what it takes there hoss

 

[alexvol]

We will struggle against any team that can put 5 warm bodies on the floor, seriously, because our offense is so bad and we can barely get to 50. This is why we get beat by bad teams or squeak by--because we are very bad ourselves.

Amen.Another prime example of Hollyball tonite.The SEC has some really bad teams....Tennessee.Ole Miss,Arkansas,LSU,Missouri,Vandy,Bama ,Auburn.... and some average:teams....Georgia,Kentucky,Florida,Mississippi State,Texas A&M and one good team South Carolina.

If the LV's make the NCAA tourney the odds are that they exit either in the 1st or 2nd games.

She accepted a position she wasn't ready for and it comes with the territory! We expect excellence at UT and I refuse to settle for complacency! You can but many of us wont! Holly shouldn't have agreed to do it if she couldn't take the criticism

 

[Spacejam]

Well the goal is to win more than S titles

 

[VolnJC]

Try this guys..Go stand in front of the mirror and repeat this over and over till it sinks in
"I'm angry because the team I cheer for only beat a bad team by a few points"

Of course, it can be said she is doing that herself. She signed up for the job...not a place for mediocrity...

Wow so what other things make you that upset in life?

 

[Volfan2012]

Expectations versus results picked number three in the nation behind UConn and SC and we are in the middle of the pack in the SEC. Lucky for Holly that Dunbar hits that three or we go home with another loss. That three killed Ole Miss momentum and it is from a player that can't see the floor more than 3 or 4 minutes a game.

Center of the bull's eye !!

So her crime is being offered a job and accepting it?

 

[Batman33]

She had to apply in order to be hired.

Has it ever been said why Nia Moore hasn't seen hardly any playtime? She shows flashes of good play, but no one gives her the opportunity to sink or swim...

 

[VolnJC]

So you guys are saying that we should have fired Pat..because her last 4 years she didn't make a Final Four and had equal the number of wins and championships as Holly?

2008–09 Tennessee 22–11 9–5 5th NCAA First Round
2009–10 Tennessee 32–3 15–1 1st NCAA Sweet Sixteen
2010–11 Tennessee 34–3 16–0 1st NCAA Elite Eight
2011–12 Tennessee 27–9 12–4 2nd NCAA Elite Eight

 

[Volfan2012]

It isn't about one game Holly has been schooled by freaking Virginia Tech., Florida, Mississippi State a team we had never lost to, and seven others ten losses and before the season is over this Lady Vol team will have lost more games than any Lady Vol team in history.

 

[mlindsay]

So her crime is being offered a job and accepting it?

Her crime is quickly destroying everything her former head coach built, instead of realizing like many of her peers and non Tennessee hired analyst have witnessed (she isn't the person for the job) she walks around like there are no issues blaming everyone else

 

[Volfan2012]

Has it ever been said why Nia Moore hasn't seen hardly any playtime? She shows flashes of good play, but no one gives her the opportunity to sink or swim...

She played quite a bit tonight. Early to mid-season she had a rib injury and couldn't play. I expect she'll get five to ten minutes the rest of the season.

 

[utkCREW]

So her crime is being offered a job and accepting it?

go find the happiness and rainbow forums...leave the 'reality' forums to people that truly love the Vols enough to ***** and moan when they don't live up to a certain standard of excellence that is expected for such a storied program.
