Well, here's the thing. As everyone here knows, I'm a fan of Kim Caldwell and think she and her staff are doing a tremendous job, with the possible exception of providing adequate end-game preparation for the players.
The other night she had every right to be upset, but she appeared to me to not accept any responsibility for the loss and I, personally, believe she very well should have.
To get caught standing and looking in the last moments of the game is something, I think, could be avoided with regular training in practice for scenarios such as what happened Sunday. Now, maybe Kim did remind them to defend and box out and of the possible actions Vandy could try right before the last play was initiated, but I don't think that happened.
Of course she was upset. I noticed her eyes were slightly glassy in the post-game presser, so perhaps she'd gotten a little teary-eyed over the loss. Everyone associated with Tennessee was upset. I felt like retching myself.
But Kim probably owned part of that loss. She even went on as if the team gave no effort in the game, and that was, in my opinion, a steaming pile of bullsh!t.
I'm still very much on Team Kim and the Lady Vols.
