Game Thread Lady Vols vs Texas

On the stat sheet, we have 1 assist. I wouldn't have thought that's even possible to score 20 points and get just 1 assist. That's how dismal our offense has been.

I wonder what instructions they were given OR what the players are thinking to make them all stand around on offense doing seemingly nothing so often? There are simple flex offenses they could run. The few picks we set involve our players coming TO the person with the ball, when most should be picks away from the ball. I play pickup games every week and at the very least I just run around to try to tire out my opponent which is better than just standing still. Yet, many times a game multiple if not ALL players are just standing.

The offense seems fundamentally bad and perhaps needlessly complicated.

offense where 3 or four players clear out so somebody with the ball can go 1v1 and score--either in the paint or on the wing or top of key--except it never works! That is not team basketball. You have to have exceptional 1v1 players to do that. We should be playing TEAM offensive basketball--picking off the ball, passing, etc.--and we don't do it. We stand around and watching someone throw up a bad shot. But then this has been the UT offense for about 10 years.

She looks like a young coach and no matter how many years she was on Pat staff, she's not Pat. She needs to go to a coaching camp, cos what Pat lacked in x's and o's, she made up for it cos she could connect with players and motivate em and get them to play hard for her.

Holly strengths, what are they?

Remember when Graves was a freshman and an absolute beast? That's because she had good coaching in high school and little time to get corrupted by these idiots...

Our two best passers are Middleton and Dunbar. That's why they're on the bench. (Except for Reynolds. She can pass too.)

Because of nepotism Holly Warlick is taking Tennessee down the road to mediocrity. I use nepotism because Holly was Pat's choice. I have seen pee wee basketball that is better prepared and with more hustle. This woman is an unmitigated disaster.

She needs to spend some time coaching Maryville College.

Summitt was a terrible offensive coach, too--make no mistake. The game passed her by, which is why we started to slide. Our bad offense--poor passing and ball movement, few assists, etc.--started with her. PS's later teams could not score unless we had a superstar on the floor like Parker, even if we had 5 HS all americas. Warlick is more of the same. We are embarrassingly bad on offense.

Reynolds is not a scoring threat whatsoever, Neither is Carter or Burdick. Moore has disappeared the last two games. If she was defending or rebounding, she'd be playing. Middleton needs to play more

If they can adjust at halftime and comeback to win I will eat my words, but guess what...won't happen with this staff.

This team literally could miss out on the NCAA tournament this year for the first time ever. I'm wondering how diff that penn game might have turned out if burdick and carter had started the game.

Why are we starting Jones at the 3? Why isn't she backing up Graves at the 4? Why is Burdick seeing more minutes than Nia, Middleton, Dunbar, & Nared? Why is Holly trying to play Massengale at the PG spot when Reynolds & Carter are better there (pass first) Why does Holly allow 8-10 point runs before calling Timeouts? She is clearly in over her head and wasting/holding talent back, Diamond will truly Challenge her next season (call her out) because Diamond wants to win & came here with that understanding

Wow, I hate having to adjust my expectations for the lady vols. We are no longer the lady vols anymore. :( Diamond Deshields is going to have to do it all next year. I will refer em as Vols, from here on out.

They need to rotate Reynolds and Carter at the 1, Middleton and Mass at the two, Nared and Dunbar the three, Jones and Burdick the 4, and Graves and Moore the 5.

Someone needs to call holly out because she certainly hasn't figured it out on her own so far. if she isn't careful, hart will figure it for her
