I hope Holly the hopeless figures out that if you are way behind and you can't stop your opponent for scoring two, you should work your offense thru shooting threes.... only way to catch up!

Well stated,Gule. Three pointers can make a rapid change in games,be it good or bad. But at least the three point shooters should see action(Middleton,Nared,Dunbar). No deficit can be made up when there are players on the floor that can't or won't score. Do you think when Tucker is cleared to play that she'll be in games or on the bench with the other freshmen?

Holly not giving her much of a chance to settle into the games. She has to get somewhat acclimated to the higher physicality and Holly yanks her if she misses one block out. Burdick missed about half a dozen and she stays in.

In the UTC game, Moore had 2 fouls in the 1st two minutes. Moore is not a strong enough rebounder either

I agree. Three years of those two and look where we are. Of course seems like Holly trying to screw up the three new freshmen.

Shes gonna lose their trust and its gonna be an ongoing cycle of players not trusting the coach, especially when you see players playing who are not really competing or not doing what you the coach are asking them to do which is rebound and play defense.

Unfortunately I think holly has lost the players. Reminds me of how the football players just kind of have up on Dooley in his last year. I just hope diamond doesn't change her mind about playing here. I do believe the coaching has been atrocious enough that those thoughts could have entered her mind

Diamond is the kinda player who will challenge Holly and her decisions, she is alpha and is so good, she's gonna be good in spite of bad coaching.

Give her a chance. But she's yanked so quick,when other players have longer leashes. Pokey Chatman could be a nice fit.

Pokey Chatman is a good coach, but will her past at LSU effect recruiting. I doubt Hart would hire a woman anyways.

Chapman is an outstanding coach. Wonder if those allegations were true? Can't go muff diving with your players though.

I know she's losing Nia, fa sure. Now you dont play for the coach, the players start playing for each other, that means the coach is just there. This past two losses are the coaching staff fault. I wonder if they take ownership.

Lol @ muff diving. in all seriousness though, pokey was a heck of a coach for lsu. Always gave Tennessee fits. I think her past though prevents her from coaching any college teams in the future

If your calling on Pokey go ahead and ring Bill Lambier for defensive purpose or get Lin Dunn to help out with the offense. I'm sure they wouldn't mind coaching at UT.

I think South Carolina had a women's basketball coach who went to prison for that in the 1980s.
