Most of us realize that what were seeing is way below where we want to be. Still why act crazy after a loss cause were not the ones that control anything. She hasn't been able to recruit the players we need to be elite. Were average and whatever the reason NIL or some other reason until recruiting changes nothing changes with this program. I am confident that Coach Kellie could take SC's roster and win like they are winning. Dawn with our would have several losses.

You sh*ttin me. First of all half the roster wouldn’t have been recruited by Dawn to begin with. Dawn demands accountability. She also wouldn’t take this pussyfooting we do on defense neither.. Dawn is the heartbeat of that Carolina team.

What’s she been doing the last 4-5 years she’s had to recruit? She’s had plenty of time to recruit…she’s had plenty of time to develop and win games with lesser talent, but is 12-32 against ranked teams.

Dawn took a bottom feeder and made them a champion. Kellie can’t do that.

Evidently not, but she can take what Dawn has now and be a big winner. The fact she couldn't recruit is the big problem. It took Dawn five years to turn it around. Like I said it will all play out at the end of this season.

And Dawn did it without NIL and portal. Not the same hand

It took Dawn 5 because she built that program from the ground up.. That cupboard was bare unlike what Kellie inherited when she landed at UT.

Not true. Dawn would not have taken Jewel Spear off the court in the 1st qtr when she was scoring at will.. facilitating the offense and playing defense.

People it’s a known fact when a player is hot you don’t take the ball out of their hands or sit them down. You coach this in practice, so the players know, every game is made harder than it has to be.

Spear scored 30 and could’ve easily went for 40 but the coaching and some one on one basketball from other players took her out the game.

With Dawn coaching this is an easy win for Tennessee.

The sign of a great coach is always having players play above their ability, caring about the team, being physical, etc. Harper couldn’t coach a 5 year old out of a paper bag if she had water and scissors on the sideline. And let’s just forget about the paper bag putting up a fight, cause she wouldn’t know how to call a timeout to regroup. She’s awful…period.

She took her players off the court when they were playing LSU. LSU played theirs all the way through and in the fourth quarter had nothing left or fouled out. Players must have rest and she wasn't out that long. She played well over 30 minutes nothing unusual about that.

Powell is just a ball hog. Takes shots that make no sense. Always nice when your point guard leads the team in turnovers. Striplin can play, I think she just knows that she will be pulled after 2-3 mins of play whether she’s 5-5 or 0-5.

Minutes? Agreed. Assistants drive the substitutes.

Agree…many here believe the refs had a part in the game. A good/solid coach can coach, strategize and motivate around that. She just played the oh well, let me pull my hair back.

She didn't start winning anything until year five. Then she got a top recruiting class and that is how it started. Now she is like everybody else except South Carolina is loaded with high school talent and that isn't the entire reason, but makes it a lot easier.

Not disagreeing, she turned a program around by recruiting, coaching and elevating. She wasn’t handed a quick fix, she was handed bottom of the barrel. Now she can reap the work
