How good is the team Coach Caldwell will inherit?

The best thing that Caldwell might have going for her is not her "innovative system" or her West Virginia fairy
dust, some of which apparently drifted south to Knoxville and fluttered down into White's coffee a couple of months ago, turning him daft.
Rather, it will be money. NIL cash, baby.

White is smart enough to know that he put he put a big chunk of his credibility on the line with
this very unconventional hire. At the same time, we've entered an unfortunate period in which success seems determined less
by old-fashioned coaching and recruiting acumen and more by how much money your program can raise and use to buy
talent--buy players.

Thus I'm sure that, starting now, White will be dunning the program's donors/boosters like never before--working to help his new, youthful charge acquire some good players and teams. With the right talent she can win games and, in doing so, boost the program and protect/enhance the AD's reputation. With enough NIL payola, Caldwell, like most other coaches, will function half as a coach and half as the scion of a wealthy family with shiny toys. It might seem something of a cynical take--but not if we're to believe all those
who argued that an insufficient bribery fund has been at the root of our recruiting woes. If there's a literal change in recruiting fortune,
then it will be a big benefit to our new coaching ingenue (and tough luck for Kellie).

Don’t your fingers ever get tired of posting so much drivel. You are constantly trying to show DW in a negative light, but all you really achieve is showing how little you know about everything you talk about.

This post is simply stupid. You do know that Danny White hired Bobby Hurley and Nate Oats when he was the AD at Buffalo right? Maybe you didn't know that he also hired Lance Leopold for football. Then at UCF he hired Scott Frost, followed by Josh Heupel, and he hired Johnny Dawkins. Then at UT he hired Josh Heupel, and Duane Ross for the track program who both have hit the ground running very quickly.

If you had any sort of understanding of what Danny White looks for in coaches, you might not post such a stupid post. He has always prioritized coaches with "innovative offenses" in all sports. Danny White has many many times explained his coaching search philosophies, and he has always said he prioritizes modern ideas, innovation, and exciting offensive coaches. He has never put much stock into hiring guys from famous coaching trees, former players, or big splash hire names. Everywhere he has been, his coaching choices have flourished and moved on to bigger and better conferences.

Caldwell has an 88% winning percentage. She has won her conference 7 out of 8 years. She has won a national championship and been to 2 final fours at the D2 level. In her first year with a terrible Marshall team she took them to their programs most wins and a NCAA tournament and won the conference going 17-1.
The state of West Virginia loves her and she has brought excitement to Glenville and Marshall's women's programs that didn't have many fans or excitement. West Virginia fairy dust......lol You sound like such a snobby elitist prick in your post. Caldwell's offense and high pressure defense is much more modern and exciting to watch. The days of half court defense, running the shot clock down, avoiding transition type games, and a strong focus on post play and rebounding is over. Caldwell is going to play a very similar style to Nate Oats.....very modern NBA driven. Not a lot of mid range 2's, a lot of 3's, transition baskets and drives to the basket drawing contact or kicking it out for a 3 or an easy lay up due to wide floor spacing.

A modern offense with an exciting brand of basketball along with some new fans and hope is going to do much more for recruiting than your NIL is everything and Danny White is suddenly going to shake down the donor's for the lady vol's program now theory.

KJH tried to run transition all year, I can argue we were our best in transition. Her problem was a lack of athleticism and poor roster management in recruiting. Her problem was teams forced us into half court by controlling the boards and our defense did not turn them over enough to run.

Would like to see her meet with Key and her sister ( Teona who is in the portal ....played @ NC ) tonite and maybe she could convince Key to comeback for her Covid year to play with her sister.
Second ,I would look into the 6'7" center ( forgot her name ) from Portugal who was committed /signed with Va Tech since Brooks went to Kentucky so maybe she will be back on the block.

Hopefully someone will be left over there that has been involved heavily in recruiting and monitoring the portal and our new coach can start the recruiting in a sprint.

My thought exactly about the Key sisters. Maybe, KC can convince Tamari to change her mind and Teonni to transfer to TN. GBO.

White proved a lot of people wrong about Heupel. It will be the same for Caldwell. Once she gets her players our fans will love the high scoring offense and massive pressure defense. Fans will fill the Food City Center and women's BB will be a revenue maker. That will make White and Lady Vol fans very happy.

She wants to run, shoot threes and pressure defensively. Three things Key can’t do🤷‍♂️

Just listening sometimes I can tell certain people don’t want to win, it’s all about keeping players they like or whatever, we need to build a winning roster and that’s it.

Which top transfers or future top recruits are going to be with playing half the game? This is a gimmick that works against low skilled opponents.

LOL. Arkansas played that way to a national title. ”40 minutes of He!!.” The players she had at her other stops were equal to the other teams she competed against. So, these lower level players can play this style, but the elite athletes she will have access here at TN can’t? LMAO

It’s not that they can’t. It’s that the elite level athletes she plays AGAINST have no problem.

Can’t wait till our exhibition win again Carson Newman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

How many other schools will be in shape to play that kind of ball? You continue to show your lack of knowledge.

turbo ain't that far off, he's just too cynical about it. DW better have his NIL house in order. NIL is imperative to the new coach's success, further she's in no immediate position to be doing the fundraising.

I have wondered if DW lost faith in Harper due to disagreements on how aggressive to be with NIL and how to deploy it.
