Is there a reason you can’t celebrate this commitment without taking potshots at the prior coaches?

I wasn't actually trying to take a pot shot at Kellie but I can see how it would look that way, I wasn't one of her naysayers by any means. I quite literally can't remember what it's like to have multiple top recruits out of high school, and it really does feel good.

Were not supposed to either on offense. Coach wants good shots and good shot decisions. She has commented many times on wanting better shot selection and better offensive decisions.

Confusing. I've heard her say that. But then we get told all the time here that the most important factors are possesion and shot attempt margin, rebounding margin, and forced t.o.s. And that's how we've been playing.

A facsimile of coach Kim putting next season's squad together...Speed and athletic ability is mandatory..."Don't let em breathe" will be the game plan... At the very least, it's going to be entertaining for us fans..

Yes, but it’s when, who and where those shots come from.

Just like the 4th quarter. Tess got those really good looks off good penetration and kicks and a couple oboard kick outs. That’s the way we want it.

Sara has been really bad about quick shooting bad 3s off one pass. We don’t need that. She is a great shooter but she needs to believe her teammates are going to pass it back. We need 3-5 quick passes to make the defense move and get someone a really good look.

Not a pull up secondary break 3 from a player who can’t pull up.

I honestly didn't know who this was and thought it was a football recruit from the pic. I mean no offense...and I'm glad we got her. It'd be nice to get that program in the same vicinity of where it once was.

You thought it was a football recruit...on the Lady Vols message board. No offense, but since you could type I thought you were halfway intelligent. Hmm, guess we both got it wrong.

Obviously application of thought is not a strength. Might opt for listening for a while.

Once again, she never recruited well at the P4 level. She couldn’t recruit before NIL was a thing. That makes NIL an excuse.

Very true…. she had a winning % a little over 50 at all her stops. She never would have been hired if she wasn’t a former Lady Vol. I love Kellie but I am glad that we went outside the family and found someone who has the qualities of a great coach. It’s great to be a Tennessee Lady Vol!!

You do not need a true post if you have an Angel Reese.If you have an athletic player who is between 6-3-6-5 who knows how to block out, refuses to give an inch or up, and is tough as nails, you will be good against just about any post player. You also have to attack the boards with several players.

Yeah too many people get caught up on size when it’s about desire.

Anriel Howard was always my example there. She was 5’11” but just had an insane motor and pursued the basketball with a passion.

Defend other bigs well because she often prevented them from catching with quick defensive footwork. She would get the steal or deflection before they ever got a chance to catch and make a move.

Is there a reason you can’t handle factual discourse over an abject failure of a coach?

Some of yall really need to learn to separate her LVFL status from her head coaching tenure. I love Kellie as a LVFL. Her coaching tenure became unbearable. No recruits, no big wins, all talk, no action.

It’s unfortunate she was put in a situation at her Alma mater she just wasn’t equipped for. It’s natural for people to make immediate comparisons given our recruiting last year vs 1 year later with a different head coach and a different staff.

Kellie’s playing days don’t insulate her from scrutiny as a coach in my opinion. Sorry not sorry.

That said, yes it’s a dead horse at this point, but there are going to be a lot of notable positives this year compared to the last few and it’s natural to draw comparison.

Not surprisingly, you missed the point. The thread isn’t about “a factual discourse over an abject failure of a coach”. It’s about the commitment of a great player. Let me try to simplify my point. If you want to criticize prior coaches, do it in a separate thread rather than backhandedly doing it in a thread about a great new recruit.

Criticize to your hearts content but do it in a thread for that topic. Be brave about it rather than try to to sneak it in where it isn’t warranted.

Exactly! Also another great example is Alysha Clark who played at Belmont and then Middle Tennessee State University. She now plays for the Las Vegas Aces and has won several titles in the WNBA. She has always played bigger then her size. She is maybe 5'11 but is relentless on the board and super athletic
