You have more faith in the NBA than I do and in Hammon’s lack of frustration with being a token candidate. I’d love for her to get a NBA shot, and I also don’t think she would take the job here, but that’s the caliber hire I think we should be pursuing. This should be among the top jobs in women’s sports given the environment and history and should be treated and pitched as such.

As long as she has Gregg Popovich in her corner ...she could get a NBA job...
Well respected coach in league for years...
Question is how much of a tenure would teams give her if she didn't do well in first season...

No one thought she'd go to the WNBA either, and yet there she is! She absolutely can be brought to WCBB, and if a program is willing to invest, anything is possible. Now would she want to take on the colossus that is the Lady Vol program? Who knows. But maybe a few million on that paycheck would sway her our way.

I'm also open to a few of the others suggested earlier (whose names I can't remember, lol) the Jackson State coach, the Indiana coach, the Iowa coach, and Alex Simmons if being a former Lady Vol is still a requisite. Keeping my eye on what she does in Memphis.

One, under the radar name, that would be worth keeping in mind is Megan Duffy. She has done extremely well with limited talent at a mid-major. Her recruiting chops are somewhat unproven but Marquette is not a high profile name in the women's game and she has done reasonably well in a regional sense. With Tennessee's profile and budget she could definitely elevate that aspect of her job performance. Most critically, the woman can flat out coach. Marquette has definitely outperformed its talent. Duffy is definitely a rising talent at the mid-major level.

First, I’m not old. And TWO I didn’t mention color. I’m speaking slowfooted and only fundamental with a lack of athleticism ON TOP of poor coaching. YOU’RE sickening and need to get a grip!

So coaches with worse resumes than Kellie?
Click to expand...

Kellie got hired for a sweet 16 run. It’s clear that’s about all she’s gonna ever do. Other coaches do more with less.

Alex is a new coach at a midmajor and while she’s lost to some really good teams; she’s beat everyone she’s supposed to and almost beat us on our court. She had an undefeated conference season last year and had her team prepared for the NCAA.

I’m not sure why you think quoting my posts is your best bet but you need to find another one. Energy is contagious and Kellie has none which is why her teams play lackadaisical and when players play with energy and feistiness she sits them because she doesn’t know what to do with it. Get someone who does and watch the fortunes change.

Aren't you the cat who was trying to tell everyone that Wells and Spears were the two greatest players ever, and were ready to carry
the Vols back to the TOP? Remind us how many of her 5 threes Wells made last night.....
