Unfortunately Coach Harper has to be replaced. The LV will end up with the worst season in decades. Out of the HoopsGurlz list of the top 100 women basketball players, Harper has only been able to recruit one in the past 3 years....that player came to Tennessee, played only 3 or 4 minutes per game and after 2 years left the program. At the moment Kara Lawson now has coaching experience and would be a good possible replacement and have Timika Catchings as an assistant as well. Something must be done to restore our LV program.

Didn't Harper just get a contract extension.

She is a great coach, but if she left the WNBA it would be for the NBA.

Personally, I think she realizes now that her dream of being a HC in the NBA probably won't happen. Don't see her taking on a losing franchise just to make history, but it could happen. She likely wouldn't want it if it appears to be a publicity stunt.

She has a good gig now but might take on a college challenge for the right money and with the right support. Her resume would open doors to top athletes with pro aspirations.

Recruiting is going to be a challenge regardless of who is in charge next year.

Fans wanting "big names" should remember that today's flavor of the month may not stay on top. A few years ago, Adia Barnes, Kelly Graves, and Scott Rueck were all highly regarded. Neither Arizona nor Oregon nor Oregon State even got any honorable mention votes in the last AP poll.

For all the hyperventilating, White is not going to pull the plug after this loss with two key players out. But, this bad stretch of games officially puts Kellie on the hot seat for the first time. But there are different levels of heat,. Right now, I think she is at kind of uncomfortable but I can take it heat. If Rickea is back, they need wins very solid wins against EKU, Wofford, and Liberty. A loss in that stretch would raise the heat level up a few notches. But wins in the first two SEC games (Auburn and KY) are probably moving into must win territory. I still believe they are going to turn it around and a go on an extended win streak but if the LVs open the SEC season with a pair of losses (in conjunction with the current struggles), the coaching situation could change very fast.

We sure Danny White will pay top dollar for a women’s basketball coach when he didn’t do it for Pensky, Weekly, Kredich . Not extending Pensky until the last minute and barely bumping Weekly and Kredich in pay

Weekly is a Top 10 coach at $500K and no title. Took her from $340K to $500K after the championship and WCWS run.

Vols finished 3th lose second NCAA tournament game not a blowout but a good team. That third place might save Kellie Vols turn it around. If they do not make NCAA at lease Kellie's going to get her 4 four million to six million dollar left on her contact. Football coaches got paid and Phil Farmer got paid Kellie should to.

Is 3rd place saving or settling? Kellie will be well compensated to not coach this team any longer.

"3th" gave me a chuckle. I'd say that makes me more of a spelling admirer than spelling police
