Lady Vols Game Thread vs Louisville NCAA Tournament

Holly's inability to coach offense will continue to be her downfall. Maybe she should hire somebody that knows just a little bit about offense and movement. Anyways it is UCONN's world and no real threat for them.

The thing is that everyone in the stadium knows that when Mercedes gets the ball, she will be double-triple teamed. For the life of me, I don't understand why Jordan isn't cutting hard to the basket for an easy, uncontested layup.

They are obviously being coached to give her space and let her go to work because no one cuts to the basket when Russell is doubled/tripled team they just stand and look

I know nothing about him.

However, if he is breathing and has active brain cells I'll take him as the next LV HBC. Done, done, and done.

He nearly gave Kentucky a heart attack on their home court with a bunch of players that Holly probably wouldn't look at twice on the recruiting trail. He had them playing at a very high level in that game.

I watched a little of UConn's game before it got out of control (about 10 minutes in), and they are such a good passing and moving team. No one is standing around. They are in perpetual motion and it leads to a lot of easy layups or open jumpers.

Lets say diamond and russell do leave, that still leaves nared coming back and with the number one recruiting class coming in, even if they are true freshman, there will be no exxcuse to continue to lose to unranked teams. All that does is keep tennessee going further and further away from the top 25. Eventually it will be a odu or la tech situation of being a totally irrelevant team..i dont think it gets to that point though as holly will be forced to resign or be fired if this inconsistency continues
 
My favorite part of the game was when Fuehring sailed a pass under the baseline with no one remotely close by, and Jeff gave her the "What the f*** was that pass?" when she came off the floor. And then repeated it in case she didn't hear it. He don't mess around.

I saw that. Haha
 
Its obvious this team really needs to bring in a really good shooting coach. I hate bring up that team up north but yiu cant help notice that every onr of their players shoots the same way everytime. They clearly have a great shooting coach.
 
Watching Jackson air ball wide open 3 pointers was remarkable. It is not like this game was in a dome and the depth perception was off. Just wasted offense with her and her free throws.

MR is a good player. But we need a feMALE down low. Athletic and quicker feet than MR. Middelton, Jackson and Reynolds are not Lady Vol quality players. Cant wait for some new blood next year.
 
New blood won't be any different unless we have a new head coach! Pretty bad when we start thinking about Geno! Hey! He's great ; have to admit it!

I'd love to have seen Kortney get up off the bench and go smack CHW on the head then put herself into the game for once.

It really doesn't matter what happens with the program as long as Holly is HC. They can recruit the best talent, but at some point you have to run a winning system and make correct in-game decisions. She does not do that and really is incapable at this stage.

It is obvious that the team needs a good head coach one that knows how to develop and motivate players.
