i think CHW will do a great job,the lack of depth showed up at the end of the season,I'm hoping there won't be any major injuries this year :) and I'm sure Baylor is paying Mulkey well

Kim makes $1.1 million. Last I recall, Holly got a big raise when she signed a 4 year deal in 2012 at $485,000 a year plus extras for performance plus a car.

Anyone think the Tennessee honchos would want to more than double the coaches salary to get Mulkey? Plus, would she even be interested? I don't see it happening.

I hope Holly is happy with her current deal, and it appears so is the administration. Besides, I don't see any other schools banging on the door to pay her more. So, it's a comfortable situation for all that probably will not change.

Mulkey is a decent coach but she is not the type of person I want as the face of the Lady Vols. Don't confuse her coaching ability with the team she just had. Griner was a once in a lifetime player and she only got 1 championship out of that team. I'll take our current staff and go up against her anytime. That's not going to happen because Mulkey has turned tail and run by cancelling the series. How convenient now that Griner is gone.

Maybe that's not such a bad strategy. Didn't Pat do the same thing when she cancelled the uconn series after they got Maya Moore?

Yes, but for very different reasons. She believed that UCONN landed Moore by dishonest measures.

She may have implied that, but was never willing to state her case. The NCAA didn't find any problem and Pat still cancelled the series. Pat's silence hurt UT and lends credence to uconn's position in the matter.

So now were faced with a situation where we don't play uconn and they have established new major nationally important rivalries while UT is left out in the cold except in Knoxville.

Only in your mind. Just yours. Not a world wide opinion.

How are the Lady Vols left out in the cold? What powerhouse program does UCONN play that we don't play? That would be NO ONE . Pat had her reasons and I don't care if the NCAA or anyone else didn't find anything, I trust Pat's judgement on the matter. Sometimes you have to do what you think is right whether it is popular or not. She has shown nothing but integrity while she was head of the program. Personally I would like for us to play them, and I think we will again someday. I think Holly will let some time pass and then the series will return. Just because we are not winning the National Championship every year doesn't mean we are taking the back seat.

I agree. ConUCONNfan seems to like to stir it up. The uconn/UT series was just that. Only a series of games. It was shelved for several reasons, IMO. One being that it was relevant or useful any longer. Some make too much out of it. And, I trust Pat's decisions on that, as well.

I'm just a women's basketball fan in general. I'm a fan of whichever school is doing the best job (in my opinion) during any given year. Y'all may not find this admirable, but it is a sure strategy for personal happiness. It means your team is always a winner.

I was a long time fan of the Lady Vols (Candace years, and she's still fantastic. Did you see her drop 30 the other night?) and started losing interest when Pat cancelled the uconn series and the top recruits UT was getting didn't seem to be able to perform while at UT, but did well in the WNBA (Glory for example).

And yes, I tend to be negative. When I'm not here, I'm out at McGhee Tyson criticizing landings.

The past year was a good one for my three favorite teams this year. L'ville, Baylor & uconn. I think Walz is a great coach and was rooting for them until Breanna Stuart started to catch fire at tourney time. I started losing interest in Baylor because I didn't like Sims' attitude and I always thought Griner was a slacker who mainly relied on her God given physical characteristics.

So that leaves uconn as my current favorite. They have great players right down to the end of the bench. Although some don't like his personality, they have the best coach. He's always able to devise a plan to shut down the opposition's best players. It looks like they will dominate the next several years, so what's not to like?

I'd like to see UT come back to it's former stature, but I don't think it's likely under Holly. This will be a critical year for her. She's an ok coach, but not exceptional. I like her as a person and am pulling for her to succeed, but she doesn't have good game management skills.

Much of the coming season is in Mercedes lap, but it will take her a couple of years for her to become a force. Graves is the only star quality player on the team. She will need to put the team on her back until Mercedes gets up to speed.

I've rambled on long enough. I appreciate that this site allows unpopular views as opposed to The Summitt site where closed mindedness is the rule.

I don't get the flavor of the month club fandom, but whatever works for you. Too bad you will never have that feeling of standing beside a smug UCONN fan as the Lady Vols brought home a title in Tampa. You may have been happy, but you will never know the true feeling of pride and happiness that something like that brings.

Now on to Holly. You have no idea what kind of coach she is yet. She has coached one year and did a pretty fair job. I think she is better than a lot of people think. I've seen every game she has coached and semi coached the last year with Pat. We will have a team to be reckoned with this year and not just because of Mercedes. Carter will be back and I think she will be special if she has recovered from her injury. I am excited about what the season brings. UCONN is on top right now with the best team, but I think we are coming back. GO LADY VOLS!!!
