Yeah it wasn’t a good look last year that his players were literally Twitter beefing at halftime of an NCAA tournament game.

For real. Can you imagine any of Pat’s or Kellie’s players doing that?!?! 😳. Imagine if they did. Probably booted off the team. Hell, almost zero top tier coaches would put up with that!

Neither would put up with it. Even Kellie, I suspect, would have benched anyone that did that at least for the rest of that game until they could address it.

It was Traylor and Owusu fighting on twitter and maybe one other player.

I wouldn't be so quick to make that claim. Harper may not be the greatest coach but she's no slouch either.

Eh I think her ceiling is 4th unless she can recruit better out of high school. She’s not the best in game coach either. Has trouble changing a game plan mid game when it’s not working.

That LSU game was infuriating to watch. We got out coached so bad by a team we were very much capable of beating. Looked like the plan was to push the ball and score early but LSU was getting back and we just ended up with 25 forced shots from Powell early in the shot clock.

Not sure its fair to paint Brooks with a broad brush over that incident. Owusu already had a history of problems at other programs, her Dad was an intrusive factor, and it was a bizarre situation. Owusu couldn't work her way back into the starting lineup after injury on a team that ended up a final four team. She disappeared from the VT bench during that game and when twitter wondered where she was, one of them tweeted "try the other team's bench" at halftime, which definitely shouldn't have happened. Apparently the LSU players were openly recruiting her during pregame and she was responding favorably to them. The Dad started some stuff about KB playing faves on a group chat, but since AO left, there's been nothing like that. And I believe AO was the only one he lost to the portal. That may very well have been a one off.

The second half of the last So Car game begs to differ. KJH outcoached the national COY DS by a country mile. The ball screens and pick n rolls she went to in the second half were great adjustments and sparked a monumental comeback that the nation's #1 D couldn't stop.

Also, it's an odd claim KJH can't make mid game adustments when the LVs trailed in the first half in so many of their early SEC games but came back to win them.

Not halftime adjustments. Real, live game adjustments. Like the final play of the SC game.
