Holly had several great classes and even a No.1 class. How did that work out? This is about feeling the freedom to set your own course as opposed to following what "Pat" did or would have done. It's the internal pressure from being an alumni who played for Pat and the outside pressure of the fan base. That doesn't happen to Kara at Duke...it would have at Tennessee. It's apples and oranges....(with the orange being Tennessee...lol)...

I think it is presumptuous and to a degree hubristic (on the part of the fan base) to think Lawson would be so impacted by this "assumed" pressure. IMO, it would be less of a factor than people think. Obviously, there really is no way to know.

I never said it did or would....I said it could. You need to read and comprehend better. Hubristic??? You learned a new word. Good for you. The fan base pressure will always be there, and internal pressures will always be there....but carry on with your claims of a "hubristic" statement....lol....

Lol do you read your own posts...."That doesn't happen to Kara at Duke...it would have at Tennessee". Don't see could in that statement.

In addition, you make a statement claiming apples and oranges, which assumes a degree of permanence to the differences between the two coaching situations. Apparently your argument doesn't really have that degree of permanence. My comprehension is just fine. Unfortunately, your post doesn't match what you intended to communicate. Thank you for clarifying. Oh and sorry hubristic is too big of a word for you. I'll use a thesaurus next time!

I did look it up, that's why I showed you, you were wrong. It was founded in 1801 as "SCC". Use that if you want to talk 1801. Otherwise, you're lying.

Not a USC fan (nor boy anymore). Just don't like when people try and steal things.

Condemnant quo non intellegunt.

I suppose you lose your…defecatory material…when someone says that Columbia University, formerly Columbia College, founded as King's College, was founded in 1754.

The institution where Dawn Staley coaches the WBB team was founded in 1801. If the subsequent name changes are challenging for small intellects, that doesn’t alter the relevant dates.

What evidence do you have that collegiate logos were used in 1801? The current logo of USC 1801 is new and it replaced the older U of SC shown here. It's in very poor taste for a forum member to be calling another member a liar or that their alma mata is propagating a lie.

The pressure "would have" is different from "the results would have"....geez....you are reading something into what I said...not what I actually said. Just admit you learned some new words and you tried to spin them on my post. It's OK...new words are good. Distorting my words...not so much. I am happy that your vocabulary is expanding, now practice on your comprehension level.

Exactly...Kara would have been under the same expectations and pressure as Kellie was under. It's misleading to think she would not have suffered the same fate. The advantage that Caldwell has is she doesn't have the "alumni" pressure that Kellie and Holly had. That is a very real thing and probably would have affected Kara also. Things have worked out for the moment for both.

I didn't misunderstand anything. You do realize you said would in regards to affect (impact) in your previous post? Sorry, I thought the previous post's info was implied in the post I responded to originally and then quoted.

Expectation do not always lead to pressure. I think it is very hard to separate pressure from its impact because pressure is largely mental. The individual determines the level of pressure based on how their mind perceives the situation/expectations and how they respond to their own perception determines the level of impact. What causes pressure for one person doesn't necessarily cause it for another.

It's unfortunate that you can't make a point without devolving into insults. Seems like "new/big" words are triggers for this type of behavior

GL to the UT Men’s team today. I bet the Auburn coach did not cry to the media about the tournament being held in TN in his post game presser like Vic did over and over again in his post game presser about the WBB tournament being held in SC. For some reason, Vic felt the need to use that as the excuse for why his team couldn’t score more than 16 in the first half. He is a good coach, but his whining was below both him and his program.

To be honest, we were chartered in 1801 along with UGA and UNC.

None of them actually held classes for about 20 more years

"The University of Georgia brands itself as the "birthplace of the American system of higher education." A site was selected for the university, but it did not begin admitting students until 1801. The first graduation was held in 1804."

"In 1798 seven students graduated in the first class at UNC."

"Initial enrollment at the University of South Carolina on January 10, 1805 included nine students"

As a freshman at the University of South Carolina did you by chance take the University 101 course? I often lectured those classes when they visited our State House so accuracy was important.
