Nothing but heart-healing thoughts from me

criticism doesnt mean you hate the program the players or the coach. bottom line every failure or victory is the coaches responsibility and she would agree with that. questioning why fundamentals have continued to plague their play is on the coach. lack of an offensive system that plays to the strength of the team is on the coach. like Key getting few touches while other players do this i can do it on my own crap game in and game out. this team has so many careless unforced turnovers every game. thats on the coach. i love this team and have been very vocal about the upside and the downside. i have said in the past that i thought Darby had no business on the floor. And i ate my crow to that one. She has proved my wrong. She started moving on offense hunting her shot and she has become a good rebounder and defender. But whats hurting this team right now is lack of leadership. Call me crazy but i think going into this season Burrell thought she was the leader or one of the leaders of this team and it all fell to Horston. Now that Burrell is back she is forcing the game instead of letting it come to her. And Horston is trying her best to shoulder the weight and sometimes she forces it as well. Walker shows up one game for 17 points and disappears for the next 3 or 4 games. And Green was apparently the true leader of this team because her injury coincides with this losing 3 of 4. I have confidence Harper is the right coach for the job. But bottom line win or lose the Coach is the one responsible for the team. Hopefully she figures out what the issues are and gets them back on track. Time to take down those Tigers and they are going to be tough even in Knoxville.

I would rather see a team improve and shows signs of a competent coaching staff. Why is CH so against calling timeouts to stop runs by opposing teams? If you look at the schedule and at least 8 other games could have easily went the other way. Would 11-12 be considered ok? Yes they won those 8 games. But those 8 games should have never went down to the wire. So forgive me if i demand more from a second place SEC team that was ranked #4. You confuse my desire for these girls to improve for hate or anger towards them. Im no different than and diehard fan. For those who say lift them up and support them through the down times. We are not here trying to pile on them and keep them down. We are expressing our concerns for why the bad habits from Hollys teams keep happening in year 3 of Harpers tenure. My goal is to see them win every game the same way South Carolina does. But there is either a talent gap or a coaching gap. Either way Go Lady Vols and beat Missouri.

Why do you follow a team if they upset you so much? Why not find a team that plays the way you want and root for them? What is the point if you can't enjoy your team?

Sadly the lady vols fanbase has witnessed this pathetic play so long that they are fooled into thinking a 19-4 record means that there cant be anything wrong. Anyone can see the problems on the court. This team had 8 other games that could have easily put them at 11-12 on the season. When they are spanked at South Carolina maybe they will see how far recruiting has fallen and how far the distance between top teams and where the lady vols are actually at.

So, what is your solution to the problem?

Fair enough. You're frustrated that in year three of CKH tenure we are not elite, and in your view stuck in the same rut for years. So, what is your recommendation to get us out of that rut?

That has to be the dumbest thing ever posted on here. You dont quit rooting for someone because they arent winning or playing the way we come to expect from them. I swear this fanbase has some of the dumbest sports fan trying to make comments about a sport they really dont understand. This isnt an everyone gets a trophy level like little kids.

its obvious. overhaul the roster via the transfer portal or recruiting. and hire an offensive minded assistant coach. if that is to much for you to handle then that means your fine with the product out there. everyone keeps seeing 19-4 and thinking the orange koolaid has sugar in it. they are lucky to be 19-4

It's a legitimate question. You and several others obviously don't like the team or coaches and have to resort to snarky and cruel remarks to make yourself feel better? You have zero influence so why stay around and troll? Is it you like being a mean person? A truck driver should be the last person accusing someone else of stupidity.

Spoken like someone without a clue and not responsible to anyone for the outcome.

You are one of the most purely mean-spirited posters I've ever seen. You'd think that your recent loss might have softened your heart a bit, but you appear to have doubled down on the meanness. Congrats.

Look at who liked his post. The same one that went to the mods to have a post deleted.

Thanks for all the complements, but you really never answered my question. You complain that the lousy play has been going on since the days of Holly. That's years ago. Why would you allow yourself to be upset every game for years without dropping the LV's as your team? You know that Kellie isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so that means at least a few more years of misery and anguish for you. I guess it's like John Majors said: There's a legion of the miserable out there and they love to be miserable.

So good news is never really good, in fact a 19-4 record is bad news. Wins are just luck, and losses are deserved. I get it. Just curious - have you EVER posted anything positive about the LV's under Kellie Harper? Did you congratulate the team after the SC victory last year? Or the Texas -or any other win - this year. Anything positive or congratulatory? Ever?

I understand seeding is important. Not being a 2,3 or 4 seed isn’t the end all. Shoot, I’d rather be a be a 7-10 seed. TN will be alright. Get it together, as best they can, make a strong run in the SEC-T and go from there. Every team resets to 0 wins/0 losses come tournament time.
