What do we need to do to get that rolling? Imagine the eye balls and revenue a winner there could generate

Recruit north Kentucky, Alabama and Tennessee heavy and that will be a great start.

Good question.

Is the general consensus from those who follow women’s bball closely that we should rotate coaches every 4 years when they’re getting to Sweet 16s?

Pat didn't measure success by the Sweet 16, and that shouldn't be the measure of success for this program. Do you think Bama considers success finishing in the top 16? Pat was every bit as dominant as Saban or Bryant. The standard is the NC, and UT has the resources to get there.

The people that consider a Sweet 16 appearance in the NCAA tournament a strong performance for a high quality basketball program (men or womens) baffle me. All that means is that you won 2 tournament games against 2 teams that you were heavily favored to beat. That's nothing. The goal for elite programs should be Final Four appearances and national championships. The first game that should really even be considered a potential serious battle is the Elite 8.

Holly 2.0 is an awful, and frankly lazy, comparison. Holly and Kelly are both flawed coaches. But their strengths and weaknesses are completely different. If you know what you are looking for, the team has made some definite strides this season. Last season was difficult to watch and I was not sure if it would get better at this point. Some big picture structural stuff has improved quite a bit. It can be deceiving because of how poorly the season started. But the last month has shown some glimmer of hope. I think Kelly can continue to take steps to get to the next level of competing at the top again. I would not have said that last season. First thing that HAS TO HAPPEN though is for her to bring in an "offensive coordinator" assistant coach. We needed to be harder to guard with the type of action that we use on offense. This staff is in GREAT shape with some of the best talent in the country (some of which is in Tennessee) in the next few classes.

Not really, but to each their own

I don’t necessarily disagree. So do you think we should rotate coaches every 4 years if they’re reaching Sweet 16?

Also to that point, Tennessee has the resources to do in every sport. But are we holding women’s bball to a higher standard bc it’s done before? Is that the thought?

Again I don’t follow women’s bball that closely. Genuinely curious how fans who do follow it closely view it’s successes/failures on its own and compared to other UT sports.

Got some news today that shook me a bit. My son, who is 40, has to have a heart procedure. His doctor said he presents with paroxysmal SVT that is quite symptomatic. It's my understanding they're gonna do a catheter ablation procedure and it's successful in 95% of patients. I'm praying that he's in the 95% group.

His doctor is a cardiac electrophysiologist and I'm praying that he's a good one. They're trying to get him set for the procedure as quickly as possible. I'll be heading to New Hampshire as soon as he gives me the date for the procedure. Here's hoping everything turns out OK.

Great procedure and, like you say, highly successful. I had it done. Unfortunately, I was one of the 5%. Mine is better but still happen less frequently. I have found drinking water and excercise really helps. I hope your son is one of the 95% and he can go back to a “normal” life. I feel certain that will be the case. I am praying that happens.

As someone who doesn't follow women's bball why do you give a **** what the actual fans want from the program? KJH has made 1 sweet 16 and it took a desperation 3 from Puckett to beat Belmont on our home court to get there

But the reason the actual fans that watch women's bball are discussing KJH being on a hot seat is that game to get into the Sweet Sixteen had less than 5500 people in attendance.

Lol why you mad? It’s out of curiosity.

Are we not to engage in discussion on a message board?

And your last point is a fan problem, not a coach problem. Team playing for a Sweet 16 and no one showed up?

It never does. Good DB coaches aren't exactly a dime a dozen. A good many of them got by more on athleticism as players and struggle with being detailed enough. Not as simple as some on here think.

People always amazed me thinking it’s easy to get better coaches, players, employees, spouses….

 

[ACvol3]

Ohhh Rahm, not Ram.. gotcha

Thank you Buddy

Until Willie Martinez got ahold of him, he was.

Afraid there were still some after that. People expect perfection from other people. Especially in sports. Appears to me that DB is about as bad as QB to highlight imperfections.

They both have a great stroke.

 

[Batman1948]

He only won $600? Seems a little cheap.

I was thinking the same thing. Should have at least been $10K

My dad had an ablation done recently, and has felt better than he had in years.

Not sure how my reply was me being mad. I am engaged in your discussion just seems circular when you don't even care about the topic as you already admitted yourself.

My last point was poor attendance for the 2 NCAA tournament games that TBA hosted neither were Sweet 16 games. It's not completely KJH's fault, Holly steered the ship into the wall...KJH just hasn't been able to change the direction (yet).
I do think if the team managed to make a run to a Final Four she'd cool a lot of the doubters and help extend her tenure here.
