I have zero doubt that Kellie's motives and intentions are pure as the driven snow. She's never given us reason to think otherwise. I don't doubt she wants to do what's best for RJ, the team, and her own career, 100%. Unfortunately, all the good intentions in the world don't make her decisions right.

Exactly. This is why I'm beginning to wonder if it's been handled correctly. We just can't seem to get "it" behind us.

Of course I acknowledge that KJH has crucial bits of info we don't have. But it still doesn't mean she's right. I don't really care who's right or wrong, I just want it over.

Kellie has ALL OF THE CRUCIAL BITS OF INFO that you don’t have. As far as being right or wrong, the coach is ALWAYS right. Their team and their rules. You either abide by them, or you don’t play. Simple concept to grasp!

For sure one could find dozens of examples opposite to this thought but I almost feel like the really tall girls might take a little longer to make the jump from HS to college. The taller young ladies seem maybe a little thinner proportionally and need a year to bulk up a bit. Puckett and Pissott seem like this to me. But on the other hand Karo looked college ready last year. She looks great this year. She and Darby and Jordy seriously got after it this past summer.

Many times taller players require more development, especially those who have played mostly against high school competition where they were by far the tallest person on the floor. In many cases, the first time they come up against taller opponents is at the college level. They have to be coached to play in an arena where they will be more challenged and they are better defended by better coaching from the other teams. Many are thin and need weight training to bulk up and be stronger in the paint. Sadly, many high school coaches simply do not know how to, or refuse to, coach up taller players because the player’s height allows them to be at an advantage against smaller competition. Because they have the height advantage, many high school coaches do not hone their skills for the next level or simply pay less attention to developing such players.

Does that statement not depend a bit on the goals? If the goal is for the coach to show who is boss, then you are 100%. If the goal is to have competitive success and win titles, then sometimes coaches need to show a little flexibility. The idea that the coach can never be wrong is belied by the fact that coaches, say Urban Meyer at Jacksonville, can create terrible malproductive situations that tanks their team.

For clarity, I am not actually commenting on the Harper vs. jackson drama but just the general proposition that a coach is always right. Indeed that is a simple concept but it is not necessarily a correct one.

This is all true. People with natural talent or physical attributes can often coast, and basketball players are no exception. If you evaluate your results based on less talented competition, it can become all too easy to set your measurement of success against the same - rather than against your own limits.

Now, when you have a player with the physical gifts who doesn't coast - that's how you get a top recruit. That's how you get a Candace Parker.

Don’t doubt her choice, doubting the development she’s getting. Not sure about your not wanting to be a diva comment, unless you have a player in mind as an example. Rice seems to adjust at PG for UCLA, Julian Philips seems to adjust for the men’s team.

Due to being with USA basketball, Justine arrived on campus late. Then she has missed practices due to injury and illness. It was mentioned during one of Kellie’s pressers that Justine was still adjusting due to having limited practices. You can’t develop a player that is not available. Since returning from the concussion you can see her defense and overall decision making is improving each game.

Understandable in most cases but underdeveloped players don’t play for team USA, if anything they’re ahead. Concussion protocol sure would be a setback, except that was early on and has had multiple games, practices etc.

A coach is always right is like a drill sergeant is always right or your boss is always right.

The coach who IS always right is the coach that realizes that sometimes being "right" means acknowledging that someone else is right

Jackson is an issue. Not quite sure what you all dont understand about this. You can run your mouth to coaches and expect not to have issues. A wonder she is still here. Needs to be sent packing as soon as possible. Cancer.

Substitute Jackson for Harper and the discussion would be the same . GLV

Can you list the very specific facts that you've shared with us?

The facts where he created his account out of the blue the same week and day as he bashed Rickea for a week straight made YouTube videos spreading rumors about her to the public without any receipts or knowledge . But yeah he’s not the person behind the YouTube at all lol just a crazy coincidence how they all appeared the same day right?
