So, when is the press conference?

It reminded me of the Pearl press conference. I followed his 1st 4 years intently because of the fast paced style of play with the full court press and intense inbounds pass pressure. It was fun and different and they downed some great teams like Texas and Florida culminating with a #1 versus #2 matchup with Memphis. I hope she can bring the same energy to the program.

Pearl changed his style dramatically over the years. We never really were a full court pressing team all 40 minutes.

What we have seen the last 8-9 years has failed. I am ready to try something that has a chance to improve on what we have recently seen. I think she will be successful. She will have to get the talent to do it. Kellie did not get the talent because she has always had difficulty in recruiting High School‘s best players. Hopefully, she can.

She has the same philosophy it seems that coach Flo of Auburn did in her short stint in the SEC that ended up getting her fired. What worked so well in the Big East did not translate to the SEC. So to think what worked in The Sunbelt or Division 2 is just going to translate to the SEC is a wait-and-see. I just know more experienced coaches have tried it and failed miserably. What is the plan B if you are constantly beaten on your press or fouling people. Look at the Virginia Tech game. Marshall put them to the free throw line 41 times with that dominant press.

They also stopped the press conference there. That style has not been a winning formula in the SEC, i.e., Coach Flo, Johnnie Harris and even Coach yo when she tries going all out with that press. Top tier teams gonna beat a press all day long.

That is a tad strong .......

But in Danny Whites's words, it is not 3 years from now, it is now. So she may be aware of it, but can this group with the possible portal player additions make this happen next year. That is where the bar is.

Not like our program is all that right now. To be better prob won’t take much, I mean this past team ended up not ranked again, it again only beat Wisconsin Green Bay when this isn’t the NFL and lost to NC state. Expectations at UT should be win or leave, if I know that, I am sure a female that grew up watching the LV like every other girl in the country did, knows that is where this program belongs. Not hoping to win 20 games and win 1 game in the tourney. I love the expectations of winning

Well she sure isn’t going to be happy then when they cut her role out of the press conference lol

No she was available for media availability not the press conference

They posted it.. it’s also not a rumor but she seems like she wants to be sold

Especially if the rumor Jewel hasn’t committed to staying here is true.

Some of you might think I’m off here, but I bet Striplin excels in this new system, she can motor up and down the court and she has a nice stroke from three. I think a lot of Puckett, and hope she fits in as well, though Kim will need to work with her some on the transition speed and defensive assignments in a press. If Karo is not asked to defend the post as a 5 she should be good to go for a nice year in that system, imo.

I agree. Other teams have reeked havoc with posts who can shoot and pass from the perimeter.

Again, I think for most people it has nothing to do with Kim. It’s not personal, it’s the mourning of a program that was GREAT and that we expected an AD (heralded as one of the best) to make a move that would restore the program to greatness by hiring a proven, winner. A BIG fish. He didn’t, and for all the great things he has done for UT, this hire did not scream “I want to make the Lady Vols relevant again.”

It may not have screamed that to you but it did to me....

The new system will probably fit her better than Kellie’s. She was a prolific scorer at Wake and she could be that again next year. I’d love to see it.

Yeah I think all the guards we brought in fit better. Makes u wonder if there was supposed to be a change… again I will never understand her insistence of playing 3-4 forwards

You are predicting doom when she has not coached a second at Tennessee yet.....most premature in judgement ....time will tell.

Jewel explicitly said that she met with CKC and she is staying with her. So we are good on that score.

I thought she said she would know more after the second meeting? In the video posted of her interview, she said that they had a team meeting tomorrow and another one on one after. Not saying she is leaving, but I don’t think she officially said she was staying.

That was my favorite part.

John Adams sounds just as toadish in person as his snarky attempts at writing.

I loved it when she put him in his place, but she's made a media enemy for life. He thinks he's the smartest person in every room and won't stand for being slighted. Kim should watch her back around him.

Same here. Adams is such a creepazoid who wants to stir the pot. He was put in his place today.

At the end of the presser who was the couple that was with the coach for the picture with the jersey. Big donors?
