Lady Vol motivation ^

Just watched coach address the media and the only thing that concerned me was the whole Starting line up will be earned based off productivity game by game....that's making me think of chemistry automatically , a starting 5 will need to be established. We should not be in the SEC tournament hell even in 2025 still changing our starting line up game by game. I do not like that approach . Still nothing about rebounding either...all offense and pace still and the new system.

I know they are different sports, but she should ask Joe Kurt of soccer about changing your lineup all the time. He got into the NCAA tournament last year by the skin of his teeth.

Edited to correct misspelling.

asking a soccer coach about Womens Bball in the SEC is not a good sign. I would not tell anyone else that.

I think you're like looking at a fuel injected engine, observing that without a carburetor, it won't work.

If you've been following the glimpses into practices, and what the players are saying about practices, they're building their chemistry on an 11- to 12-person scale, not 5.

Great analogy!

Sounds like we have a closed scrimmage coming up on Sunday. Wonder who it's against.

Well, everybody knows that the Lady Vols forum is a gearhead haven, so... lingua franca!

In that latest press conference, didn't Kim seem much more relaxed and at home with the media? She initially said the press conference part of being head coach of the Lady Vols was way outside her comfort zone. But I thought she nailed it, just being herself.

Very personable, even from behind that table. Love how she lights up when she recognizes or acknowledges a reporter. If the team impresses (by January) as much as she has... I think the future is bright for Lady Vols basketball.

Any "I don't know" quotes? lol

a starting five WILL happen, no matter who shined in the pre-ceding game ,,,consistency will win over "last game's star",,,trust me

Any rules that prohibit closed scrimmages from being against a team that's on your season schedule?

Who are the best teams within 4 hours bus ride from campus. (I just assumed it would be in TBA.)

Or there's always a west coast Big Ten Conference team in the air traffic pattern somewhere nearby...

I’m planning to follow Kim Calwell’s Vols this season. I haven’t cared about women’s basketball since my sisters played in high school, but if she can run an offense like they say she can, then I’ll care when they play.

I tend to agree somewhat. But having watched her teams before, there was always a corp group that always started. But usually two that would sometimes be different. If she rotates every few minutes like she has in the past, it doesn’t matter much. But yes she had a few that she wanted on the floor together it appeared.

Looks like CTV may be looking forward to it too! …caught at TSIO

At Marshall last season:
Rebounds per game average: 39.36
NCAA rank: No. 64
(1,299 total rebounds)

With more talented players as she has at UT, I expect the above numbers to improve vastly, not that the above numbers are bad.

I don’t understand those of you who say things like “She doesn’t care about rebounding.” Of course she does. If you had been listening to all of her pressers, you would know that among other things you’re off the mark about.

To be fair, they haven’t “heard about it”…enough, apparently.

You are correct, my good man.
