TN and UConn in talks to resume series

I've always thought that DeMoss left because she didn't get the head job here--and unlike Warlick she had head-coaching experience. PS was/is obviously tighter with Warlick, but friendship does not make a championship team.

The last thing that the LVs need right now is a beat down by UCONN. Need to get the talent and coaching back to where it was 5-10 years ago first. Geno the Perv will go out of his way to hammer us if we play him right now.

Never really could understand why you must call the GENO names?Geno the Perv


A regular season loss to the Huskies is basically meaningless as far as the regular season ranking goes. It would be smarter to play the Huskies once or twice during the regular season than to face them cold on the tournament. At least your team would have some idea what they were facing and you could make some adjustments going prior to the NCAA’s.

In a university release, Summitt sounded pleased about DeMoss joining the staff of Fever coach Lin Dunn. DeMoss' decision ended a collegiate coaching career that spanned 35 seasons. She spent 20 total years at UT. During her first 18 years, Tennessee won six national championships, and DeMoss was promoted to associate head coach in 2000. She returned for the 2010-11 season after four years as the coach at Kentucky and three seasons as an assistant at Texas.

Six of the incidents allegedly came out of UConn's 2005 Super Show, an annual celebration of UConn women's basketball that routinely includes former and prospective players. The incidents are:

• UConn alums Diana Taurasi and Sue Bird served as recruiters for the team.

• The media interviewed the [recruiting] prospects at the practice.

• Fans had signs directed at the prospects, clearly aware who would be present.

• Fans gave prospect's parents the signs they had made for their daughters.

• Bird and Taurasi allegedly served as hostesses for the prospects.

1. We can break down the 30+ pages of allegations. Either Bird or Taurasi or both (can't remember the specifics) were accused of chaufferring potential recruit(s) to a FF. Truth - both were out of the country.

2. Media interviewed recruits - I don't know the answer to this one but the NCAA determined it wasn't a violation.

3. Fans (actually it was just one sign) gave a recruit's parents a handmade cardboard sign that he had made welcoming their daughter on her UConn visit. The NCAA determined that it was not a violation since the sign had zero monetary value.

4. Bird and Taurasi served as hostesses. The actual allegation was that Bird and Taurasi had staged a meeting in a coaches office with a potential recruit (Doty?). They reportedly shared some Wendy's fries with her. All of the involved agreed that the meeting was accidental. The NCAA agreed.

5. Then there is the house. One candy colored clown on the Summitt started that rumor with zero proof and everyone in orange jumped on board. He was called out time and again and he refused to furnish any evidence to support his wild assed claims.

6. The website/purse thing. Allegations arose that Katherine Moore was illegally selling handbags on a UConn website and a UConn store. The truth is that Moore was selling handbags on her own website and in the UConn co-op store. The Co-op is not a UConn entity. It is independently owned and according to NCAA rules she had a right to sell her product there just like any other contractor.

I'm still waiting for coward VOL67 to provide the proof supporting his claim that Auriemma cheated.

It's disappointing that UT is in a position to have to "seek" a resumption of the series with them, but such is the state of the program these days. Had Pat not suffered her illness, we might have enough heft to work this out, but her retirement means we'll never be able to come to terms with them.

I don't think there should be any apology though. He picked his tone with "hating Tennessee" a long time ago -- this is just the fruit of his work, Pat's responses, and then the escalating dislike over the years. It'll probably take him retiring for the series to resume, and really, that's fine. Nothing good can come of putting our fanbases together, not for a long time. I doubt they or he would ever apologize for the things *they* said either, so I don't know what people expect.

Warlick vs. Geno: The words "total mismatch" comes to mind. When we hire a real head coach with some chops, then we should resume the rivalry. But not before.

When you land a Division 1 coaching job (i.e., never), then you might actually be qualified to comment on what it means to be a "real coach." You might even expect those with a modicum of intellectual integrity to take you seriously. But not before.

are /good/ coaches based on the fact that they are a div. 1 coach? If so, you haven't been around too many coaches. UT is a Mercedes program with Buick coaches--and that was true for the last decade or so of PS's run. The performances speak for themselves. If that fact bothers you, or my saying it bothers you, don't read my posts.
