Miserable because we know the truth about what a good basketball team looks like. And its not wearing orange and blue the past few years. Hints no final fours recently. You blue hairs need to get with the program. Oh wait you are thats why you accept mediocrity when it comes to the team.

If you are truly committed to getting to the Final Four, how much money have you given to the Lady Vol Boost-her Club so they will have NIL$ to get the talent that they need?

It's easier to spend somebody else's money on mega-salary coaches, isn't it?

The season was not great, how many elite teams did we beat out of 25-26 games? I’m going off the standard at Tn, if we was a Belmont or something like that I would be happy with the results. So next year if we are one and done in the tournament or don’t make it all all, what would u say then? Because with the roster we have currently, I can’t see us going far, but I’m hoping we get more in the portal.

1 meaningful win and a bunch of supposed to win games to ramp up the record to be misleading.

Before you address NIL, you have to address the investment the school has to the coach. If they go cheap you can’t ask the fans to do more.

There are many other ways for the players to get NIL$ and deals outside of the Boost-her Club. It's not all on the fans and alumni.

Better get the players before Mulkey does or the guy at Louisville. They have no conscience in bringing in players to replace present players. They will recruit over anybody that they can and I expect Mulkey will be working the portal today.

You mean like Kellie did in first bringing Powell and then Wells in (over Brooklyn Miles), Hollingshead (over Striplin) and Jackson last year (over Puckett)? And I'm sure Kellie isn't done either. I'm hoping she's looking for a better option at SG (over Darby).

Any coach that isn't looking to improve their roster through portal additions or recruitment isn't a very good coach.

The only one that never got off the bench was Miles. All the rest played meaningful minutes. Mulkey plays 7 to 8 players depending on foul trouble so does the guy at Louisville main reason we saw players transferring out of his program. We play 11 or 12 every game no matter who it is.

What we found out is we get beat by teams playing less players while we trot out 10+….which means quality over quantity.

That could be good or bad. Does it mean we have 2-4 players who are good enough to play more minutes, or does it mean we have 4-5 players who how about the same talent but are not talented enough to longer minutes. Are they searching for 1 or 2 of those players to have a hot night and be able to play more minutes at a higher level every now and then. One of the problems is most of those 4-5 players are better on offense than defense because of their lack of quickness. That lack of quickness also hampers their offense against quicker defenses. I would think that if we had quicker players, our defense would be much better. Most good offensive players also quick releases and I saw improvement in that this year compared to last year I also saw improvement in the physical condition of the team this year and believe another off season could continue the increase in physical improvement. I also believe that we need a point guard who is skilled in both offensive and defensive skills to become a contender for further advancement in tournament play.

Well said. The rigid schedule on reserves must go. Reasoned substitutions are fine. I have no problem with her playing 11-12. But to pull a player that is lighting it up is ridiculous.

To me if we play this many players in games that are difficult it needs to be because you are pressing and trapping all over the court which then you need depth. If Kellie would have pressed VA Tech from beginning we beat them not because of turning them over but because it awakens our team gets blood pumping. In CHRIST Alone

We get a few more smaller guards we could press the entire game with four players and just let Key stay down court if they ever break the press. Not enough quickness right now we may get there though.

That was true in a few games we played because the incoming players were not as talented as the out going player.

Pressing and trapping its not always about turnover its about making team use clock less time to convert on offense. We do need more speed at 2 guard however.

It is hard work so you need to be able to sub a lot without losing ability.
