Oh good, now I know who to put on ignore. Since I am new here I took you at your word and actually thought you had some connections. Obviously you don't know anything more than the rest of us.

Prepare to be called stupid and the reason the Lady Vols aren’t winning enough. 😉

I’m not. I’m also not petrified into one way of thinking. For such a progressive mind, you got a lot of “my way or you suck” line of thinking in ya! I trotted out Walz’s name before there was a vacancy. I’ve also been around (old guard) enough to know there no ONE WAY to approach a hire.

THANK YOU! Because I have a 7 month old daughter and I cannot imagine the anger I would have if she grew up to play college basketball and stupid fans criticized her on social media. IT’s one thing to point out flaws and mistakes, etc. but some of the things people say are just ridiculous. I’d vulgarly cuss out ANYONE on social media for saying something about my kid. Maybe I should let her play tennis or something. Lol.

If you have a desire to play high level sports then you have to have much thicker skin than that.....the mentally tough players rise to the top in all situations.

I dont have one way of thinking. Well maybe I do. I think we need to win. I know what it will take for that. That much I am not willing to back up on. Thats what made us great. Times are different now. Do I like that? No. But whether we all wish things could be the way they were, thats not how it works anymore. I say we both want the same thing, to win. We just see things some different. Ive not posted BS, I have posted the truth as I know it. I am not always right but even a kid can see most of this stuff for what it is.

I am going to personally enjoy responding to some of your comments over the next few years. Bet on that.

We’ll wait you out. You don’t seem like the patient type. Honest question. If you KNOW what’s going to happen, why do you so desperately need validation from a bunch of message board posters. You happen to be right “over the next few years”? Then what else you got? Prayers.

It’s your opinion. It might play out correct...it might not. You’re not above anybody else in that respect.

I wish I knew what was gonna happen. I dont. I do know the current path is not looking good for us. I have that much info. It dont take a brain surgeon to see this is headed one way.

You have the same INFO the rest of us do. And your own interpretation of the lack thereof.

Drug testing is entirely different and typically conducted by the NCAA, the university may also test athletes if they choose to. If you fail your drug test and test positive for an illegal substance you lose your scholarship, and you risk losing the ability to receive any federal financial aid. I suspect that's why she opted to go to a much cheaper school. I was involved in collegiate athletics, schools don't fuss around with failed drug tests anymore, its a zero tolerance policy on that front, regardless of what it is.

She would have been tested at the NCAA championships by the NCAA, as all athletes are. If she failed then she was doomed no matter what.

If she failed the NCAAT test, she would have had to sit, and she played a lot of minutes in both games. If she failed multiple UT drug tests, after the safe harbor and counseling, she would have been suspended a single game, then multiple games, before being dismissed. She didn't serve a suspension. UT generally gives student athletes numerous opportunities and the assistance they need to resolve issues before dismissal.

Hayes seems to be doing well in her new environment, as Cooper is doing at SCAR and Westbrook will likely do wherever she goes. I wish UT could have kept all the players that have transferred or left early in the past few years, and with a different environment, we probably could've.

So I was thinking, why would Evina say what she said about the coaching staff if she intended to leave all along? Probably so she could play right away at her new school and not have to sit out a year. She has a better chance of getting a waiver since UT will have a new coaching staff.

Seems like there are too many exceptions to the transfer rule and the decisions seem to be random.
