So instead of giving another coach a chance to showcase her “potential” abilities she quits on the team and university. I can assure you someone will step up and make up for the points she gave us and hopefully not the Turnovers she gave us. Best of luck to her.

I agree. No one is doubting her potential (well I’m not) but if she has had a bad experience is her staying helping foster a good culture? From what I saw and read about CKJH at Mo St she was big on fostering that and doing things the right way. She said she even taught them the proper way to ride a bus...

Anyone who thinks Westbrook leaving is a good thing are sadly mistaken and don't know anything about basketball. Evina is an elite guard with a ton of potential, and this program completely squandered her abilities under a poor head coach and misguided fan base.
I'm sorry to see her go, and I'm very grateful she spoke up against Warlick and the coaching staff. Players should and do have the right to speak when things aren't right.

Holly Warlick didn't cause Evina Westbrook to make more turnovers than Arbys

Sad ganging up on a student athlete and her family.. All she did was tell the truth and as Jack said in the movie a Few Good Men Lady vol fans can't handle the truth.. Holly was a sorry ass coach and the new one we have now is sorry too. Think of all the years of mediocrity Alabama football went thru before they did the right thing and hired a proven winner in Nick Saban.. Westbrook you are a very smart young lady who made a very smart move in getting the hell away from the DISASTER called Lady Vol Basketball.

You and the other Evina lovers can swoon over her in a UT uniform.

So what are we suppose to do, cry and begg her to stay? Sometimes a star player doesn't want to stay let her leave to avoid distractions. Again, I would like to beg some fans to stop insulting our players, not saying that this was the reason.

I hoped she would return and work to make the LV much better this year. She was talented and had great court vision. Sorry to lose her, unless there were behind the scenes problems we don't know about.

I appreciate her time as a Lady Vol and thanks for her efforts while here. Wish her the best.

Have to wonder though about a player that throws her coach under the bus, coach gets canned, and player decides to move on down the highway. If I'm her next coach and institution I'd be side eyeing her 7 X 24, there's a character issue involved IMO.

Clearly you don't know much about basketball.

I continue to be amazed at people that are willing to defend Holly over her obvious shortcomings as a coach. If Evina goes to a school that runs a real offense, I'll be pleased when her turnovers go way down, because it's almost certain to happen. It's hard as a PG to not turn the ball over when you don't run an actual offense and your teammates stand there like deer in headlights. It's also hard to get assists when nobody on the team can shoot.

IIRC, the same thing happened with Simmons, DeShields and Nared. I can't put my finger on what the common factor is here. Hmmmmm let me think about it. Oh yes they all played in the same "system" that Holly coached.

You're trying to reason with a sect of the fanbase that's ecstatic with the program hiring the 2nd place coach from the MVC. Those same fans will see very quickly next season how much EW meant to this team...

We'll miss both of you at the Homecoming Dance. ;)

Yeah...because “leaving” only equates to transferring. Almost all of our players whether they transferred or went pro, looked MUCH BETTER in a defined, well-coached system. Westbrook will as well.

I’m still waiting on the names of players who transferred to another college and flourished.

Their situations were completely different.

Sabrina had her entire team coming back aside from Cazorla, plus the addition of Nyara Sabally who might be even better than Satou. They have a very good shot at winning the national championship next season which is why she's coming back.

Young was the only Junior starter, all 4 of the other major players were graduating and moving on. Young would have been the only major contributor returning in what is bound to be a rebuilding year for ND. Why not go out (almost) on top? Plus once Ionescu decided to stay that paved the way for Young to be the #1 pick in the draft. I doubt it had anything to do with her having problems with the program.

It certainly does have something to do with it. So before anyone says I am trying to be something I am not, I am not guessing here.....just dropping a little info for all.

No doubt she told
The truth about things needed to change. Especially the coaching. But as far as the “disaster” called Lady Vol basketball, you can transfer with her. I’m still rooting for these girls, this university and CKH!!
