I'm not saying we have a team full of generational talents, but a good coach can get alot out of the players we already have. X's and O's, roster management, time outs, etc. really do matter.

Bruce Pearl year 1. I’m not a Pearl guy but doing more with less can be done by a coach who can scheme and get a team to buy in.

We lost to Indiana and Notre Dame , Ohio State …. I believe they ALL outranked us ? Which usually means you should lose to them ? And I believe Florida State are ranked #15 now ? Just saying

Everyone was excited that Key and Jackson were coming back to play this year ! But that has not happened…… what if they do start playing? I am looking forward to those games !!! Let’s see how the year plays out !

She’s made crystal clear her opinion regarding the university’s leadership. Doubt seriously that she would ever be considered a candidate.

Everyday AD White goes not correcting his coaching puts this program farther into the dirt. White does seem to care about WBB and proves it daily with inaction.

It's natural to view our beloved departed thru gauzey rose colored glasses. And Pat is the GOAT for sure.

But the truth is the LV program was in decline well before Pat even got sick. And for the same reasons Kellie struggles; far more good players and far more programs for them to choose from, plus a limited, outdated offensive system overdependant on rebounds and put backs. Pat admitted to that, to her great credit, and was seeking outside help to fix it when she got sick.

Remember when one of Pat's teams lost in the first round of the NCAAs? At home? That happened.

The dementia had a lot to do with it. You don't just, all of a sudden, get Alzheimer's. You keep saying "before she got sick". There were likely symptoms and recurring episodes LONG before she was diagnosed.

Wrong. Those of us who were around Pat know that the first signs of her dementia came in the 2010-11 season. BTW, the Lady Vols lost in the first round of the 2009 NCAA tournament, the year after Candace Parker left.

When all the cars have the same motor/specifications,,the driver is the difference
equally important is the pit-crew

Th,at true when they race I rock all star races . All the cars are built by one racing shop. They all get motors from the same place same design and parts same builders. Car body goes same wind tunnels-or real axel to the transmission is built same body shop using same plans. Nascar formula one drag racing top fuel funny car pro stock. They all built their own engine and car Fame and parts. And pit crew important but not as important as before nascar started driving racing in three Part races giving each team five minutes for the pit crew to work on the car after first and second round of laps they start final bunch of laps the same way they finished second bunch of laps. Nascar ruined racing all the changes. But not all star racing the cars are not the same. But get your point on team goes as the head coach and staff go. Side note like that Formula one and some other open wheel series puts a row bar above the drivers head . Small objects can still get in cockpit but shave some protection from Anthony car land on top of car. Tire from car less Likely to get in a different cockpit. And car Turn over on the track or hit hit wall drivers head is now better protected. Seen incar footage camera of one formula one driver car ends up on top of the other drives car theccamera goes black and the driver was killed. Now that's less likely to happen a tire getting in a car pit easy. Never did like those open cock pit cars. Now that's improving racing not this nascar timeout stuff where I only watch every now then. Will give nascar credit after Dale Earnhardt died they improve safety walls better car seat and horness and before when pit crew got run over a speed limit on pit lane during pit stops.
