You guys are too easy. What coach has ever not thought or said what she did. Of course none of them think they are in over their head to begin with. Hope she kills it. Tell me, why her though? Why did the Vols go the cheap route?

"You guys are too easy."  Exactly what does that mean?  They just said they liked how she handled the presser. Do you think she handled it poorly?

Is there any post above where anyone, I dunno, says "she is the next Pat Summitt", "Final Four here we come", "this is the greatest hire ever!". 

What exactly are you implying?   

As for "going the cheap route" I can't answer that on substance without knowing what the going rate for women's basketball coaches is, and I don't care to look it up.

Dropping the "cheap" part.  Danny White stated he found someone with "potentially a very large upside". In other words, he is going for potential, not a proven track record.  That should be obvious.  It might work, it might not, but I love her attitude, intensity, and energy.  And while I love Kellie for what she meant to the Vols and for trying hard, I didn't get that energy from her.

Do I think she is a lock to get us to the FF and hopefully another naty?  No, of course not. That would be idiotic.  Do I like what I have seen so far?  Hell yes!  She had me fired up wanting to see how well she does.  She oozes youthful energy and enthusiasm.  A knock on Kellie was that she is out of touch with todays players (says a player that went to Junior instead).  She gives a vibe of being very in touch with today's players. I like it. I want to see more. Never thought that about Hollie or Kellie.

Danny is swinging for the fences on potential.  I like gambling. Do a fair amount of it.  I think we might just win big.  If not, we can move on to the next try.  I like what I see so far though.

and Shack

No!  That suxes.

Hardly shocking. UConn is arguably the most successful program of the last 30 years, if only by a nose.  Why go anywhere else? 

And Hurley himself has already said hell no publically. 

If there was any, it was 100% unintentional

Yes. Unintentional.  I mean I am enjoying laughing at her, not getting mad about anything.   

And I have no idea what you are referring to anyway.  Do you (a) know her from past experience, or (b) checked her out and didn't like what you see?

Because this is the first time I have ever heard of her, and aside from laughing at her gaffe, could GAS whatever else she may have said.   

[OUR]

Please note "OUR"

It looked like your comment was a quote from the UK board.

I checked...Aiwaka is a big loss.  Aidoo and the others...I wish them well.  Aidoo was just too clumsy on offense for me, though his defense will be missed.  There is also a critcism that his defense fades against the top big men, and that seems like a fair criticism. In short, I think he is replaceable.

Losing him AND Awaka is a bit much. 

I have read that Awaka might come back. If so, the portal stuff is a nit.  IMO.

Option 1 it is.     

Ehhhhhht!  It wasn't 50.   

Wow, any players we might want?   

I thought I heard the entire Arky roster is also entering the portal.  Did Calipari set some sort of record for driving players away?

Apparently, this dumb broad hasn't heard of twitter, just to concerned with it's agenda

You DO see the humor in her tweet right?  I certainly do.   

Also, Texas A&M won it in 2011, but that was one year prior to joining the SEC

Meant to add, I thought MSU had won one or two, but they did not.  They have lost in the Final twice

Vols have 8
USC junior 3
LSU 1

So the rest of the conference has 4 total to our 8.  Having said that, I don't see Dawn Staley going anywhere and I think Junior can wrack up a few more.

Here is hoping our new coach gets us back to that level, and the sooner the better.   

....Surprised they called it in that situation however.

Yes.  Very surprising.  Also very glad UConn lost. 

I think being the all time leading scorer at any school would get attention.  But had she gone to any of those other schools, she likely is not the leading scorer of all time.

I doubt it

I think Droner was joking with that question...

I'm looking forward toi UConn sTOMPINT the crap out of the "protected" ones

Nah.  Purdue is the team of destiny, like Virginia a few years ago.  Lose to a 16 seed, come back and win it all. 

If Caldwell is the "Lady Vol Heupel" as mentioned above, that reminds me of Hamilton hiring Lane Kiffin to be the "football Bruce Pearl". If it worked once, do it again.

I think Caldwell will work out better than Kiffin though. 

I'm looking forward to see if Purdue can stop UConn

Let me add that Sibely of Iowa tried her best to choke it away with back to back turnovers in the last two minutes, but the refs saved her.

The turnovers were completely on her also...got caught looking away from her defender and then just flat threw the ball to the other team

But...ask me if I care 

Just in case you are wondering...I do not! 

Uh oh.  Is this athletic department big enough for two Karens?

Who is the other one?

 

Likewise, been a poor performer there

The Lady Vol MAFIA is exremely PISSED ad Danny White and Donde for making the change and taking "so long" to make the change
They are stupid morons livin in the past and apparently are CLUELESS about the game of basketball, other than Pat Summitt
That includes Maria IMO

So they are mad about the change, and that it took so long? That makes no sense.

Oh well.  Thugs gon' thug.

With all that's going on in the world, I have better things to worry about.

Not being disrespful to you, it IS interesting. In a way.  But not even remotely my problem. I don't beat wimmen's.   

How did Creighton beat UConn?

UConn has been on a hot streak, Creighton beat them in mid February.  UConn has not been this good all year.

How did Creighton beat UConn a while back.

Uconn has been on a streak late in the season
