    Todd Golden only had San Francisco on his resume before Florida hired him. I don't buy the "he has to have built a program at the D1 level" stuff. If a guy can coach hire him.

    Impossible.  No track record building a P4 program.  Hard pass.  #surly

    Yeah the idea that UT can only hire "certain coaches" in basketball is absurd. It screams "we can't identify talented people". 

    There's no guarantee in any hire. Lots of people were happy with the Shaka hire and we know how that turned out. Football FINALLY went outside their usual criteria and it's been a major success to this point. Basketball should do the same. Identity the most talented coach that you can bring in and hire him.

    Vic needs to allow Lee to shoot. She seems hesitant as if she doesn’t want to get benched. That would hopefully help our shooting woes a bit.

    Exactly. 

    But the entire team looks robotic on offense. Booker appears to have the most freedom but she gets caught up in forcing shots cause the play was called for her. They all force the ball to spots regardless of what the defense is doing.

    the grizzlies play with the heart of a college team. i hope they make some noise in the playoffs.

    Yeah they play a beautiful brand of ball. Memphis has a strong developmental program. Lots of no name guys that are productive in their system.

    Speaking of (not that he didn't have a name), when the hell did Kennard develop a handle and start playmaking? I thought that game couple weeks back when he had all those assist was a fluke. 

  4. What is the issue with UT doing what Arizona did in hiring Tommy Lloyd?  It's almost universally agreed on the board that NOW he would be a good hire for Texas.  But five years ago, he was not.  What's stopping UT from identifying and hiring their own Tommy Lloyd?

    After playing a pressing Vol team just 3 days ago, then traveling to Oxford, these girls legs are tired…definite an advantage to home team….not our day.

    She's gassed.

    In 6 days she's played 32 minutes, 36 minutes, and 40 minutes today. That's an insane amount of minutes in 6 days. 

    I just don't understand not giving Preston some run in the 1st half to help rest Rori.  She didn't negatively impact the team late in the game, so why no run early?

    Also, Lee needs more playing time and encouragement to be aggressive offensively.  She's the only one after Booker that can create a good shot consistently.

    Great win by the team.  Health permitting, March/April should be a lot of fun!

    Wonder if this is a basketball decision or a bidding war?

    It's a one year deal I assume, wherever she goes she will still be the top pick in the WNBA draft.

    Does she want a championship? Is she looking for the best fit?

    The #1 overall pick still makes under $100K salary their rookie year and I believe Caitlin Clark (arguably the GOAT of WCB) only made a $70K salary last season in the WNBA. There’s a reason one-and-dones are rare in WCB and even the best players stay to get their degree. If playing for Texas gets her more NIL and brand deal money than playing for the Dallas Wings, then she probably stays at Texas or whatever school she signs with for 3-4 years. Hopefully it’s Texas

    Did they change the one and done rule in the WNBA?

    Hunter needed a new spot/start.  hilarious he is shooing 49.0 from three.

    He's never looked this good.  It appears that he has lost some weight.  Will be interesting to see if he can sustain his level of play.

    In 4 of 5 games he is shooting:
    5/7
    4/6
    4/6
    6/7

    Not bad for a former scrub.

    Is it Pritchard?

    I never thought Namond was smart. Maybe somewhat clever. Definitely not cut out for the street life. He’s probably selling cars in Bethesda, but making a honest living. 

    I don't see Bunny (or his wife) allowing him to settle for that type of career. They would push him beyond that.

    to quote Sir Connery

    ”There goes the next Chief of Police”

    100% Bunny got him into the family business 

    With the way Bunny career ended and his feelings on how the department was training new officers, I can't see him doing that. 

    For me, the scene of Namond participating in that school debate screams future lawyer.

    We need to exorcise those demons from the 2015 champ match. Also John Cook looks like a guy who smokes 3 packs a day and reeks of tobacco. 

    Get rid of the 2009 Tampa demon at the same time. 😠

    Yeah Madi is a great from the back row but Destinee is one of one, imo.

    Lol. I don't take it personally at all and I didn't respond emotionally.

    I'm a fan of the program and simply calling out BS.  I very rationally laid out a lot of good things that Terry has done over the last 6 months.  You on the other hand come in after a difficult loss and claim it as validation that Terry is going to fail.  

    Truth.

    Are these hot takes the downside of the football team doing well?  They have to bitch about something, so they are showing up in the basketball threads.  As has been pointed out, that was a great effort from a shorthanded team that will pay off in the long run.  I am very excited about watching this team develop.
