She really wasn't coaching this season...glad she's going out on her own terms...good luck to her, it's going to be tough going.

Tennessee has practically become irrelevant in recent years, with no Final Fours in the last three years, and UConn isn't far behind. (Getting there and then getting blown out doesn't cut it up there.)
It would appear that Baylor has taken over the mantle of Evil Incarnate from the Lady Vols.

For her and for anyone else going through what she is going through.
