Game day!!
Good to see Tyler out and about promoting the Techsters. This looks like Portico and I know he was at Newk's as well. Like Konkol's recent outreach on campus, it's great to see our people trying some fresh ideas.
From Facebook:
Coach Summitt made a tour of some of the hot spots during lunch time handing out some tickets to tonight's C-USA game against FIU. Fans really enjoyed getting an opportunity to visit with him. Tip set for 6:30 pm at the TAC.
Awesome!
Vasquez and Davenport combine for 15 first quarter points? That's a nice surprise!
LaTech up by 9 points.
Techsters up 19-10 at quarter
FIU appears to be coached by Montel Williams.
Both teams shooting FT really really well.
After 3,Techsters up 64-41
Wingate 13, Pumroy 13, Davenport 11, Vasquez 12, shooting 64% on threes
82-63 final us
I'm not a coach and I never played the game. I'm just a fan ok?
However, can someone explain why Tyler substitutes so much? I'm not against playing everyone, but sometimes it is less than a minute before someone he just put in, comes out. Honest question.
Excellent

First of all, great job by the Techsters! This team lost to WKU by 2 points! This is their first conference blow out. Nice to see Davenport start to come out of her slump, as well.Originally Posted by Beaver-Dog
On your question, I think he likes to keep fresh legs in the game, but more than that, I think if someone does something he believes is not what he wants to see, he pulls them quickly. If you watch, many times he is coaching actual positions and blocking out on the sideline as they come out - especially during time outs. I think sometimes it would be better to let some get in more of a flow, but I am going to stick with his judgement on it. I don't notice some missed assignments or little things that don't please him, but I think he is a perfectionist.
Assuming he does it for the same reason is Mom did, the idea is--especially early in the season and early in a player's career--not to let them play if they don't do what you told them. But it's not punishment. It's teaching them they have to stay focused and bring what the coaches need them to bring. For whatever reason, if they can't do what's needed in an early season game, how are they going to listen and execute reliably when it's 8 seconds left in a tournament game?
Usually the reason players don't is because they either weren't focused when you told them before they checked in (can't have that happen in a big game) or they reverted to familiar play when they got in. But you can't just let them play awhile, then remember or figure it out. Gotta know who is dependable before you get to that game-in-the-balance timeout.
It's also a good thing to remember as fans when we're second guessing why the coach put in A instead of B at a critical point in the game. B may present the better matchup, but we don't know if she hasn't proved trustworthy to translate sideline instruction into on-court execution.
