I’m GNA do a quick impression of my phone on Saturday ding ding ding ding ding ding ding ding that’s what it did why did it do that because Caleb Calhoun decided to blow up Kelly Harper and he makes a pretty good point Kelly Harper very well could get

Into the NCAA tournament Kelly Harper very well could have a team hit a ton of shots from the outside have a hot night and advance in the NCAA tournament it sounds crazy but 16’s a beat1 Cinderella happen in March it could happen then if you make the sweet 16 seems a little

Weird to fire a coach doesn’t it Caleb Calhoun forgive me if I stole the Thunder but that was pretty much the Crux of your argument which I think is interesting but I don’t necessarily agree with yes you can’t let Kelly Harper get red hot in the NCAA tournament you can’t

Give her a chance to keep her job you can’t have Dennis Felton at Georgia in the SEC tournament in 2008 which you would have and they won the SEC tournament got into the NCAA and then you couldn’t fire him right and then you couldn’t fire him when they could have

Fired him anyway you can’t do it it you can’t make your decisions based on redot runs just a quick NFL one real quick Joe Flaco got really hot and led the Ravens to a Super Bowl and then the Ravens gave him a $100 million doll contract they

Should have stuck to their guns and said no you’re not getting this contract I don’t care that you just won the Super Bowl because he wasn’t worth that money okay they you gotta be that you can’t just react to a red hot run now Kelly Harper Defenders are going

To talk about how it’s it’s not just Defenders firing a coach in the middle of the season is just bad business in general no it’s not it happens all the time not all the time I’m sorry you gotta make this move because you can’t give her a chance to sell keeping her

Job because there is no way you can keep your job after the coaching sequence on Saturday let me break down guys what she did for those of you who aren’t watching let me write down two things okay Kelly Harper you know you’re chucking this season

Right so what okay go ahead go ahead do you think this team is g go ahead with your point go ahead with your point go ahead with your point Kelly Harper Tennessee fought back from 23 down to take a two-point lead on South Carolina over the weekend undefeated number one South Carolina in

The SEC tournament a chance for the upset of the century they are up 73 to 71 they get a stop they get the ball Jasmine Powell draws a foul with three seconds to go you you assume the game’s over Powell unfortunately for Tennessee misses both of her free throws South Carolina is out

Of timeouts they Rush the ball to Mid Court okay now here’s where it’s crazy Dave they have the ball with one second left at Mid Court Tennessee has a foul to give Kelly Harper instructs her team juwel spear to use the foul to give now that’s already Next Level

Stupid so for those who don’t understand if you have a foul to give you do that when they’re already on your side of the court and they’ve already got an offense set up because then you give them less time to set up a play you know what I’m

Talking about right Dave when you have the foul to give what you don’t do is do it when they’re you don’t do it when they’re at midcourt with a second left and no timeouts and they’re gonna have to throw up a prayer that’s not when you use a

Foul to give now you give them a chance to inbound the ball and set up a shot so that’s already a really dumb decision then coming off the shot Kelly Harper draws up arguably the worst defense I have ever seen in the history of college basketball and I just got to share it

With you guys real quick because no hold on We’re not gonna share do we want to share this okay go ahead share this okay I was just tr get pulled up go ahead cardoso banks in a game-winning three for South Carolina look at how open she is look at these

Three guys or look at these three players right there inside the paint okay why are you guarding the inbounds person why does that girl at the top of the key have her eye on the inbounds person you know they’re not going to pass it back to her with one second left

This is the worst defensive alignment I think I’ve ever seen called in the history of the sport you can’t let somebody who would there are some decisions that are so stupid you got to fire on the spot and there is Mario cristall running a play when he should

Have taken a knee there is um there’s a few others but Mario Chris running a KNE when he should running a play when he should have taken a knee is one of those that’s another one of those you can’t ever call a play a defensive alignment like that that’s the most laughably

Worst defensive alignment I’ve ever seen called It’s fireable You Gotta fire him right now me Drinker says they double teamed their best three-point shooter that girl got lucky didn’t call Glass either she did Bank it in uh Caleb Don Staley said she would have done the same well that

Is scary me I gotta be honest with you I like the first part of your comment I think the girl did get lucky I think they double team the best three-point shooter but when another coach is saying that you have a great coach when your opponent’s saying that you need to be

Very wary okay so that’s actually the greatest that’s the greatest bit of evidence possible that Kelly Harper should be fired is that da Staley’s promoting Kelly Harper yeah that’s that’s something that is a big red flag if Don Staley says that looked like great coaching to me that sounds like

What Rick patino used to say about Wade Houston back in the day and we all know how that turned out I’m not going to make any decision right now I’m not going to make an any decision based off sweet 16 and here’s why Caleb sweet 16 is

Expected every single year if that’s the best you got is slipping into the tournament and making the sweet 16 given what Kelly Harper has done to this point and that game that you just showed which was on the screen for our video audio listeners I’m gonna fire after a sweet 16 run

Anyway because it I understand that it’s harder to do but it’s not impossible to do and Tennessee you’re you guys on our Twitter board you’re not toned deaf you know as well as I do that this program is not going in the right direction we all know that

So make the change after the sweet 16 I don’t think you teach kids to go halfway through the season I’ll tell a quick story that I’m sure has been told by many of fathers my son played lacrosse brought in a travel team that took 21 of

The 24 spots you aren’t a part of the crew anymore uh the the high school did and he no longer had a starting spot he still played through the rest of the year it’s important it’s principles and something I love you Caleb but no chance

You make that change now you make it now you make it now you don’t give her a chance to have a selling point now you will upset I will I’ll give you this you will upset many of the lady of all contingency by doing this but I think

It’s time to upset the contingency anyway because I think their hold and their stringle hold on what the program should be is what’s holding the program back and I’m just going to say that right off the bat and guys I’m I’m G to I I got to address this because

Everybody keeps talking about how that was K cardo’s first three-point make ever and that was the player you leave wide open I could get with that if they didn’t have two players guarding nothing on the court yeah and the the I I will agree with you on that part and the the

Most frustrating aspect is that everybody looked lost I mean it it wasn’t it was like they had like there was 02 seconds and they had thought it was over because you can’t get a shot off it’s like had completed the comeback they had already won the game let’s go

Let’s get Rowdy this is exciting it wasn’t time to get Rowdy and get exciting Caleb exactly and also don’t try to sell me on Kelly Harper deserving credit for Tennessee playing South Carolina so well because Dave you and I both know in conference tournaments you should throw results out the window

They’re not indicative of how teams how good teams are right conference tournaments uh no they’re not indicative at all with the exception of maybe the ACC tournament uh we we see that from time to time okay but so we but we haven’t heard anything yet do you think they would actually ever

Consider doing that no they wouldn’t do it they wouldn’t do it again the um it’s I’m GNA get in so much trouble but the lady Vol contingency is almost like a mafia they have so much power over the decisions you make for the lady VA basketball program and they forced

Philip Fulmer to hire Kelly Harper in the first place and I think he was pretty okay with that no he didn’t want Kelly Harper I mean I think he I think he was willing to do what needed to be done to keep the job and I’ve said this before I think

Philip loves Tennessee I think Philip loves Philip just a little more I agree with you on that I no I totally agree with you on that I’m saying Philip Fulmer was looking for the best coach and he admitted in the press conference he said you know I was just looking for

The best coach and then you know the speaking of the lady VA contingency they kind of made it clear you know you got to hire a lady VA you got to keep it in the family I’m like this is embarrassing well that’s not okay that’s not the lady BS contingency’s fault that’s Philip

Former’s fault he didn’t have to listen to Lady BS contingency you Philip Fulmer was Philip Fulmer was gonna play ball to keep his job as much as possible you’re right he’s not he would never Fulmer is never the type that would take the Bold stance to anger a bunch of a bunch of

Boosters is that fair to say like he’s too scared to do that yes yeah no um no but he should have and someone needs to do it someone needs to stand up to the mafia because they’re Ma they’re a mafia what they’re doing to the lady falls

Here’s the other thing how important is it if Tennessee does make a change get out of the Pat Summit Legacy factor I mean if they hire Carol Lawson God sake that would be awful because I love Carol Lawson I think she’s so talented what if she’s just an okay coach and then her

Legacy is run into the ground like Holly warlick and Kelly Harper it feels like we’re trying to destroy every great Lady V that Pat Summit played for and then it makes your decisions like these that much tougher if this is the guy at Louisville what’s his name walls Jeff

Wall yeah that that Tennessee should have hired you have and and he’s struggling what do you say hit the road walls it’s easier to fire much easier
