"This last month has been really hard. We tried to rest our team as much as possible. We needed to be playing better than we are right now. I think our offense really struggled, and when that happens people try to do it by themselves, and I saw that throughout the whole game. Both Haley and Cam felt like they needed to do it by themselves and that's on me. We worked really hard every day to run offense, move the ball, set screens, and we struggled with it."
Okay but the offense has struggled all year, and the only change she ever made was putting Agnes or Kiki in the starting lineup, and she had a lot more “offensive” options to compliment Brink’s or Haley’s skillset.
I am glad she said “it is on [her].” That’s refreshing. Because the announcers kept saying from the beginning of the game and throughout the game that Tara said her team was in for a “rude awakening” re: Ole Miss’ defense. Those were her exact words to the announcers pregame and I kept thinking: aren’t you the coach? Why would your team be in for a rude awakening if you prepared them? Isn’t that your job?
