I am just going to say and I can't speak for others, but I don't "enjoy" analyzing failings in Tara's coaching. I want us to be the best and as fans, I admit it can be easy to criticize when we don't have the pressure or responsibilities that comes with the job. But I derive no pleasure from it, it's an outlet to vent frustrations, which fans often do.
And as I said earlier, because fans criticize her, it doesn't mean we can't also appreciate her accomplishments or what she's done. It's not an either/or situation.
She's made the program one of the elites in the country, which I do appreciate.
I appreciate the insight that 81alum wrote, regarding Tara's preferred way of communicating, which can be frustrating as fans, but doesn't diminish what's she done.
But let's get onto the game tomorrow against Indiana. We overmatched Hawaii, so I am looking to see how our team looks against an opponent that we will have to be competitive with, if we want to challenge for the conference title and make a deep postseason run.
