"I probably wouldn't say it publicly."
"We just had a lot of quit in us tonight, and that's been something that's been consistent with our team,"
"When we're not comfortable and things don't go our way, I have a team that'll just quit on you. And you can't do that in big games-you can't do that any time in the SEC, but you certainly can't do that at a program like this."
Tennessee suffered a 93-50 loss to South Carolina, the worst loss in program history, with coach Kim Caldwell criticizing a recurring tendency for players to quit when challenged. Caldwell's system emphasizes forcing turnovers with a press, quick shots, and hockey-style line substitutions to maintain conditioning. Last season's upset of UConn initially suggested progress under Caldwell, but a subsequent 30-point loss to UConn and a troubling loss to Mississippi State revealed persistent problems with effort, preparation, and consistency. Concerns about team culture and execution have intensified amid mounting losses and public criticism from the coach.
