Assistants Holly Warlick and Mickie DeMoss have been prowling the sidelines and sitting less, too. DeMoss was hunkered down in front of her chair peering around a standing Summitt when Summitt backed up to crouch down and nearly sat on DeMoss, who deftly scooted over, never taking her eyes off the action on the floor. When it appeared a St. Mary's player deflected a ball out of bounds but the Gaels were awarded possession, even the stoic assistant coach Al Brown exploded off the bench. That's one of the benefits of being at a game in person instead of watching on television. It can be very entertaining to watch the coaching staffs.
Some people say depth is overrated.
I say you need it, and I say it will make a difference especially when you play the pace we play here. I do think it wears on the opponent. A wry Summitt when asked if the team's depth was the difference Sunday night against St. Mary's. After Vanderbilt coach Jim Foster and the Commodores defeated the Lady Vols in the SEC tournament, Foster said depth was overrated. Yeah, a lot better now.
