"Tennessee’s Holly Warlick feels the difference a year of head coaching experience makes.She doesn’t have to answer as many questions about replacing Pat Summitt, whose 1,098 career wins are the most of any Division I men’s or women’s basketball coach ever. She doesn’t worry about whether she can make the transition from assistant to head coach.Although Warlick insisted she didn’t feel any extra pressure last year as Summitt’s successor, she acknowledges she went into her debut season with something to prove.“I obviously felt I had to prove my worth and that they made the right choice, but I just never got focused on that,” Warlick said in an interview with The Associated Press."

"Former Tennessee point guard Trae Golden has landed at Georgia Tech, the school announced on Saturday.Golden, who had been UT’s starter at point guard for the majority of the past two seasons, departed Tennessee in early May for unspecified reasons.“We are excited about Trae joining the Yellow Jacket family,” said Georgia Tech head coach Brian Gregory. “Returning home to Atlanta, close to his family, to finish out his college career was extremely important to Trae. Also, the opportunity to earn his family’s second Georgia Tech degree – his older sister graduated in 2008 – was a key factor.”"
