The day after Tennessee's first-round NCAA Tournament win over Oral Roberts, Lady Volunteers coach Pat Summitt brought three players to the team's press conference.
Why senior Shannon Bobbitt, senior Alberta Auguste and redshirt junior Alex Fuller? To call them out, or in nicer terms, to put them on the spot.
"There are times when you know you have certain people that need to step up," Summitt said, "and these three have done that for us this year."
But then Summitt kind of, sort of -- let's face it, she did -- continued with remarks about their weaknesses.
Bobbitt didn't break Oral Roberts' zone defense as well as she should have. Fuller shot only 2 of 11 from the field. And Auguste didn't bring as much defensive pressure and board play as Summitt would have liked.
In the name of accountability, Summitt raised the stakes for her players. Who should she call out next, following the Lady Volunteers second-round win over Purdue on Tuesday?
