New mental health institution planned for future Gabriela Szymanowska Staff Writer

The largest mental health hospital in the state of Tennessee, according to Knox County Mayor Tim Burchett, is the Shelby County Jail.

“The second largest is the Davidson County Jail, and the third largest is the Knox County Jail,” he said.

Special counsel to the Knox County Sheriff Randy Nichols said there are currently 400 people who suffer from mental health issues in Knox County Jail — a rising nationwide epidemic as mental health institutions have closed across the country, leaving cities with the task of finding ways to house and care for the mentally ill without imprisoning them.

Knox County, in response, is seeking $4.5 million from the state to build a facility, The Behavior Health Urgent Care Center, that would reroute non-violent offenders with mental health issues from jail to the facility for treatment.

“The Behavior Health Urgent Care Center is really kind of the first step for us to see if we can devise a new way to do this,” Nichols said.

“That’s why we are starting with a relatively limited capacity — 24 beds — and see if it will work.”

The Behavioral Health Urgent Care Center would provide three-day treatment for persons with mental illnesses who would otherwise be in jail. The center’s treatment plan would

help stabilize the mentally ill to be released back into police custody or recommended for further treatment.

The first step towards receiving funds has been completed; Gov. Bill Haslam requested funds in his budget from the state. The next step is for the legislature to vote in favor of the budget.

If the legislature approves the budget, the facility would embark on a three-year pilot program with aid from the Helen Ross McNabb Center, a non-profit provider of mental health services which would oversee the running of The Behavior Health Urgent Care Center.

The organization has been building mental health and addiction treatment facilities in East Tennessee for almost 70 years, Houston Smelcer, vice president of development and government relations at the Helen Ross McNabb Center, said.

Not only will the center treat the mentally ill and decrease the overcrowding of jails, but it is also expected to save taxpayer dollars.

“The sheriff’s department in Knox County spends about $82 per day per inmate, and for those who suffer mental health issues, the cost is about $151 a day,” Nichols said.

Also, those with mental health issues spend an average of 20 days more in prison than inmates without mental health issues.

There are also the costs of pulling officers off the streets to help transport those who are mentally ill to and from hospitals after other inmates have physically assaulted them, a problem that Chris Caldwell, Knox County’s senior director of finance, explained happens

more often than not.

“We take three vans per day down to Moccasin Bend (Mental Health Institute in Chattanooga, Tennessee). So, you have the wear and tear on the vehicle, the gas and the officers off the street, so that should be able to decrease,” Caldwell said. “You also have a savings, we believe, in psychotropic drugs at our detention facility, because we issue a lot — about $500,000 a year on psychotropic drugs.

So with them getting the help that they need at the Behavioral Health Center, this helps eliminate some of that cost at our jails for sure.”

At a community meeting about the center — although many are satisfied with the projected costs and benefits of such a program — many locals raised concerns about safety. The center would be located off of Western Avenue, and, according to Nichols, one of the main concerns was the possibility of inmates being released into the surrounding community.

However, Nichols reassured they would not release anyone unless a recognized family member was there to take them home; otherwise, patients would be escorted in and out of the facility by law enforcement. In addition, there would be a law enforcement officer on site 24/7.

Burchett said the center will be a step towards ensuring that there is a humane way to deal with those suffering from mental health issues.

“I would just like to say that they’re not cattle,” Burchett said. “These are human beings.

These are somebody’s mom and dad, brother, sister, husband or wife, aunt or uncle.”

One-man volleyball team advocates for suicide awareness Annie Tieu

Copy Editor In Tennessee, the 10th leading cause of death in 2013 was suicide, and one person commits suicide in the state approximately every eight hours, with twice as many people dying daily by suicide than homicide, according to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention.

Two organizations, America’s All Stars and Beat the Odds, are working to combat suicide by declaring Mar. 13-18 as East Tennessee’s first annual Suicide Awareness and Prevention Week.

The highlighted event of the week is a oneman volleyball game, featuring Bob Holmes.

Holmes has worked with the Beat the Odds foundation for more than 34 years and traveled across the country to compete against various teams, advocating for suicide awareness.

Holmes will play against six teams com-

prised of local athletes and armed forces members. The inspiration for the volleyball game came from the idea to stand up for what is right, even if it means standing alone.

“Everybody can be doing wrong, everybody can be bullying somebody, but you stand alone and go and sit with them in the cafeteria — you be the one to sit with them,” Holmes said.

“Even if no one else is doing it, you do it and help change lives … Stand alone and don’t do what the crowd does.”

Holmes said the motivation for his work and long-lasting dedication is to stop youth suicide and give those suffering from depression or hopelessness confidence.

“Seeing all the suicides is what gives me the passion to want to bring hope and challenge young people not to end their lives,” Holmes said. “That’s what’s been motivating me along the exhibition.”

Along with entertainment, Holmes said he hopes he will inspire people and that “the message will challenge them to have dreams in their life and never give up.”

Both foundations aim to raise $18,000, and funds from the event will go toward scholarships for 50 Knoxville citizens. The scholarships are for professional counseling sessions for individuals who cannot afford care.

During Holmes’ time with Beat the Odds, he has been featured in “Ripley’s Believe It or Not!” for playing the most games ever in his sport.

“Having one person being able to beat a team of athletes is, in and of itself, a unique story of long odds,” Jim Vesper, marketing and promotions manager of the America’s All Stars Foundation, said. “Bob has won more than 19,000 games of volleyball as an individual … No one expects a 61-year-old to be able to beat a team of others … (He demonstrates) that everybody has capabilities that they don’t realize they have, and they can overcome challenges in their lives.”

The one-man volleyball game will be held on Thursday, March 16, at 7 p.m. at the Knoxville Civic Auditorium and Coliseum.

Tickets are $5.

Gastrointestinal illness sickens sorority sisters Megan Patterson

Managing Editor

Alex Holcomb

News Editor The parties haven’t been the only sick part of Greek life at UT this week.

Members of the Phi Mu sorority contracted gastrointestinal illness on Sunday after a Founder’s Day meal that supposedly affected about 50 members and sent up to 15 members to the emergency room.

Gastrointestinal diseases are those that involve the stomach and intestines.

Symptoms include diarrhea, abdominal pain, constipation, extreme nausea and more. It is easily curable and tends to last no more than a week. No members of the Phi Mu sorority were hospitalized, Spencer Gregg, director of the UT Student Health Center, said.

On Tuesday, Gregg sent an email to students, faculty and staff to report UT’s investigation into the disease. In the email, Gregg said UT is working with the Knox County Health Department to determine the cause. Both organizations are not sure

how many have contracted the illness, but the UT Student Health Center has seen less than five cases.

Martha Buchanan, director of the KCHD, said numbers often vary in episodes of illness like this.

“We know when we do investigations that we don’t always know everyone who is ill because they might not go see a doctor or anything like that,” Buchanan said.

In Tuesday’s email, Gregg also confirmed that housing, the Office of Sorority and Fraternity Life and Student Health Services are working together to reduce the risk of the disease spreading. He recommended that students practice good health habits like washing hands, eating well and cleaning utensils to reduce the risks of illness as the disease can be easily spread and contracted.

“The only thing that you can do to really stop the transmission of this kind of illness is to try to get the people that are sick with it to take measures to avoid transmitting it to other folks,” Gregg said. “Then, the main way you prevent the transmission is to get everyone who is not affected to be cautious, and that means frequently washing your hands. That’s the key thing.”

The KCHD is working with UT to provide educational information, advise on cleaning and sanitation techniques and talk with students who are ill or might become ill about disease prevention. Gregg said that KCHD is giving housing extra cleaning guidelines to prevent transmission.

“Anytime, all the time, you need to wash your hands and stay home when you are sick,” Buchanan said.

Buchanan said the illness contracted by Phi Mu members shares many symptoms of typical gastrointestinal diseases and that this has made determining the exact cause of disease more difficult. She also warned that although these specific symptoms may only last 24 hours, the patient may be contagious for much longer.

“We know that people can pass it before they are ill, when they are ill and even after they are ill,” Buchanan said. “The period in which people can make other people sick is about four days.”

KCHD is working to find the origin of the disease through investigative measures like talking to those affected, sampling stools and finding others who have dealt with the illness. KCHD believes that the illness likely spread from other members in the sorority.

3

“According to the health department, it would appear as if it’s most likely a viral or bacterial infection that someone who is at these events may have passed on to the people that were there as well. So, it would appear to be something that has gone from person to person,” Gregg said. “The reason they’re thinking that is because there’s been people who have fallen ill subsequent to the weekend who were not at the event, so that leads you to believe it wasn’t something in the food.”

Although the illness has caused worry in the UT community, Gregg said the outbreak’s timing is fortunate.

“I think we are fortunate that spring break is right around the corner because that gets everybody away from campus,” Gregg said. “That gives everybody who’s sick a chance to go home and not continue to spread it in that one location, so the fact that spring break is coming up is really nice.”

More information about preventing the disease can be found at studenthealth.utk. edu.

Members of Phi Mu were contacted but the chapter declined to comment at this time.

Muslim reformer discusses journey to self-empowerment Annie Tieu

Copy Editor Asra Nomani, who helped launch the Muslim Reform Movement three years ago, visited campus Tuesday, March 7 — on the eve of International Women’s Day — to present her lecture “The Paradox of Women in Islam.”

From a young age, Nomani has challenged interpretations of Islam that claim it supports violent practices and suppresses women’s selfdetermination. She has taught journalism at Georgetown University and has written for the Washington Post, The New York Times and Time magazine. Nomani is also the author of two books, including “Standing Alone in Mecca: An American Woman’s Struggle for the Soul of Islam.”

Her talk Tuesday focused on her experiences as a Muslim woman on a religious journey and path to self-empowerment.

With a soft-spoken voice, the Indian-born American journalist and activist opened the lecture by telling the audience the story of Hagar in the desert. In the Islamic faith, Hagar is the wife of Ibrahim, known as Abraham in the Hebrew Bible. Nomani related Hagar to her own experiences as a mother and used her as an example of perceived discrepancies in how women are

I had to make that choice, the kind of choice that each one of us has to make at different times in our life ...”

treated in Muslim societies.

Hagar’s story, she said, demonstrates how the rights women had during the seventh century have been removed by centuries of restrictions imposed on women. It is this past progressivism that is the key to moving forward in Islam, Nomani asserted.

She then spoke about how various events in her life influenced how she views Islam and her role as a woman, criticizing modern interpretations of Islam she believes perpetuate gender inequality.

The murder and kidnapping of her colleague and friend, Daniel Pearl, a Wall Street Journal journalist, by Pakistani terrorists in 2002 was one of her major moments of religious crisis.

“In that moment, I had to decide whether I would allow the fear of these militants that had taken Danny to override the duty I had been taught at a young age to serving humanity, to helping my friend,” Nomani said. “And so, I had

Arsa Nomani, journalist and activist to decide whether I would play the docile, young woman — that I would play the part of a person who just simply surrendered — or I would try to help find my friend … I knew that there was only one choice.”

Nomani said her role as a mother as well as watching how her own mother behaved further shaped her views on women’s self-empowerment.

Her family’s acceptance of her decision to be an unmarried mother gave her strength to overcome her own conflicts, and her mother’s struggles with autonomy in a conservative Muslim community inspired Nomani to advocate for women’s rights.

Nomani further addressed the issue of gender segregation in Muslim communities by sharing her experience of walking through the front door of her mosque in Morgantown, West Virginia, and into the main hall reserved only for men. Nomani was the first woman in her mosque to insist on, what she believes is, the women’s right to pray in the main hall beside the men.

“I had to make that choice, the kind of choice that each one of us has to make at different times in our life — whether I would step backwards and then take that side stairwell, or if I would step forward,” Nomani said. “I decided I would step forward.”

After the lecture, Nomani opened the floor for questions and invited everyone to share examples of strong women in their lives. Students’ questions led Nomani to address her decision to vote for President Donald Trump in the 2016 Presidential Election. While she admitted that she had to reconcile her beliefs with her vote, she said she felt Trump would be effective in combating radical Islamism.

Many students in attendance took issue with Nomani’s voting choice, and Omaima Elbachiri, a sophomore in kinesiology, criticized Nomani’s views for seeming one-sided and focusing only on internal issues of the Muslim community, while ignoring external problems.

“I agree on most of her points, but I do believe she presents a very sectioned-off view, as a couple of commentators have pointed out,” Elbachiri said. “She doesn’t bring into the conversation several other aspects of Islam and culture and the intersectionality of it all.

“It’s very much a narrowed view.”

Asra Nomani does not represent me On Tuesday, March 7, I, among a group of frustrated and disgruntled fellow Muslims, attended Asra Nomani’s lecture, where she used her personal experiences as a Muslim woman to talk about the “paradox” of women’s rights in Islam.

While the Facebook event depicted it as a refreshing, needed discussion of how Muslim women are reclaiming their human rights guaranteed by the Prophet Muhammad from the domination of “manmade rules and tribal traditions,” Nomani’s speech was largely built on reductive and harmful ideas of Muslims.

Given her controversial stances, such as supporting the NYPD surveillance program on Muslim communities, Nomani’s reductive depiction of Muslims, especially Muslim women, was not surprising. For example, during the Q&A session, Nomani, a selfproclaimed feminist, justified her support for Trump, despite his well-known history of sexual assault and misogyny. She claimed that Trump was the only candidate to “call-out extremist Islam.” As current events show, Trump’s policies to combat extremist Islam, such as the travel ban, are racist and Islamophobic.

Furthermore, Nomani’s speech oversimplified the experiences of Muslim women. She discussed the mandatory head covering laws in Saudi Arabia and

By ignoring Muslim women’s agency in choosing what to wear, Nomani effectively implied that all Muslim women who wear the hijab are oppressed, helpless women.”

Iran as an example of how Muslim patriarchy controls women in the Muslim world. While such laws in Iran and Saudi Arabia are unjust, as they deprive Muslim women of freedom of choice, Nomani, by portraying the hijab as repressive when she urged the audience to imagine not having the wind in their hair, ignored that many Muslim women, like myself, choose to wear the hijab. By ignoring Muslim women’s agency in choosing what to wear, Nomani effectively implied that all Muslim women who wear the hijab are oppressed, helpless women.

Nomani’s discussion about violence and misogyny within the Muslim world also severely lacked nuance. In the Q&A session, Nomani said she actively rejects examining the effects of colonization and

imperialism in contributing to the problems associated with the Muslim world. By rejecting the effects of subjugation, structural violence and exploitation brought with colonization, Nomani proceeded to not only provide an incomplete and inaccurate picture of issues affecting Muslims, especially Muslim women, but she also dismissed the trauma many experience from the legacies of colonization.

Given Nomani’s reductive ideas about Muslims, the Campus Events Board should have more carefully considered who they were bringing on campus, especially for International Women’s Day. Sabiha Mohyuddin is a senior in sociology. She can be reached at smohyudd@vols.utk.edu

What can you do when stuck at home for break?

McNeeley Moore, Contributor Michael Knight reads “Eveningland” at Union Avenue Books. Sarah Ali • The Daily Beacon

Local bookstore hosts local author, professor Collin Riggs

Contributor The green walls and squeaky floorboards of Union Ave Books hosted Michael Knight, a professor of creative writing at UT, on Tuesday, March 7, to promote his new book, “Eveningland.”

“Eveningland” is a series of short stories and a novella set in Mobile Bay, Alabama, Knight’s hometown. The stories range from 2010 to the present day, and they chronicle the struggles surrounding the Deepwater Bay oil spill and life in a small Southern town.

“It was sort of a love letter to my hometown,” Knight said.

Knight read portions of the book, including a story centered around a married couple on the eve of the husband’s 50th birthday party; later, another story focused on another husband’s actions after losing his wife to cancer.

“I’m hoping the end result will be the book adding up to a greater whole than the sum of its parts,” Knight said.

After he finished reading, Knight answered questions from the audience.

He touched on multiple topics ranging from the history of his book and how part of it sat in his desk for years due to it not fitting neatly into any publishing category to how he can’t read Cormac McCarthy or Flannery O’Connor while he’s writing because of their

infectious styles.

When someone asked Knight if a part of his book was influenced by Fitzgerald, he spoke at great length about Fitzgerald’s use of language and how “The Great Gatsby” is a model for novelists to strive toward simply because of its well-structured and concise quality.

Many of the audience members were students or professors in the English department of UT and most were writers in some form or fashion.

Christopher Hebert, assistant professor of English and author of two novels himself (“Angels of Detroit” and “The Boiling Season”), had Knight sign two copies of “Eveningland,” one for himself and one for his father.

“It’s a different experience of a book to get it straight from the author,” Hebert said. “You develop a relationship with the author from reading their stuff, but it’s a faraway sort of relationship – plus it’s just sort of nice to hear them speak.”

Myles McDonough, a graduate student in creative writing and a graduate teaching associate, came to see one of his professors work outside the classroom.

“You know, you come because these people are your friends and your mentors but also because they’re very wise people when it comes to writing fiction, so it’s a win-win, honestly,” McDonough said.

“Eveningland” is available for purchase at Union Ave Books and on Amazon.

Is your childhood best friend also in town, and you haven't spoken to each other since you both left for college? If you're in an apartment, perhaps someone else is stuck in your same apartment complex and might love to make a new friend.

Re-read your favorite childhood book.

Remember that book you couldn't put down in third grade that you loved so much that you dressed up as the main character for Halloween? Those characters and words probably affect you even now in ways you don't understand. Go outside, enjoy the spring weather, pull out that story and enjoy.

Experiment and cook something.

If you were at the beach, you'd probably be stuck in a hotel without a kitchen. Walk down to the nearest store and find a new tropical, spring recipe and enjoy having the time to create it. Then, promptly consume it if edible.

Try spring cleaning.

Although it may sound like something your Mom said to scare you as a kid, spring is the perfect time to go through your clothes and stacks of school assignments to figure out just what you do and don't need. Get rid of all the clutter, and enjoy the things in life you truly love. It'll be the start to a happier, healthier, warmer season.

How to get out of Knoxville for spring break Spring Break is just around the corner, but if you don’t have the funds to have fun on the beach somewhere, get out of town without spending big bucks by staying close to home. Here are five cheap alternative destinations.

- Allie Clouse, Staff Writer

Nashville Nashville is just three hours away, and filled with plenty of options for eating, shopping and entertainment. If you’re there for lunch, head over to The Pharmacy for their giant gourmet burgers and homemade cream soda. Then, shop around at the Gulch or Opry Mills.

You can explore the niche neighborhoods of the city such as East Nashville, Hillsboro Village or SoBro. Or go on a “wall crawl” to find the best murals in the capital.

Finally, spend the afternoon soaking up the sun in the lawn in front of the Parthenon with a scoop from Nashville’s own Mike’s Ice Cream. Before you leave, don’t forget to catch one of the many shows and concerts, either at Bridgestone Area, The Grand Ole Opry or on Broadway. After all, it is Music City.

Sweetwater and Athens The tiny town of Sweetwater, Tennessee is less than an hour drive from Knoxville, and is one of the best kept secrets—perfect for a day trip. It’s home to the Lost Sea, America’s largest underground lake and Registered National Landmark. Take a guided tour of the caverns, then board a glass-bottom boat and take an exciting trip.

After your ride, you can relax in Old Sweetwater Village at the ice cream parlor, or venture out on one of the many nature trails or enjoy a picnic.

A quick drive over to Athens, Tennessee is where Mayfield Dairy Farms is located.

The available tour complete with a special ice cream tasting is worth the trip and a fun experience to finish up your excursion.

Chattanooga Just an hour south of Sweetwater is Chattanooga. Chattanooga offers numerous activities, and would be a great short trip for Spring Break.

The Tennessee Aquarium is a must, then walk down the street to one of the most famous rib houses in the South, Sticky Fingers. Additionally, there are several outdoor adventures in Chattanooga including Lookout Mountain, Rock City and the Chattanooga Zoo.

Charleston Charleston is the low-key version of a Spring Break in Florida or Cancun, but still offers just as much fun in a beach setting. Make the long drive more exciting by discovering roadside attractions along the way.

When in Charleston, Folly Beach, Rainbow Row and Battery Park are a few of the must-do activities in the city. Check out the hole-in-the-wall spot Persimmon Cafe and enjoy some delicious desserts and more savory menu items.

The beautiful and historical town has its own quaint personality that keeps visitors coming back, even naming it “the best small town in America.”

Asheville Asheville, North Carolina is a hub for art and creativity. Spend the day shopping downtown, exploring the River Arts District or traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway.

Enjoy listening to live musicians play on the street as you gaze through the diverse Asheville area. Embrace your inner outdoors lover by going out on one of the many hiking trails in the area, and catch sight of a few waterfalls.

Grub on some of the cheap eats in the city after your trip at Luella’s BBQ or Biscuit Head. Or you could enjoy a piece of home at Asheville’s Tupelo Honey location.

When it comes to spring break, what to pack can seem like the hardest part. Stressing about packing for spring break? Don’t worry; The Daily Beacon has your back.

Water/Food — This should be a given. Stay hydrated and don’t forget to eat. Chips are great, but also grab some apples and granolas to keep you fuller longer.

Sunscreen and Aloe - If you plan on being in the sun, pack sunscreen and aloe. Sunburns can suck the fun out of spring break, and your future self will thank you for taking the steps to prevent skin cancer.

Sunglasses and hat - While sunscreen protects your skin, it leaves other areas unprotected. Do not forget to take the same care and protect your scalp and eyes.

A good book or magazine - Even though you’re taking a break from class, you shouldn’t let your mind be idle. As they say, “an idle mind is the Devil’s playground,” so grab an old favorite or start something new.

Music — Easily the most important part, what’s the ultimate party vacation without some tunes? Make sure you grab a speaker so you can play that playlist out loud at the beach.

Chargers — What could be worse than getting to Florida and realizing that now you have to go buy a new phone charger? With all the Snapchatting and Instagramming you’re sure to be doing, don’t forget your phone’s food source.

Tote/Backpack — Chances are that you’ll be squeezing as much activity into your day as possible. Don’t forget anything important and load up a tote or backpack with snacks, water, cash, chargers and anything else you think you’ll need.

Camera — Sure, your phone can take great photos, but then you have to worry about storage space and your phone dying. Instead, try to grab more than just selfies.

Condoms — Hey, we’re not judging. Whatever you’re doing (or whoever you’re doing), just be smart and be safe.

No one wants to come back from spring break with a STD or baby.

MEN’S BASKETBALL

Vols look to bring confidence, past success into SEC Tournament Rob Harvey

Asst. Sports Editor

Last season, the Tennessee men’s basketball team came into the SEC tournament as a No. 12 seed with a record of 13-18. They were playing without star player Kevin Punter. Due to the poor record, they were also forced to play the 13th-seeded Auburn Tigers in the “play-in game� of the SEC Tournament.

Despite all of that, the Vols made a run in the tournament. First, they were victorious over Auburn 97-59, which set them up with a matchup the very next day against No. 5 seed Vanderbilt. The Vols, despite losing both games in the regular season to Vanderbilt, won this time around in a 67-65 game. The Vols would eventually lose the next day to No. 4-seeded LSU 84-75 but were in it for most of the game and made it further than expected.

Now, just one year later, the Vols are looking for another run like before and have some momentum after a win against Alabama on Saturday. “I was really proud of our guys on Saturday,� head coach Rick Barnes said on Monday. “We were reeling. There was no doubt about it, and you could see it in our guys. They fought hard. The fought really hard in the first half against Alabama, and Alabama is a good team. “There are a lot of guys that have not been in the conference tournament that are getting ready to go to. They are going to find out that Georgia and every other team there are going to want to keep playing.�

The Vols, the No. 9 seed in this year’s tour-

nament, will not have an easy first opponent in the tournament as they take on the No. 8 seed Georgia.

In the first and only meeting this season, the Vols fell to Georgia at home, despite freshman Grant Williams scoring 30 points.

The Vols led for most of the game, but late in the game, Georgia’s J.J. Frazier took over and pulled off the victory. Frazier finished with 29 points in the game.

Now, after seeing Frazier once this season, Barnes has a comical and realistic solution to stopping him. “The best to way defend J.J. Frazier right now, I think, is telling me where they are staying and telling the chef to spike his food,�

Barnes said. “What I love about him is that he is not selfish at all ‌ He finds the open man and puts it where it needs to be and lets the shooter step into it. He makes things easier for his teammates. “It is going to collectively take a group effort with not just the two guys on the ball in ball screen defense, but the whole defense has got to be there.â€?

The Vols will rely on multiple people to step up to guard Frazier on Thursday including sophomore Shembari Phillips. Phillips has been inserted into the starting lineup the last few games at point guard due partly to the struggling point guard play of Jordan Bone and Lamonte Turner and partly because of his defensive play.

Phillips, who had hit a rough patch in the middle of the season (he played less than a minute against Florida), has come on late and played some of the best defense Barnes has seen all season. “I thought Shembari was terrific,� Barnes

said on Saturday. “The other night he guarded (Antonio) Blakeney at LSU better than anyone has all year. He was terrific. I thought today he came in and set a good tone for us and that was the whole decision for us. We just hadn’t been very good.�

The Vols take on Georgia at 1 p.m. on Thursday in Nashville, Tennessee, at Bridgestone Arena. That game can be seen on SEC Network.

For the Vols, they have some confidence coming into the game. “We’re a really good shooting team,� sophomore Admiral Schofield said. “We haven’t been in the past couple of weeks, but I hope that we start getting our confidence, our swagger back, start playing with a little more emotion, a little more energy, a little more pride, and take that into Nashville and get some wins.�

Holly Warlick is not at fault Tyler Wombles Copy Editor

As the Lady Vols season starts to wind down, with just the NCAA Tournament remaining on the schedule, it will soon be time for an evaluation.

The expected questions will be asked: Why did the team lose 10 games during the regular season?

How can a squad that knocked off then-top-fiveranked Notre Dame, South Carolina and Mississippi State fall to unranked Auburn and Georgia?

Why did No. 5 seed Tennessee fall to No. 12 seed Alabama in the second round of the SEC Tournament, eliminating the Lady Vols in just their first game of the tournament for the first time since 1993?

These are all viable questions, and they certainly deserve to be asked. But the answer that many may settle on may not be the most viable conclusion: that it is all Holly Warlick’s fault.

It is not Holly Warlick’s fault. While the head coach is in charge of the program and takes responsibility for the ultimate outcome of every season, we cannot blame Holly for things out of her control.

It is not Holly’s fault when players attempt to pass the ball behind their legs across the court to another player in a “cute” and “showy” way, only to turn possession over when the ball doesn’t reach its intended target.

It is not Holly’s fault when players foul out of important games due to a lack of emotion control and mental discipline.

And it is not Holly’s fault when three players (Andraya Carter, Te’a Cooper and Cheridene Green) on a 12-woman roster suffer season-ending injuries before the first game.

Holly Warlick cannot play the game for her players, nor keep them from getting injured in the process. While she can coach them during practice all week and try to guide them in the right path throughout the game, she cannot suit up and take the court for them.

The Lady Vols have one of the most talented rosters in all of women’s college basketball, but it is all for naught if the players don’t make the right decisions on the floor.

Holly Warlick holds a 127-45 overall record as a head coach, good for a 0.738 winning percentage, and a 60-20 conference mark. She has led the Lady Vols to 25 wins a season each year of her five-year tenure, and the team made the Elite Eight in three of the past four seasons and the Sweet 16 in that fourth season.

To say that she can’t win or doesn’t know how to win is simply not true.

What would a new coach bring to the table?

Would that coach have worked with Pat Summitt her entire coaching career?

Would that coach know the ins and outs of the storied team the way that someone who has been there for so long does?

“

SPORTS

It is not Holly’s fault when players foul out of important games due to a lack of emotion control and mental discipline.”

I don’t think that I need to answer that for you.

The frustration of Lady Vol fans is understandable.

When a program that has had so much success as Tennessee did struggles and doesn’t play up to the standard set by the arguably the greatest basketball coach, college or professional, women’s or men’s, of all time, it can be tough to swallow.

But all the blame doesn’t rest on Holly’s shoulders.

Spring break sports will keep campus residents busy Trenton Duffer

Sports Editor

Damichael Cole Contributor

Spring break gives students the break from class they need to refuel their batteries and enjoy some time off with their families.

However, some residents decide to stay on or near campus during their spring breaks and may get some time to enjoy some of the athletic events going on at UT. And if you are going to your home far, far away this week, there may be a UT sporting event in your area.

Whether you’re staying or going, here’s a list of sporting events going on during spring break.

Softball: To co-head softball coach Ralph Weekly, the SEC is one of the toughest conferences.

This season alone, Auburn and the Vols have both taken down the reigning National Champion Oklahoma Sooners. That goes to show that just as Weekly thinks, the SEC might be the toughest conference in college softball.

The Vols will look to open conference play against the South Carolina Gamecocks (16-5).

The Gamecocks and the Vols only met once last year, a 5-1 victory for the Vols in the SEC Tournament.

It will be their SEC season opening series, and it will come against a Gamecocks team that has been very good this season. As has been stated numerous times this year, with a much younger team than last year, Weekly is still unsure about what to expect out of his team this weekend.

When asked about what he expected, he simply said, “I’ll tell you on Sunday.”

The Vols lone senior Megan Geer is preparing for her last go around the bases in the SEC. Geer is off to a career year, hitting a .425 so far through 16 games this season.

“I don’t even think I really realized the gravity of this being my last year until now, and it’s really starting (to hit me),” Geer said.

Throughout her career, Geer has played in 197 games, and several of those have been

against SEC competition. While Geer has experienced the competition the SEC has to offer, at least eight of her teammates have yet to gain that experience.

That’s where the leadership of Megan Geer, who coach Ralph Weekly thinks is the team’s “primary leader,” comes in.

“We talk a lot about how everyone in the league is competitive,” Geer said. “Every team is good, and you can’t take any team for granted.”

For Weekly, he’s now the fifth all-time winningest softball coach with 1,274 career wins.

Weekly has been at Tennessee since 2002 and has helped lead the team to 13 consecutive NCAA tournaments, seven College World Series appearances and two National runner-up finishes.

Overall, Weekly has coached for over 30 seasons and has averaged 42.5 wins a season.

“I’m happy, and I’m proud for the players that helped me achieve that milestone. And I hope to get at least a couple hundred more before I retire,” Weekly said.

The three-game series will take place in Sherri Parker Lee Stadium Friday at 6 p.m., Saturday at 1 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m. Saturday and Sunday’s game will also be televised on the SEC Network.

After South Carolina, the Vols will travel to Columbia, Tennessee, on March 14 to take on the Auburn Tigers in the Mid-State Classic at 7 p.m. ET. On March 17-19, the team will travel to Arkansas for a three-game series against the Razorbacks. The games will begin 7 p.m., 2 p.m. and 12 p.m. ET, respectively.

Baseball: The baseball team has enjoyed a hot start to the season, cracking the Top 25 for the first time since February 2015 with a 9-1 record.

The Vols have won eight straight games and have the highest batting percentage in the SEC. Tuesday’s game against the East Tennessee State Buccaneers was postponed, leaving the Vols with a five-day break from last Sunday’s win over Norfolk State to their next three-game series on Friday against Cincinnati.

The Bearcats (4-6) don’t have the hitting power the Vols have had this season. Connor McVey has the highest batting average on the team of .342. The Vols have seven batters who have a higher batting average than McVey, the highest being Jeff Moberg’s .476.

Cincinnati’s pitching has also been lackluster this season. With three pitchers who have pitched over 15 innings, their ERA’s consist of 3.44, 4.60 and 6.46. Those three pitchers, A.J. Kullman, David Orndorff and J.T. Perez, respectively, have a combined 1-5 with 44 strikeouts and a combined batting average of .241.

After the series against Cincinnati, the Vols will travel to Murfreesboro, Tennessee, to take on the Middle Tennessee State Blue Raiders (6-6) on March 14 at 7 p.m. ET. On March 15, the Vols will return home to take on the Austin Peay Governors (6-5) at 6 p.m.

From March 17-19, Tennessee will host South Carolina in the first SEC series of the season.

Those games will occur at 7 p.m. on the 17th and then 2 p.m. on the next two days.

Women’s Tennis: After having a solid 13-1 season, the Vols women’s tennis team has faltered a bit since entering SEC play.

The No. 12 Vols blanked No. 14 Kansas 4-0 earlier in the season, and before conference play, only lost to No. 11 Georgia Tech.

However, Vanderbilt and No. 30 Kentucky beat Tennessee by a combined score of 10-2.

“The girls have been giving maximum effort every day, and that is why we are getting better,” head coach Alison Ojeda said after the loss to Kentucky. “We are coming out here and putting ourselves in good situations in matches. We need match-play experience, but unfortunately, we can’t get that between now and our next match.”

Brittany Lindl currently ranks No. 93 in the world, as the senior has dominated a majority of the matches she’s been in this year, including nearly upsetting No. 13 Aldila Sutjiadi from Kentucky last weekend.

Sophomore Sadie Hammond has also been a solid piece of the puzzle for the Vols this year, and Eve Repic’s seniority is helping provide stability to a fairly young group.

“We are getting so much better, and I love it,” Ojeda said.

The women’s tennis team, however, will not have any home matches going on during spring break. The Vols will take on Auburn on March 10, Alabama on March 12, South Carolina on March 17 and Florida on March 19, with all of those matches being on the road. The team will return home on March 24 to take on Mississippi State.

Men’s Tennis: Much like the women’s tennis team, the men faced Vanderbilt and Kentucky last weekend, but the results were still the same.

The team was swept 4-0 by No. 15 Kentucky and lost a nail-biter to Vanderbilt 4-3.

The men haven’t had the hot start the women have had, but the team is still a formidable threat. Sitting at 8-6, the Vols have played tough in a multitude of their matches this year, including upending the No. 1 doubles team in the country from Wake Forest in impressive fashion.

The duo of Luis Valero and Jack Schipanski defeated the No. 1 ranked Skander Mansouri and Christian Seraphim 6-3, dominating for most of the match.

Even though the team lost 6-1 in singles play, Timo Stodder, who is ranked No. 74 in the country, won the first set against the best player in the country, Petros Chrysochos, before ultimately falling in a tough matchup.

Unlike the women’s team, the men will play three straight home matches with the first being on March 10 against Arkansas at 5 p.m. On March 12, the Vols will host Ole Miss beginning at 1 p.m., and on March 19, the Georgia Bulldogs will be in town with that match beginning at 1 p.m. as well.

“Win or lose, when they give everything they have, you can measure progress that way,” head coach Sam Winterbotham said after the loss to Vanderbilt. “If we continue to have the right practice and the right focus, it’s just a matter of time.”

Swimming and Diving: After a successful season, the women’s swimming team will travel to Indianapolis, Indiana, to compete in the NCAA Women’s Swimming and Diving Championships.

Seven members of the team, which includes seniors Kira Toussaint, Colleen Callahan and Michelle Cefal, junior Micah Bohon, sophomore Madeline Banic and freshmen Meghan Small and Tess Cieplucha, will all make the trip along with five of the Vols’ relay teams.

Small has been of the more dominant swimmers on the team this year, setting school records in the 200 individual medley, the 400 IM and the 200 backstroke. Small also won Tennessee’s second-ever SEC title in the 200 IM at the SEC Championships.

The swimming events start on March 15 and extend to March 18.
