"She's an awesome kid and she's an awesome player, but she's not a god," Zolman says. "Everybody is putting on these unfair expectations. She's a great person to hang out with, somebody who is very humble, but it's not like she's going to single-handedly come here and lift us up to a national championship."

| I think Zolman nailed it on the head. I give her credit. It would be easy for some of the team to be jealous of all the attention but that looks like it's not thte case at all

I thought only "haters" were the ones saying things like that. Does Zolman hate Parker? Does she hate Tennessee? I am so confused now.

Jumpshot:
PUmatty & dtsnms were just joking about that. Some people who are Tennessee & Candace Parker fans tend to think that those who aren't as hyped up about Candace's skills & ability to lead her team are "haters," which I think could be farther from the truth for many.

It is also the suggestion that follows someone pointing out that there is hype and that there are unrealistic expectations. You know, like Zolman did.
