Tennessee has hired Kim Caldwell as its next women’s basketball coach, the program announced Sunday. Caldwell has only one year of Division I coaching experience, and it was a succesful one as she led Marshall to the 2024 NCAA Women’s Tournament
Caldwell is taking the head-coaching position left vacant by Kellie Harper, who led the Lady Vols since 2019. Harper was let go by the school last week after Tennessee fell to NC State in the second round of the NCAA Tournament.
“Kim has a winning formula that she has successfully implemented everywhere she has coached, with a fast-paced, high-octane offense and pressure defense that has led to remarkable results,” Tennessee director of athletics Danny White said in the official press release. “In this new era of college sports, it was vital that we found an innovative head coach with a strong track record of winning titles. We are eager to return the Lady Vols to a championship level, and we’re confident that Kim Caldwell is the coach who can lead us back to the top.”
