Tennessee extends Lady Vols coach Kim Caldwell's deal after debut season

Kim Caldwell, in her first season as Tennessee women's basketball coach, led the Lady Vols to the Sweet 16, ultimately losing to top-seeded Texas 67-59.
Caldwell, known for her high-octane offense and emphasis on effort and culture, instilled a system where players bought in and played hard, averaging 87.5 points per game, which was the highest in the nation.
Tennessee started the season strong with a 13-0 record, the program's best since 2017-18, and tied the game late in the third quarter against Texas before ultimately falling in the fourth.
Caldwell expressed gratitude to her players and staff, stating, "I am very proud of our players and staff for the effort they put in and for what we accomplished together," while also emphasizing the importance of rebounding.
Following her successful debut season, Caldwell agreed to a one-year contract extension through March 31, 2030, which includes a pay raise, and the team is looking to a highly-ranked recruiting class to replace the departing senior class led by Jewel Spear and Samara Spencer, who transferred from Arkansas and led the team in assists.
