“From the beginning, our goal has been to find a dynamic head coach who can restore our women’s basketball program to national prominence. Kim Caldwell is the ideal person to lead us,” White said. “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.”
“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,” White said. “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.”
Caldwell was previously the head coach at Marshall. There, in one season, she led the Thundering Herd to a 26-7 record and won the Sun Belt regular season and conference tournament. In the Women’s NCAA Tournament, Marshall lost in the first round to Virginia Tech.
