KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The new University of Tennessee Lady Vols' head coach Kim Caldwell shared some exciting news on social media. The new basketball coach is expecting a baby due in the winter of 2025.
She officially announced the pregnancy on Tuesday, sharing an image of a basketball with baby basketball shoes sitting atop the ball.
Tennessee hired Marshall's Kim Caldwell as the Lady Vol's women's basketball head coach in April. It was the first time UT has gone outside Lady Vol connections since Pat Summitt.
Caldwell is just the fourth Lady Vol head coach in NCAA basketball history.
The Lady Vols Basketball team also shared the post, congratulating Caldwell for her new addition to the 'Lady Vol family.'
She comes to Tennessee with eight years of college coaching experience but just one year at the Division I level. For seven seasons, Caldwell head coached at her alma mater, Glenville State. There, she led the team to a 2022 Division II national championship.
In her first year coaching DI, Caldwell led Marshall to a 26-7 overall record and went 17-1 in Sun Belt conference play. Caldwell completely turned the program around, and the team became regular season and conference champions.
