KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — The Lady Vols went to social media on Sunday to share a clip of the new head coach, Kim Caldwell, meeting some of the players.
The new team began with hugs, followed by Caldwell getting a tour of the campus practicing facilities.
"Nobody's more excited than I am," Caldwell said.
Caldwell shared her excitement with the team as well as her plans going forward as the new coach for the Lady Vols.
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.
This season, Caldwell also gave Marshall their first NCAA tournament appearance since 1997.
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.
"I'm looking forward to hearing what you want, hearing what your goals are," Caldwell said. "I'm excited to get to work."
