Tennessee has found the next coach to lead its women’s basketball program. Kim Caldwell will leave Marshall for Knoxville, as first reported by Talia Goodman.
Caldwell takes over for Kellie Harper, who was fired last week after five seasons coaching the Lady Vols. Caldwell will be formally introduced at a news conference on Tuesday, according to the Knoxville News Sentinel.
In Caldwell’s lone season at Marshall, the Thundering Herd won the Sun Belt’s regular season and tournament championships, going 26–7 overall and 17–1 in conference. That performance earned Marshall an NCAA tournament bid as a No. 13 seed, but the Herd lost in the first round to No. 4 seed Virginia Tech.
