The Lady Vols fell short of an Elite Eight berth but their buy-in of Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell's high-energy playing style bodes well for Year Two.

Lady Vols basketball coach Kim Caldwell will make $1 million annually with contract extension she signed after her first season at Tennessee.

Besides the high-pressure defense, Caldwell's offense relies on a fast pace and a lot of 3-pointers. The five-star is ranked No. 14 in the 2025 class and plays at IMG Academy.
