Tennessee women's basketball head coach Kim Caldwell received a contract extension following her first season with the Lady Vols.

Her extension is through March 31, 2030.

"From our first meeting with Kim, it was clear that she is a groundbreaking innovator destined to lead the future of women's basketball," Tennessee vice chancellor and director of athletics Danny White announced. "In just one season, we experienced firsthand how her winning formula can revolutionize the game with her dynamic, high-octane offense and relentless defense. The promising future of Lady Vols basketball is in great hands under Kim's leadership, setting the stage for a remarkable journey ahead!"

I look forward to getting back to work, finding ways we can improve our program and continuing to take the steps necessary to compete for championships."
