Tennessee’s women’s basketball season concluded March 20 with a loss to North Carolina State in the NCAA Tournament first round.
The Lady Vols finished their 2025-26 campaign with a 16-14 (8-8 SEC) record under second-year head coach Kim Caldwell.

Following the season, Caldwell announced coaching staff changes.
Tennessee hired Florida State associate head coach Bill Ferrara and he will serve as an assistant coach, replacing Gabe Lazo, who submitted his resignation on March 27. Lazo was hired at LSU after leaving Tennessee.
On Thursday, Caldwell and the Lady Vols parted ways with assistant coach Roman Tubner.
“I want to thank coach Tubner for his contributions to our program during the past two seasons,” Caldwell said in a statement released by Tennessee. “We wish him the very best moving forward.”
In two seasons as Tennessee’s head coach, Caldwell has complied a 40–24 (16-16 SEC) record and appeared in two NCAA Tournaments, including the 2025 Sweet 16.
