KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — Tennessee has rewarded coach Kim Caldwell with a one-year extension through the end of the 2029-30 season that includes a pay raise after she took the Lady Vols to the Sweet 16 in her first year.
University spokesman Jason Baum confirmed to The Associated Press that the deal was verbally agreed to Monday. No details of the raise were immediately available.
Caldwell was paid a base salary of $750,000 under the deal signed during the winter. She also received bonuses of $40,000 for winning an NCAA Tournament game and $75,000 for reaching the Sweet 16. The fifth-seeded Lady Vols lost 67-59 on Saturday to No. 1 seed Texas in a women’s NCAA Tournament regional semifinal in Birmingham, Alabama.
Caldwell went 24-10 in her first season with Tennessee and just her second at the Division I level.
