Tennessee Fires Coach Holly Warlick After Seven Seasons With Lady Vols

The University of Tennessee has fired Lady Vols coach Holly Warlick, director of athletics Phillip Fulmer announced on Wednesday.

Warlick played and coached for legendary coach Pat Summitt before succeeding her as head coach in 2012. During her seven-year tenure with the team, Warlick compiled a 172–67 overall record, guiding the Lady Vols to NCAA Tournament berths during each campaign.

Tennessee also claimed three SEC trophies with Warlick at the helm, winning regular-season championships in 2013 and 2015 and capturing the SEC Tournament title in 2014.

"Holly and I met this afternoon, and I informed her of the decision to change leadership within the program," Fulmer said.
