It was a great showing on Wednesday night in Thompson-Boling Arena for Kim Caldwell’s debut as the new coach of the famed Tennessee Lady Volunteers. Her style, described as unapologetic and unique, was on full display on both sides of the ball.
It wasn’t a particularly efficient night shooting from three for the Vols, but 10-34 from deep will get the job done at the pace in which they played. Conditioning was a priority all offseason from Caldwell to her team to prepare them for how she wants them to play, and it shined all night on the defensive end as the Lady Vols stymied Samford’s offense in all facets.
