Tennessee Lady Vols basketball finished with its worst season in program history under second-year coach Kim Caldwell, who attributes the team's struggles to abandoning her signature pressing style for a "plan B" strategy. The team ended the season on an eight-game losing streak, the longest of the NCAA era, and finished with a 16-14 record. Caldwell attributed her failure to a decision to abandon her style of play for a Plan B, which she believes led to a loss of buy-in and a lack of leadership from the team. Despite this, Caldwell remains hopeful about next season, stating that the team will learn from these mistakes and build on them.
