On3 • • sports
Key Points:
- Roman Tubner was fired after two seasons as an assistant coach for the Lady Vols basketball team under coach Kim Caldwell, following the recent resignation of assistant coach Gabe Lazo.
- Gabe Lazo left to join LSU under coach Kim Mulkey, and Caldwell quickly hired Bill Ferrara from Florida State to replace him.
- Tubner was initially hired from Alabama to provide SEC experience for scouting and recruiting, contributing to top-10 recruiting classes and a Sweet 16 appearance in Caldwell's first year.
- Caldwell’s staff also includes Jenna Burdette, Angel Rizor, and Lexie Barrier, all brought in from Marshall, with Burdette having served as interim head coach during Caldwell’s brief absence last season.
- The Lady Vols started the 2025-2026 season as a preseason top-10 team, reflecting strong recruiting and coaching efforts despite recent staff changes.
