Tennessee coach Kim Caldwell, to Miss Texas game after the first child’s birth

Tennessee’s female basketball coach Kim Caldwell will not train the team’s game on Thursday night against Texas, the school announced, after giving birth to his first child, a son named Conor Scott Caldwell.

The assistant coach Jenna Burdette will participate in the role of the interim chief coach in the absence of Caldwell. The 29 -year -old has worked with Caldwell since 2018, first in Division II of Glenville State, then Marshall and Now Tennessee.

Lady Vols did not announce how long the Caldwell departure would take. Last week, Caldwell said That his plan was “to return to basketball as quickly as possible and then take my maternity leave after the basketball season”, pointing out that Tennessee supported that plan a lot and with what Caldwell felt more comfortable doing.

After a great game against the Longhorns, the Lady Vols calendar does not slow down. Tennessee welcomed No. 2 of South Carolina to Knoxville on Sunday for a confrontation between 25 and then travels to Missouri on February 2 and presents the number 6 of UConn in a confrontation without a conference on February 6.

Caldwell is the second power conference chief coach to give birth during this season. In December, the state coach of Oklahoma, Jacie Hoyt, welcomed her daughter Harlow in December and returned to the bank 10 days later, where the Cowgirls won their first Big 12 victory of the season with a victory over the state of Iowa.
