    Former Lady Vols Coach Holly Warlick

    Former Lady Vols Coach Holly Warlick

    Lady Vols Coach Holly Warlick is the head coach of the

    Tennessee Lady Vols


    college basketball

    team. She replaced head coach

    Pat Summitt

    prior to the 2012–2013 season.  



    In six complete years at the helm of Tennessee women's basketball, Coach Holly Warlick has built a very impressive résumé in her young coaching career.  Her worksheet contains accomplishments few coaches have achieved in their entire careers, much less as first-time head coaches. 




    COACHWARLICK RANKS AMONG THE NATION'S TOP COACHES:





    Eleven Lady Vols have been taken in the WNBA Draft in Warlick's six seasons.


    Warlick has continued the Lady Vols' 100-percent graduation rate for players who have completed their collegiate careers at Tennessee.


    Only three schools have reached the NCAA Elite Eight more times in the past six seasons than the Lady Vols, who advanced to that round in 2013, 2015 and 2016.


    Warlick and Leon Barmore (formerly of Louisiana Tech) are the only skippers to direct their programs to three NCAA Elite Eight appearances in their first four seasons as head coaches.


    Holly Warlick's 153-54 record over the past six years ranks her 11th among Power Five women's coaches.


    She is the only coach in that group who has fewer than 10 seasons as a head coach.


    UT ranks eighth among Power Five schools with a 13-6 NCAA Tournament record during the past six seasons.


    Warlick's career SEC (.740, 71-25) winning percentage ranks her first among all SEC women's head coaches.


    Tennessee has claimed three SEC trophies in Warlick's first six seasons, winning regular-season crowns in 2013 and 2015 and claiming the tournament title in 2014.
