Following Head  Coach Kim Caldwell’s recent delivery, Lady Vols basketball forward **Sara Puckett** shared a heartfelt message to express her joy and support for Caldwell during this significant time in her life. In a brief but powerful three-word message, Puckett wrote: **”So happy for you!”** These words capture the genuine excitement and warmth that the Lady Vols feel for Caldwell as she begins her journey into motherhood.

Puckett’s message is a testament to the strong relationships and tight-knit community that defines the Tennessee Lady Vols basketball program. Even though the Lady Vols are primarily focused on their season and basketball goals, moments like this remind everyone that the team is built on personal connections, and players and staff alike take the time to celebrate each other’s milestones.

While Caldwell is on maternity leave, Puckett’s message is a reminder of the deep respect and admiration the team has for their coaches. As a forward for the Lady Vols, Puckett has a front-row seat to the leadership and dedication that Caldwell has brought to the program. Caldwell has worked closely with players like Puckett, helping them develop both on and off the court. The team’s connection with their coaching staff is integral to their success, and Puckett’s simple yet meaningful words reflect the appreciation she feels for Caldwell’s contributions to the program.

The Lady Vols’ coaching staff, including Caldwell, has played a significant role in developing Puckett’s skills as a player. Caldwell’s influence has been felt not only in practice and game strategy but also in the personal mentorship she offers players. As Puckett continues to develop her game under Coach **Kellie Harper** and her assistants, it’s clear that Caldwell’s positive impact on the team will continue to resonate.

The message is also a reminder of the supportive and nurturing culture that has been a hallmark of the Lady Vols for years. Under the leadership of Coach Harper, the team has maintained a strong sense of family, where players and coaches lift each other up in times of success and challenge alike. Puckett’s three words speak to the shared sense of joy that comes with a teammate’s personal happiness, reinforcing that the Lady Vols basketball program is more than just about basketball.

This moment also speaks to the way the Lady Vols program fosters a sense of unity that extends beyond the court. Whether it’s celebrating a big win, supporting each other through tough times, or sharing in the joy of a personal milestone like Caldwell’s new chapter of motherhood, the Lady Vols truly embody the values of camaraderie, respect, and support.

As Caldwell embraces her new role as a mother, Puckett’s message of happiness will no doubt serve as a reminder of the strong, encouraging environment that defines the Lady Vols basketball team. It’s a reminder that, while the focus on the court is always important, the relationships that form off the court—between coaches and players—are just as vital to the team’s overall success.

Puckett’s gesture may seem small, but it speaks volumes about the heart of the Lady Vols program and the way everyone is there for one another. Whether it’s through a simple message or through years of mentorship, the Lady Vols continue to support and celebrate each other, both in their personal and professional lives.
