Neither Tubner or Louisville has made an official announcement yet, but Tubner's Instagram bio now says "Louisville WBB" and his cover photo on X is a Louisville women's basketball graphic. Tubner was fired in April after spending two seasons on coach Kim Caldwell's staff.
Caldwell released a statement on April 2 after the news broke and confirmed that the program had "parted ways" with Tubner.
"I want to thank Coach Tubner for his contributions to our program during the past two seasons," Caldwell said in a statement. "We wish him the very best moving forward."
Tubner will be reunited with former Lady Vol Deniya Prawl, who transferred to Louisville in April. All eight of Tennessee's possible returners entered the transfer portal after the Lady Vols went 16-14 last season.
Before Caldwell hired him in 2024, Tubner spent the previous three seasons on the Alabama women's basketball staff and was an associate head coach in his final season with the Tide.
Tubner interviewed for the head coach opening at Kennesaw State, according to a report from USA TODAY on March 27. Kennesaw State hired Tianni Kelly on March 30.
Tubner was making $250,000 annually on Caldwell's staff, according to UT's salary database.
Tubner was one of two assistants Caldwell hired from other SEC staffs when she got the Lady Vols job, along with Gabe Lazo, who she hired from Mississippi State. Lazo resigned from Tennessee's staff on March 27 and was hired by LSU on March 31.
Caldwell has since hired former Florida State associate head coach Bill Ferrara and former Georgia assistant coach Isoken Uzamere to fill her open positions on staff.
Tubner also made stops at Ball State (2021-22), UNC Wilmington (2019-20), Indiana State (2018-19), Austin Peay (2017-18), Arkansas Tech (2014-17) and Division II Arkansas-Monticello (2013-14). He started his coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Arkansas-Monticello men's basketball team before switching to women's basketball.
The Montgomery, Alabama, native played for Centenary from 2008-11.
