Former Tennessee All-American and WNBA All-Star Tamika Catchings will serve as an analyst on SEC Network, calling several women's basketball games during the remainder of the season.
Catchings recently retired from the WNBA after a 15-year career with the Indiana Fever. Her illustrious professional career includes a national championship (2012), most valuable player (2011), four Olympic gold medals, and five-time defensive player of the year. She was also named Rookie of the Year in 2002 after leading the team in point, rebounds and assists, and ranking in the league's top 10 in points, rebounds, assists, steals and blocks. "I am thrilled for this opportunity to work with so many talented broadcasters at ESPN and to learn from each one of them," said Catchings. "As a young girl, I never imagined I would be put in this position. I'm excited to embark on another journey in sports." Prior to the WNBA, Catchings played under legendary head coach Pat Summitt at the University of Tennessee and was a member of the 1997-98 undefeated team that captured the national championship title. Her accolades as a Lady Vol include four-time All-American, the Naismith National Player of the Year (2000) and Academic All-SEC.Videos
