Becky Burke is the New ARIZONA WBB coach!

Becky Burke is storming into Tucson as the new head coach of Arizona's women's basketball team, and she's bringing a tidal wave of energy with her! Fresh off a jaw-dropping 30-win season at the University of Buffalo—where she snagged a WNIT Championship and cemented her status as a coaching supernova—Burke is no stranger to turning heads. A former Louisville sharpshooter, she's traded her jersey for a clipboard and skyrocketed through the ranks, ready to unleash her magic on a program hungry for glory. With Adia Barnes off to SMU, Burke's arrival signals a thrilling new era—think fast-paced hoops, unbreakable team spirit, and a relentless drive to dominate. Buckle up, Arizona: the Burke revolution is here!

Finally, somebody that appreciates offense. Can't wait to see how the team develops. Coach Burke has a lot of recruiting to do!

Adia was 169/114 at AZ, with a trip to the National Championship game. Her predecessor was 102/147
We'll find out if the new coach does better.

That's a cool story.  Can't wait to welcome their family to Tucson!

As far as Adia is concerned, I don't think the fanbase will be sad to see her go.  She did wonderful things throughout her tenure but she never seemed to interact with the fans, treated the players like disposable employees and allowed all of our offensively gifted players to leave.

Perhaps some of it has to do with NIL resources but our program built up support (thanks to Adia) and I couldn't imagine that other schools like SMU have a better system in place.
