Hajelujer's!!!

Barnes rode the back of Aari McDonald all the way to a missed shot for the National Championship. She never deserved anything further from UofA. So what, She spent time in the living space of her players and was maybe one of the more uncomfortable "Coaches" or people in positions of power over young people, minds.

Let SMU have Barnes. We will land someone truly right for Arizona.

It speaks volumes that most UofA fans will not be disappointed by this news.

It sucks that she started strong and had such a big drop off.

Great defensive coach and recruiter that neglects to develop offense.

Bye!

Watching the women play the last few drama-filled years has made my eyes bleed. The offense was putrid. Adia rode what Aari did and used it for a payday that made her the 10th highest paid women's basketball coach. AZ did not see a return on that investment. Time to move on.
