Sure hope she appreciates how McDonald put money in her pockets.

Article from "The Next" about Barnes' contract extension. Makes it sound as if Baylor wasn't that much of a
factor

If she wasn't a good coach, McDonald wouldn't have followed her from UW to Arizona and voluntarily sit out a year.

And vice versa, in the form of a WNBA lottery pick contract.

Mutual appreciation. McDonald really carried that team on her back. And, Barnes is doing a great job coaching.

I could not help but like Adia Barnes. But I guess we will all see how good a coach she is next year, without her superstar. Will Arizona become a perennial contender sort of like UCLA has been under Close? Or will Arizona be more like Washington which plummeted after Plum graduated? We shall see.
Did USC announce a new coach yet?

I worry about them trying to get Kate again, especially if Tara looks like she is settling in for a few more laps.

Barnes is a good recruiter, so odds should be in favor of Arizona's continuing success. As to whether they make it back to the Finals...that's another issue.

I had the same reaction to Barnes. She seemed like a great coach and loved by her team. What put it over the top for me was the public discussion of her pumping at halftime of the FF. I thought that was an awesome think to make public to normalize women at work and what it takes.
