Beyond assistant coach Salvo Coppa, many of Adia Barnes’ assistants for Arizona women’s basketball have been relatively young coaches at the beginning of their careers. This year, Barnes is going in a new direction. After moving Bett Shelby into an on-court assistant position, Barnes has hired Anthony Turner as her third assistant according to a report from Jason Scheer of 274 Sports.
The Colorado alumnus has spent over 20 years coaching at schools across the Western U.S., spending time at Colorado, Oregon State, San Diego State, UNLV, Boise State, New Mexico, Utah Valley, and, most recently, Weber State.
