The Duke Blue Devils have to replace head women’s basketball coach Joanne P. McCallie after she resigned Thursday after 13 seasons at the helm.
McCallie led Duke to four straight Elite Eights from 2009 to 2013, but failed to advance past the Sweet Sixteen in her final seven seasons, and even missed the NCAA Tournament in 2015-16 and 2018-19.
Duke is looking for someone to jump start the prestigious program and ESPN’s Mechelle Voepel listed Arizona Wildcats coach Adia Barnes as one of the 10 best potential candidates.
“At 43, she seems in a really good place at her alma mater, where she’s 68-60 in four seasons, but just had her best year,” Voepel wrote.
