For the second time in five days, New Mexico State University has hired a basketball coach.
Jody Adams-Birch will be taking over the Aggies’ women’s basketball program, athletic director Mario Moccia announced Thursday.
She replaces Brooke Atkinson, whose contract expired after this past season, a 10-19 campaign.
Adams-Birch has 27 years of coaching experience, including nine as head coach at Wichita State, where she led the Shockers to three NCAA Tournaments and one season at Murray State, where she also led her team to the NCAA Tournament.
