Former UTEP head women’s basketball coach Keitha Adams said her final farewell last week after 16 years at UTEP as she accepted the Wichita State head coaching position.
Sixteen years that featured a 284-209 overall record, two NCAA tournament appearances (2008 and 2012), and two WNIT appearances (2014 and 2016). She orchestrated the Miners to six 20-win seasons and three league championships in the past 11 seasons.
The announcement came out of left field for many within the program after her squad went 8-23 during the 2016-17 season. The decision was a difficult one, according to Adams.
