Keitha Adams says farewell to UTEP, assistant leaving too

Former UTEP women's basketball coach Keitha Adams said her farewells to El Paso as it was revealed her top assistant for the last 16 years, Ewa Laskowska, was following her to Wichita State.

Adams accepted the head coaching position at what amounts to a hometown school for her last Thursday, was introduced in Wichita on Monday and returned to UTEP to bid a final goodbye on Thursday.

"The first day was a hurricane, the second day a windstorm, the third day a dustbowl," Adams said. "I think I cried more than when I got divorced, I cried like people do when they drop of their first-born at college.
