Wichita State’s women’s basketball coach Jody Adams-Birch missed Friday’s 65-54 win over Bradley while WSU athletic director Darron Boatright investigates “information recently received about the women’s basketball program.”
Adams-Birch will also miss Sunday’s game, but her future beyond this weekend is unclear. The Shockers insisted after Friday’s game that it was as if Adams-Birch never left.
“We did nothing different than what Coach Adams would have done tonight,” acting coach Kirk Crawford said. “The biggest thing with this was the consistency of what Coach Adams brings to this program to tonight. We did nothing different, and I think that was really important for our players to feel comfortable.
