Adia Barnes gets snubbed in the Conference Coach of the Year race

The 2019-20 Women’s Basketball regular season is officially over and with the tournaments soon starting, the awards and accolades are piling in for the Arizona Women’s Basketball team, except for head coach Adia Barnes.

Perhaps in one of the biggest robberies in college basketball, the Pac-12 Conference made their selection for conference coach of the year, and surprisingly not winning the award was Barnes.

The award instead went to Oregon head coach, Kelly Graves.

Now granted this isn’t to say that Graves wasn’t deserving by any means, and when you finish 28-2 (17-1) on the year, I could certainly see the case as to why he was selected.
