Arizona women’s basketball coach Adia Barnes had a viral moment after Arizona upset top-seeded UConn on Friday, flashing two middle fingers and dropping an expletive while giving a passionate speech to her team.
She was telling her players to, in PG terms, forget about the skeptics who doubted that they could reach the national championship game.
Shame on anybody who tries to make Adia Barnes apologize for telling the skeptics to F themselves. That’s a great moment. pic.twitter.com/qNq1vkGPHC

It fired up her team but also drew some criticism from people who think the gesture is a bad look for her and the University of Arizona.
