Is Arizona close to hiring a new women's basketball coach?

It has almost been a month since the Arizona women’s basketball program parted ways with former head coach Niya Butts, but the program has yet to hire a replacement.

The process, however, could be completed fairly soon.

“Despite a hectic couple of weeks, the search for our next head women’s basketball coach has been at the top of my priority list and I’m excited to let you know the process should be coming to a close within the next few weeks,” Vice President of Arizona Athletics Greg Byrne wrote in his Wildcat Wednesday blog.
