Legendary Colorado Buffaloes women’s basketball coach and administrator Ceal Barry retires

University of Colorado athletic administrator and former women’s basketball coach Ceal Barry is retiring at the age of 65 after 37 years with the school. Her retirement will be effective on July 1.

“It’s the right time,” said Barry in a press release. “I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my time in intercollegiate athletics, and I couldn’t have picked a better place than the University of Colorado to spend the vast majority of my career.”

Barry coached the women’s basketball team from 1983 until her retirement in 2005. After ending her coaching career, Barry began working in the school’s athletic department where she worked as the associate athletic director, senior women’s administrator and many other positions.
