Days after coming back home to take the reins of the UTEP women's basketball program, Keitha Adams promised her first staff would be one to excite the fans.
She delivered on that promise.
Joining her long-time right hand Ewa Lakowska will be two former point guard Miner greats, UTEP Hall of Famer Jareica Hughes (2006-10) and three-time team captain Lulu McKinney (2015-17).
McKinney was an assistant at Southern Illinois last season while Hughes was the interim head coach at Colby Community College in Kansas, but UTEP fans will remember them as stalwarts of a golden age.
