Keitha Adams has returned to the Sun City as the new women’s basketball head coach. Adams is known as the winningest head coach in the history of UTEP women’s basketball history.
Adams had a historic season from 2007-2008 where the team had 28 victories, a 23-game winning streak, an undefeated run in conference play during the regular season and the Miners’ first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance. The Miners went on to win the first round of the “Big Dance” against Western Kentucky 92-60.
Four years after that, Adams led the Miners back to the NCAA Tournament, setting a school record of 29 wins.
