Former Wichita State women’s basketball coach Jody Adams-Birch, who agreed to part ways with the program in January, has found her next coaching gig: as an assistant high school coach.
Adams-Birch will be the varsity assistant on Jodie Karsak’s staff on the Derby girls basketball team this upcoming season. Jessica Diamond, who played for Adams-Birch’s former players at WSU will also join Derby’s staff as the junior varsity coach.
“What really drew my interest was who was going to be my leader,” Adams-Birch said. “I was so impressed watching (Karsak’s) players throughout the summer and how they work and how they go about things and their commitment and just their pure love and respect for basketball.
