Wichita State women's basketball coach Jody Adams cuts down nets in Koch Arena during a pep rally on Wednesday. The rally was to celebrate the Shockers' first conference title in school history.
Jody Adams-Birch’s compelling list of career accolades are often hidden by an investigation when four players quit following a 29-win season in 2014-15.
Now in 2017, another investigation and a mutual parting with the university overshadow her nine years of work as Wichita State’s head coach.
After information was brought to athletic director Darron Boatright’s attention regarding the overall atmosphere on Thursday, Adams-Birch was suspended for the team’s two weekend games at Koch Arena and eventually was relieved of her coaching duties on Sunday.
