Jody Adams-Birch lands head coaching job at New Mexico State

Jody Adams-Birch, WSU’s former head women’s basketball coach from 2008-2017, has been hired as New Mexico State’s next head coach. She’s the second former Shocker coach to land a job with the Aggies in the last week, after Greg Heiar was named their next men’s basketball head coach.

Adams-Birch had a tumultuous tenure with WSU, which ultimately came to a close as WSU and Adams-Birch parted ways in 2017. Following a 29-win season in 2015, WSU conducted an informal investigation into Adams-Birch, after four players left the program due to accusations of mental and physical abuse, but she continued to lead the program following the review.
