By Ryan Kelapire, Arizona Desert Swarm: Adia Barnes is getting another big pay raise.
A month after signing an extension that included a base salary of $3.345 million over five years, the Arizona women’s basketball coach has agreed to revised terms with the UA that will pay her $5.85 million over five years.
The news of the raise comes a day after Baylor, one of the nation’s top programs, ended its head coaching search by hiring the Atlanta Dream’s Nicki Colleen. There were rumors that Baylor was interested in Barnes, who may have used that to her advantage.
