Female Coaches

The NCAA women's tournament will make history next month as two Black women lead teams into the Final Four for the first time.

Dawn Staley's South Carolina Gamecocks will enter the Final Four for the third time, while the Arizona Wildcats and head coach Adia Barnes will make their debut appearance.

"It's incredible to be representing Black female coaches on the biggest stage. This is the biggest stage for women's basketball so it's an honor," she continued. "To be behind someone like Dawn Staley is incredible. She's a proven winner who has done amazing things for women's basketball. To even be in the conversation with someone that great, it's an honor."
