Timeline

1977

Adia Oshun Barnes (born February 3, 1977) is an American basketball coach and former player.

She is currently the head coach of the University of Arizona Wildcats women's basketball.

She played at the collegiate level for the University of Arizona, and played seven seasons in the Women's National Basketball Association (WNBA) with the Houston Comets, Seattle Storm, Minnesota Lynx, and Sacramento Monarchs.

She has played internationally with Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine.

Barnes has also served as a TV color analyst for Seattle Storm game broadcasts.

Barnes grew up in San Diego, California and attended Mission Bay Senior High School in San Diego.

She is the daughter of NFL player Pete Barnes.

He and Adia's mother divorced when she was three.

Over the course of her high school career, she amassed 1112 blocks, the most ever recorded by a female high school basketball player, 253 blocks ahead of second place Chris Enger.

1995

At 5'11", Barnes wasn't as tall as most post position players at the highly regarded Division I schools. The University of Arizona head coach Joan Bonvicini initially didn't think she would be able to play at the post, even after watching film of her play. However, after seeing her in person, she immediately offered Barnes a scholarship, who enrolled in the school for the 1995 season. Her physical play earned her a comparison to Charles Barkley from a Sports Illustrated writer. In her freshman year she earned the Pac-10 freshman of the year award, the first player from Arizona to win such an award.

In Barnes's sophomore year, the team earned a WNIT bid and won the championship.

Barnes was named the tournament Most Valuable Player.

As a junior, Barnes helped the team to their first ever NCAA appearance.

They won their first game against Western Kentucky, and then lost by six points to the second seed in their bracket, Georgia.

She went on to set 22 individual records for the Arizona Wildcats, including career points and rebounds, many of which are still records.

She would go on to become the first women's player in Arizona to be drafted into the professional leagues.

Although successful as an undersized post in college, Barnes knew that she would not be able to continue as a post player in the pros, so she decided to transform herself into a guard.

She originally was signed by the now-defunct Sacramento Monarchs, playing in 29 games and earning a starting position in 16 games.

However, she was then traded to Minnesota and then Cleveland, and saw her playing time dwindle.

She played overseas to work on her skills and concentrated on becoming a specialist.

2002

In 2002, she was traded to the Seattle Storm, who were picked to finish second to last in their division.

With Sue Bird and Lauren Jackson on the team, Storm coach Lin Dunn wasn't looking for a scorer, so Barnes concentrated on becoming a shut-down defender.

Her work effort paid off, and she helped the team to make the playoffs in only their third year of existence.

Barnes also played internationally with Dynamo Kiev in Ukraine.

She played for several Euroleague teams, Priolo (Italy), Elitzur Ramla (Israel), Napoli BK (Italy), UMMC (Russia), Mersin (Turkey), and Pozzuoli (Italy).

2007

In 2007, Barnes became a color commentator for the radio coverage of the Storm.

She had some experience as a commentator for the World Championship games.

The games were held in Brazil, but the broadcasts were done in a remote studio, making it a challenge.

2010

Barnes was also the color commentator for the radio broadcasts of Seattle University Redhawks women's basketball games during the 2010–2011 season.

In October 2010, Barnes was named Director of Player and Coach Development at Seattle Academy.

Barnes was approached by her Arizona coach Joan Bonvicini to see if she was interested in coaching.

At the time, Barnes was still actively playing for the Storm, and turned down the opportunity.

After finishing the regular season with 17 wins, their most in the regular season since 2010–11, Arizona entered the conference tournament as the No. 8 seed, knocking off USC to begin tournament play.

The Wildcats would finish the year 18–13, before ultimately being selected for the Women's National Invitation Tournament.

2011

However, she enjoyed working at camps, so when the new head coach of the University of Washington, Kevin McGuff, asked her in 2011 to consider coaching, he was able to persuade her, and she joined the Huskies as an assistant coach.

2012

As of 2012, she did broadcasts of Storm games for both radio and TV, along with play-by-play announcer Dick Fain.

2016

Barnes was named head women's basketball coach at the University of Arizona on April 4, 2016.

After a fairly rough start to her coaching career, Barnes entered her third season with the Wildcats, with high hopes.

The team began the year 12–1, but ultimately struggled when it came to Pac-12 conference play.

2019

The Wildcats guided by Barnes, would make it to the WNIT Final, knocking off Northwestern to become the 2019 WNIT Champions.
