Fresh off a National Championship appearance and the best NCAA tournament run in program history, Adia Barnes, head coach of the Arizona Wildcats, has helped lead one of the most successful rebuilds in college basketball. As such, she has garnered well-deserved national attention from news outlets, fans and followers, and other Division 1 universities searching for head coaching candidates.

On April 25, 2021, after 21 years and 3 national championships with the Baylor Bears, Kim Mulkey announced she was leaving to become the next head coach at Louisiana State University (LSU). Since then, many reporters and analysts have suggested Adia Barnes as a likely replacement for Mulkey, citing her recent success in rebuilding Arizona, as well as her player development with NCAA sensation and recent WNBA draft pick, Aari McDonald.

The goal of this petition is to show your support and love for Adia Barnes and the Arizona Women's Basketball program in order to keep her in Tucson! Adia has meant so much to the University of Arizona and city of Tucson as both a player and coach...this is your chance convince her and Arizona Athletics that Adia Barnes is a Wildcat For Life! Bear Down! Made For It!
