Adia Barnes says she's not interested in the Washington job.

It's interesting that both the USC and Washington openings seem to be taking a lot of time to fill, with a series of denials leaking out from the rumored frontrunners. For a couple of days, I wondered if Kate Paye was holding up the hiring process for both schools. With her public statement that she's staying at Stanford, I thought that that might also mean that both schools had made decisions.  Instead, more denials are leaking out.

I suppose one potential theory is that both programs are more of a dumpster fire than I had realized. The USC program was certainly in turmoil over the past couple of years. On the other hand, there's great support for women's basketball in Seattle and the program really turned around under Neighbors even though he seemed to recruit very poorly locally. An incoming coach to either program would likely want some assurances that he/she was going to be given sufficient time to bring in the recruits necessary to compete in the upper half of the conference.
