Adia Barnes was asked if she had anything punitive lined up for Stanford star sophomore
Haley Jones for this week’s USA Basketball Women’s AmeriCup Team trials at Columbia, South Carolina. Barnes is an assistant on
Dawn Staley’s USA staff, along with
Jennifer Rizzotti, USA Women’s National Team assistant coach and Connecticut Sun president.
After all, it would have been easy for Barnes to say yes after Jones led Stanford to a 54-53 victory over Arizona in the national championship game two weeks ago.
“Nahhh,” Barnes said with a laugh. “I’m actually glad I get to coach her instead of coaching against her. She’s a really good player.”

“My favorite baseball player is Buster Posey. I’m from the Bay Area and his career really took off when I started to follow the sport. He’s been the face of the San Francisco Giants for a decade now and is the epitome of someone who leads by example. He’s carried the Giants to legendary heights such as winning three world series and an MVP award. He’s beloved in the Bay Area similar to the likes of Steph Curry and Frank Gore. The joy that he’s brought to Giants fans is something that I will never forget and is honestly why I fell in love with the sport. Each milestone in his illustrious career has a special place in my heart and that’s why he’s my favorite player.”
