Adair's tenure ends after three challenging seasons, with a national search underway for her replacement.
- Natasha Adair was fired as Arizona State's women's basketball coach after three seasons without an NCAA Tournament appearance.
- Adair's record at Arizona State was 29-62 overall and 7-47 in conference play, including a 3-15 mark in the Big 12 this season.
- Her hiring in 2022 followed a successful stint at Delaware, but she struggled to replicate that success at Arizona State.
