End of the road for Butts? 

Could Sunday’s game against Utah at McKale Center be the final Tucson coaching appearance by Arizona’s Niya Butts? In the last three seasons, Butts has gone 7-46 in the Pac-12. By comparison, her predecessor, Joan Bonvicini, went 11-43 in her final three Pac-10 seasons before AD Jim Livengood fired her in 2009.
