Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico reflects on bittersweet return to New Jersey without her dad

PISCATAWAY, N.J. (AP) — Coming home to New Jersey this week was bittersweet for Michigan coach Kim Barnes Arico. She always looked forward to coaching in the Garden State as it would be a chance to see her family, including her dad, George. Barnes Arico had around 100 family members and friends at the No. 7 Wolverines’ game against fifth-ranked Vanderbilt on Monday at the Coretta Scott King Classic, which Michigan lost 72-69. She was expecting a lot again on Thursday night for a game against Rutgers, which the Wolverines won 94-60, giving Barnes Arico her 300th win at the school. One person was missing, George. He died on Nov. 1 after battling cancer and Parkinson's disease.
