Arizona women's basketball coach Niya Butts has hired her first assistant, naming former Central Florida assistant Brandy Manning as her recruiting coordinator. He began the job Thursday.

In one season at Central Florida, Manning recruited Tia Lewis, the 2008 Conference USA Freshman of the Year who ranked fifth in the nation in rebounds per game. He also worked with the team's guards and recruited eight players in less than two months after taking the job in April 2007. Central Florida finished the season 10-20.

"I've known him for a few years. He's a professional guy and very talented, exceptional at what he does," Butts said. "He's going to help me tremendously."

Before Central Florida, Manning was the recruiting coordinator and worked with the post players for a year at Murray State.

The Arizona Board of Regents approved UA contracts Thursday for women's basketball coach Niya Butts and swim coach Frank Busch.

Butts' five-year contract was approved and valued at $200,000 a year. The contract includes performance incentives, including $15,000 for a Pac-10 championship or $5,000 for a Pac-10 tournament title. A 25-win season would net $10,000, and if the average paid attendance for home games is between 2,001-3,000 people, she would earn $2,500.

Busch's contract was extended to 2011 and his pay was raised to $120,000 a year after leading the women's and men's teams to NCAA championships earlier this spring.

Both coaches' salaries will be paid for by profits from the UA's athletic department and do not use state tax dollars.
