Post College
After graduation from the College in 1981, Lynn went on to earn a master's degree from Kentucky with a 4.0 GPA. While a graduate student, she was an assistant coach for the Kentucky Wildcats women's basketball team from 1981 to 1983 under head coach Terry Hall.
Lynn eventually worked as an enforcement representative for the NCAA and was the only woman on a 10-person staff of field investigators. She then worked as the assistant director of USA Basketball for eleven years (1985–1996) where she organized all women’s basketball teams for participation in events such as the Olympics, World Championships and Pan-American Games. After the women's national team won the gold medal at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Barry left USA Basketball to become a special advisor to the WNBA. She worked at this position for five years, but is now a guest speaker at youth basketball camps in and around her home of Colorado Springs.
