I literally have known thousands of college men's and women's basketball coaches since 1988 and can say without a doubt that Kim Mulkey is by far the most abrasive and self absorbed coach I've ever interviewed. Glad she's at #LSU instead of #Baylor so I see her less often!!
@GSwaim Of course she is in the HOF, an Olympic gold medalist, won 4 National Championships so there is that...
Didn't say she wasn't aa good player or coach (she was and is), but she's very difficult to interview. For instance, once I interviewed her going into the new season after Baylor won their first National Championship and I asked her if it was any different preparing for a new season as defending Champions? She butted right in and very rudely said "We ain't defending nothing. We ARE the National Champions." I said "and congratulations, by the way", and started to wrap that interview up early.
@Eastball59 @GSwaim Where in the tweet did he say she wasn’t a successful coach?
@Eastball59 @GSwaim Not a fan…. May be a good X & O Coach….but fails to hold her players accountable for their actions on the court. Pulling hair or elbowing are not emotional reactions in a game.
@Eastball59 @GSwaim And her middle name is Duane… any other tangential facts we should throw out here?
@Eastball59 @GSwaim None of that makes her a decent human being either. So there’s that too.
@Eastball59 @GSwaim Good coach and horrible human being are not mutually exclusive
@Eastball59 @GSwaim It’s weird that you read that somewhere in his tweet, because I don’t have that ability.
