Kim Mulkey is no stranger to iconic on-court moments. She has spent her entire career without holding back her emotions and with her heart on her sleeve, be it celebrations, frustrations, complaints, or just a dialogue with her players.
Almost every player who has played under Mulkey has shared how intense and passionate a coach she is. Angel Reese once revealed that Mulkey would shout and scream to bring out the intensity from her players. Flau’jae Johnson recently reacted to Mulkey’s emotional response to the LSU star’s last home game, saying that the coach scolded her just before the interview.
Despite the intensity, every player knows Mulkey’s intentions, and everybody is grateful for it. Mulkey produces serial winners, and every player who plays under her strives for that success. So when a coach is so dedicated to her job, it is all but natural that she gets animated on the sidelines, especially if it’s the second-round game of the national tournament.
During LSU’s 101-47 win over the Texas Tech Lady Raiders on Sunday, MiLaysia Fulwiley picked up her second foul, and Kim Mulkey was not happy about it. She frantically waved her hands and bent down and up repeatedly. She also pointed to the replay to suggest that MiLaysia shouldn’t have gotten that call. She then went right in the referee’s face. All this while she did not stop screaming and showing her frustration.
