Do people actually think Mulkey would still be coaching at LaTech today when her current salary is well over 2 million dollars and Tech can't even pay their football coach 1 million?

Kim might have coached there for a little while, but a time would have come quickly when they couldn't afford her and she would have found a high-paying Power 5 job.

You are spot on.

She hung around as an assistant for 15 years. If she was so interested in making more money, why didn't she take a HC job sooner? LaTech was women's basketball. I suspect she would've worked for less to stay there and win.

Perhaps if she sustained LaTech's early success their athletic department would generate sufficient revenue to pay her?

You don't need to be a large institution to be successful at basketball.

Mulkey may have stayed through a 4-5 year contract with Tech and then moved on. Her husband was Tech QB and graduate there so who knows if that would have factored in.
