I know it’s been brought up but Kim should be coaching the men’s team!

It truly is not a bad idea.

Not saying I’m for it but she’d do a better job than ppl think and certainly a better job than the current guy.

Yes. Its a terrible idea. And would never happen.

Maybe she should beat Dawn Staley first

Obviously. You’d be hard pressed to do much worse. What’s the floor at LSU with our ooc schedule? Where we’re at now? Close but slightly under .500. If you went 0-fer in conferences and dropped some gimmes is 10 wins with our schedule as absolutely putrid as LSU could possibly be? We’re never losing every game especially with a cupcake non conference schedule.
So under McMahon, we’re 3-4 games above the absolute floor of the shittiest the program could be possibly be the past two seasons? And we’re thinking about coming back for more?

Think of all the virtue points we would get

Womens and mens basketball are not the same game, there's a reason you basically see zero crossover there in terms of women coaching mens teams or womens coaches (including men) coming to coach major college basketball.
I dont think a single current woman is coaching a mens team at the NCAA level, I know its happened at the JUCO level...but thats it I believe. Maybe some really small 4 year college somewhere, but not at the Division I or probably even II level.
Very different game for starter but on top of that the "recruiting" is entirely different. Lets be honest here, what high level men's player would want to come play for a woman's career head coach? It would be brutal recruiting for that even if Kim really understood how the mens game works and what it takes to succeed.

They would win, but we are 15 years too late to make that happen.

Bob Starkey says HELLO
quote:15 years too late for him too
With more than 30 years of SEC coaching experience, Starkey came to LSU after one year of coaching at Auburn. From 1989-2011, Starkey coached at LSU with tenures with both the men’s and women’s programs. He coached LSU greats Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Seimone Augustus, Sylvia Fowles, Temeka Jonson, Shaquille O’Neal and Stanley Roberts during his original 22-year stint in Baton Rouge.

Bob Starkey moved from men's to women's, but he is the only crossover I can think of.

I’m sure they’d take her seriously

Not the same game. Not saying she couldn’t have success but it’s not apples to apples.

Much easier to move from Mens to Womens than the opposite. The women's game isn't remotely similar to the men's game.
Posted on 3/23/26 at 11:25 am to Geekboy
This is so absurd that it should be banned. Number one, Mulkey is about to retire in a couple of years or so. Number two, the men and women's game is so different that she would be at a disadvantage. And most importantly, macho men basketball players would not want to play for a woman coach. I am sure Mulkey herself would never want to take on such a huge challenge in the twilight of her career. She wants to stay home and play with the grandkids.

I heard Bob Starkey talking about this. He started in MBB and switched to WBB. He said that switch was not easy nor would he recommend it in either direction.

So the men play the Sc girls ?

When did Starkey coach men's basketball? LSUsports.net shows him as only an assistant coach on the women's team from 1989 to 2006. He apparently did not coach Chris Jackson, Shaq or Stanley Roberts.
