re: I have never seen a coach almost universally hated in the media quite like Kim Mulkey

It’s part of her brand; it’ll do well for her when she runs for Senate/House in future.

So was most of the Iowa team that kicked arse Monday night.

Please let the Hawkeyes get South Carolina again and go on to beat the crape/shite out of them........

As I said last week, the legacy media is trying to cancel her. She is the Donald Trump of Women’s College Basketball.

I am so tired of the constant hate Mulkey gets. She has both sides hating her now. And it's always misunderstandings.

People hate her for the Griner stuff at Baylor, yet that was Baylor's own policies wanting her to keep her lesbian status hush. That wasn't on Mulkey. Mulkey does not care what her players say or do as long as they show up for practice. Her players constantly say they love that she lets them be themselves.

Then they hated her, because she didn't do enough for Griner while she was in Russian jail? What is she suppose to do? She is a basketball coach. Griner also spread lies about Mulkey, but Mulkey still wished her the best.

Then people hated her, because she stood up for her player being assaulted on the court by saying pick on someone your own size. So she kept it real? Shouldn't people respect honesty? If a male coach said the same thing under the same circumstances he would be praised.
Not fully Kim related, but you also have Angel Reese getting crap for trash talking yet nobody cares when Clark does it. Nobody should regardless who does it.

Then some tried to call Kim a Karen for going off on journalists for shady behavior towards her team and herself. Yet she was just defending them. And guess what? It worked. They edited their trash content. Again, nothing wrong with this. That is not being a Karen. The UCLA coach losing her mind, because a player said something on the court was acting like a Karen. Mulkey wouldn't care what a player said on the court.

And now you have a mostly conservative fan base hating on Mulkey for something they don't even understand with the anthem. They think they did this as some sort of act of protest, yet they've always done this. And if anything it is done to PREVENT any type of protest. It was not done to be disrespectful. I feel so bad for Mulkey right now, because I honestly believe she is a great person and if people actually truly knew her they would like her. However, many just look for reasons to criticize her. It's really upsetting.

And by the way, Carter pointed out Pat Summitt's teams stayed off the court for the anthem as well. I haven't verified, but there are plenty of teams that aren't out for the anthem. Yet LSU gets all the hate. I am so sick and tired of LSU constantly getting singled out and shite on nationally.

Baylor is a private Baptist University so you would think that they don't condone their students being "out" publicly. Coaches also wouldn't want them to shout out their sexuality as that could cause them to be removed from the school, and in turn the program.

And I would say "stayed off the court" even gives the wrong impression as if it's a purposeful affront to the anthem. It's not. Teams have pregame routines that have them warming up then going in and coming back at times that fit that routine....for instance every LSU football game I've been to in the last 50 years this is the routine that's followed, the routine has both teams in the locker room during the anthem. They are not waiting in the locker room until the anthem is over as some sort of protest. The whole premise of the story is flawed and ignorant. It's the type of stuff that folks here regularly lampoon when those on the other side do it.

Up until a few hours ago I loved her so much that I said “she won’t lose after being attacked like that” and made a wager.

This morning I find myself, like Air Supply, all out of love.

This is weak.

Democrats hate anyone that doesn't join their cult

Her country accent and out going personality piss them off. Shannon Sharpe goes on and on about how she only gets away with things that "other coaches" wouldnt

You must not have been around when Bobby Knight was coaching.
