Fact is, she's a foe, she's in the Hawks way.
Dispose of her tonight...

Blue ribbon for me! I'll take this opportunity to thank the OP, my mom for raising me well, and his mom for showing me the ropes.
And I am inspired to share this as a celebration of this moment:
Iowa State hung with Baylor through about 3.5 qtrs..
No reason the Hawks can't...
No reason the Hawks can't...
Sorry, all I see is a coach annoyed by stupid sports media writing
Me too. Has to be a tedious, frustrating part of the job. Coaches at that level and experience want to be coaching not talking to reporters.
Are you kidding me. This is women's basketball. They should want all the attention.
I hope Gustafson goes for 45 and 25 tonight.
I would be willing to lose the next game by 30 if it meant winning against trash university.
I do find humor in "adults" who refer to someone as a "bully". There is a window of age where one goes from "bully" to a**hole or other variations of colorful words.

She's like Bobby Knight without the class
Seems to me she has, on multiple occasions, missed an opportunity to further the game not only for herself and her team but for all of the women playing collegiate basketball.
They played them three times and lost to them three times. Lost by 15, 13, and 18. Which game are you citing? Certainly not blowout scores. Respectable. But three times means each team would have been more used to the other and what they do. Also, Iowa is in the elite eight and ISU is not. What happens tonight has nothing to do with ISU.
Old article but gives some insight to her "success"...

The last one...
Big 12 tourney..
Within 3 I think start of 4th or mid 4th..
I watched it..
Real close game through 3 anyway..
I didn't perceive Kalani to be talking shit, but maybe I missed something. It just sounds like a couple of people who are annoyed with this reporter for whatever reason. My guess is it goes a little deeper than this single press conference. Seems like there are some mighty easily offended folks.
Does Baylor team and coach act how i would like to see my team act in a press conference? No. Certainly not. But, damn, this seemed to rise to the level of getting personal really fast for a few.

Baylor’s Kim Mulkey dropped the ball on protecting game’s integrity
By Sally Jenkins
April 13, 2012
Of all the crackups by coaches this week, one was more disappointing than all the others, and it wasn’t Bobby Petrino going “Easy Rider” into a ditch after losing control of his gearshift. We’ve seen things like that before. For some reason, the more disheartening crash was that of Baylor women’s basketball Coach Kim Mulkey, embarrassed by NCAA sanctions fresh off her national championship.
Maybe that’s because women’s basketball is comparatively clean. You hate to see the standards lowered in a sport that still actually has some.
Just a week after winning a title, Mulkey accepted penalties for an assortment of recruiting violations, most prominently with her 6-foot-8 center Brittney Griner. Make no mistake: Baylor’s 40-0 season was less the result of improprieties than of Mulkey’s tireless work, strategic expertise and a vivid, charismatic personality that her players want to follow.
But that’s why the list of petty abuses she committed is so aggravating. Mulkey is positioned as the new standard bearer and bright coaching star of women’s basketball — a role she clearly wants, judging by her glittering outfits — but she just dipped the flag in the mud.
The women’s game is at an interesting juncture: Coaches and administrators are trying to figure out how to grow it in profitability without emulating the corruptions of the men’s game. They can legitimately argue that their audience is devoted — 4.2 million viewers watched Baylor beat Notre Dame for the title — precisely because the sport has a purer brand. Players are still real students who graduate at high rates; coaches are still real teachers as opposed to shysters; and the athletic scholarship is still meaningful, as opposed to a one-year inconvenience.
The question is how long it will stay that way. The answer is up to Mulkey.
That’s not a light or facetious statement. The answer really is up to her, personally. Because Mulkey is at the top of the game, every other coach in the country will now imitate her. All of her peers will treat the rules the way she treats them.
Here is how Mulkey treated them: According to the NCAA report, both the Baylor women’s and men’s coaches made hundreds of impermissible contacts with recruits through texts and phone calls. Mulkey claimed the calls and texts were not intentional but a failure to accurately keep her phone logs, a contention every coach in the country will laugh out loud at.
There is another situation in the NCAA report that illustrates how Mulkey treated the rules. She used her position as a parent to make improper contact with the Griner family when her daughter played with Griner on the same Texas AAU summer team, DFW Elite.
Mulkey’s defense is that she was in a difficult situation as a mother and a coach, and that’s a fact. But here are some other facts: In 2006, at around the same time she was cultivating the Griners at summer games, Mulkey hired DFW Elite’s Coach Damion McKinney to her staff. McKinney is the assistant who made many of the improper calls and texts detailed by the NCAA, more than 300 of them in 2011 to a current DFW Elite coach.
As noted by ESPN’s Mechelle Voepel, six players on Baylor’s championship roster come from DFW Elite. Including four of five starters, Griner, Odyssey Sims, Kimetria Hayden, and Jordan Madden.
Mulkey is hardly the first coach to cultivate an AAU recruiting pipeline, and by itself that’s not illegal under NCAA rules. But let’s be clear: The violations at Baylor were not simply unintentional bookkeeping errors, but rather part of an overaggressive pattern and loss of self-restraint. And it looks an awful lot like what goes on in the men’s game. Granted, these aren’t offenses on the level of slush funds, but Mulkey gained a competitive advantage. A very good coach, Gail Goestenkors, recently resigned from the University of Texas in part because she couldn’t make recruiting inroads in-state, and lost too many players to Baylor.
It should be no consolation to Mulkey that her penalties are light. In a way, that’s the worst part. The NCAA accepted Baylor’s self-imposed punishment: Mulkey was stripped of two scholarships and forbidden from recruiting off campus this July. Which will hardly dissuade other coaches from employing the same tactics. What are a couple of lost scholarships and a month off the road compared with 40-0 and a national championship banner, with another one likely next season? The conclusion is that it’s entirely worth it to cheat.
This not to say the women’s game didn’t already have some impurities. There are plenty of infractions and improprieties. But for the most part the water is still drinkable. It would be nice to keep it that way, and not watch it become another toxic dump.
There is reason to think Mulkey is hurt and discomfited by the sanctions. She cuts a proud figure. “I believe strongly in following NCAA rules and will always try to do so in the future,” she said in a statement through the school.
In every other respect she’s been a credit to the sport, winner of a championship and an Olympic gold medal as a player at Louisiana Tech, winner of two more banners as a coach in 2005 and 2012, a superb teacher of an unprecedented talent in Griner, and the leader of a second wave of coaches seeking to build on the huge successes and commercial foundations laid down by my friend Pat Summitt at Tennessee and Geno Auriemma at Connecticut.
Anyone who cares about the women’s game wants Mulkey to become everything she should be: not just the next possessor of multiple banners, but preserver of what integrity the game still has. That means embracing a certain reality: She has extra responsibility to do things the right way. If we eventually look over our shoulders and ask when the women’s game went down the slippery slope, we’ll look at this day, the day the reigning national champion went on probation, as the starting point.

Do you just call folks out? Are you some chicks bball expert? Are you in coaching? If not you should be....
I agree with some of your post but my god...

Why cant some folks just stay out of things..
Ya know? Why do people feel they need to get involved in a arguement and give their 2 cents?
You sure like to butt your nose in things, especially on HR.
"public ass kissing" party.? So the pre game pressers are nothing but that? Imagine the presser before Magic played against Bird in the championship. " We won't lose any sleep over him.(either one) Just another game." You call it ass kissing but that's what these pressers are for To have respect for the other team. and players Not disparagement. Even if you think you'll win easily. And I'm not trying to build a case against Mulkey. I saw her play on TV for LaTech when women's championships were in their infancy. And I thought it was great that Baylor and some others got strong enough to nudge UConn out of the sporlight.
Lol Funny stuff.
I realize this woman is completely irredeemable. Maybe if she would have done something less serious like scream at officials that they are cheating mother****ers, she could be forgiven. But unfortunately, she did something much, much worse.
Look at the bright side, win or lose, you can always be more moral and virtuous than this evil coach and her evil university... because... because ....of things you write on a sports message board in your righteous outrage. That should make you feel better at least.
Many of you take this fan thing way, way, way too far.
Grow up.[/QUOTE]
As has been stated multiple times in this thread, her body of work speaks for itself. If you have followed Mulkey at all you would know this is her MO. My dislike for her goes back quite awhile.
I think sick human being and bad person stuff is overblown. I don't know that about her. But she is a jerk. She knows she's being a jerk and doing it anyway. So I feel comfortable saying that.
Uninformed? It's not hard to catch up on Kim Mulkey's MO.
Or, what's going on at Baylor right now...
If anyone has a cell phone, social media...they pretty much should be informed about everything...BUT, some are just closed minded..
IIRC, one of the announcers said that Mulkey claimed that she hadn't even heard of or know about Megan before this season.

In her defense(which I don't want to do), i think she said something like 'Before this year, I hadn't heard of her'. or something like that. I still think the woman is evil, but just wanted to mention this.
Yeah, she knew who she was. She intentionally went out of her way to put down Megan, a humble, wonderful person, and a perfect role model.
Was that before or after she openly praised the rape culture and encouraged everyone to physically assault anyone who talks about being sexually assaulted at Baylor?
Definitely not my kind of person, but seems like a female version of her male counterparts at some of the most successful BB programs. I would just like to see someone give her a shove when she is kneeling in he extra high heels
This. This 100%. The woman is scum.
Baylor University, a private Baptist school located in Waco, Texas, has a "Statement on Human Sexuality" in its student handbook. Located under the label "Sexual Misconduct," it says that "Christian churches across the ages and around the world have affirmed purity in singleness and fidelity in marriage between a man and a woman as the biblical norm. Temptations to deviate from this norm include both heterosexual sex outside of marriage and homosexual behavior. It is thus expected that Baylor students will not participate in advocacy groups which promote understandings of sexuality that are contrary to biblical teaching."
The University also encourages students "struggling with these issues" to consult either the Spiritual Life Office or the Baylor University Counseling.
