Kim Mulkey is a truly polarizing figure in the world of women’s college basketball. On one hand, she’s undeniably successful, with an impressive four NCAA championships under her belt, the most recent of which was in 2023. However, her outspoken nature and bold fashion choices often draw a lot of negative attention.
Despite the criticism, Mulkey remains unfazed by how she is perceived by fans and the media. This attitude seems to have rubbed off on her star player, Angel Reese. The LSU Lady Tigers head coach and Reese have a strong bond, and it’s clear that Reese has absorbed some of Mulkey’s resilience.

Keep that same energy.” It’s evident that Reese is not willing to tolerate unfair criticism based on her coach’s reputation.
