Breaking News: Kim Mulkey Resigns as LSU Women’s Basketball Head Coach
In an unexpected development, Kim Mulkey has resigned from her position as head coach of the Louisiana State University (LSU) women’s basketball team. Mulkey, who joined LSU in 2021, led the Tigers to their first national championship in 2023.
The reasons behind Mulkey’s departure remain undisclosed. Her tenure at LSU was marked by significant achievements, including the historic 2023 national title. Before her time at LSU, Mulkey spent over two decades at Baylor University, securing three national championships.
Mulkey’s career has not been without controversy. In March 2024, she threatened legal action against The Washington Post over an article she described as a “hit piece.” Additionally, she faced criticism for her comments regarding former player Brittney Griner’s detention in Russia, choosing not to publicly address the situation.
LSU has yet to announce an interim head coach or outline the process for selecting Mulkey’s successor. The university is expected to release an official statement soon.
