NCAAW Baylor/Oregon State: Kim Mulkey behavior

Nothing new here: the only reason I know who she is is because she can't keep her coat on.

Eh, Mulkey got what she deserved. She was on Kyle Bacon beginning with his foul call at 5:53 in the 1st period. At 3:01 (still in the 1st), she's shouting across the floor to Lisa Mattingly about what she says was a no call on a hold.

Admittedly, a holding call against Oregon State was missed by the crew on a loose ball at 2:04 (yes, still 1st period). The ball goes OOB near Baylor's bench and Bacon (now the new T) gives it back to Oregon State. Mulkey's losing her mind (at least, what's left of it) and Carla Fountain comes from the baseline and clearly gives Mulkey a warning.

Her shenanigans continued in the 2nd period: the jacket toss, her wave-off of Bacon after his illegal screen call with 6.3 seconds remaining, and her other wave-off of him as she walked off the court at the end of the first half. Frankly, I'm surprised it took them as long as it did to ring her. Like others have said ... this is just Kim Mulkey getting away with what Kim Mulkey gets away with nearly every game.

I'd encourage her to take her coat off anytime she wanted.

I work NCAA as well and 101% of the time, whenever a technical foul is assessed to a head coach, the last thing you want to do is be by them or address them any further because they will have absolutely nothing objective to state to you at all, and NOTHING GOOD can come from it. . .

I do find it an irony where coaches want to talk after being hit with a T, but when I do it and report and they want to talk to me about it, I don't tell them "NO" and shut them down, I just tell them "NOT RIGHT NOW", and go away because again -- nothing good can happen from it. . .

The main thing you want to do after giving a technical foul (which is like any other call when its warranted), is to just resume play and move on. . .

The beauty of putting the ball in play is that coaches will get back to coaching and the game can move on

Totally agree with Rich's assessment he posted.
