She was an amazing player. You can see how fierce her teams are because of this legendary coach. I love her marching stomp at the end when she took that charge. 🥰

I lived in Ruston, La. at the time and I watched that game LIVE! My daddy would holler through the house to me, “Kim Mulkey’s playing!” I would run to watch the game. That continued until the day he died in 10/2011. He’d holler, “Kim Mulkey’s team is playing!” And I would run to watch the game with him and Mama. He died just before Baylor won the Championship in 2012. Once he hollered, “Kim Mulkey’s team is playing! Brittany Griner might dunk it!” She DID dunk it in the Championship game and Kim, literally, turned and stomped her foot IN THE AIR! Hahaha! I kept rewinding it just to see her so that again and again. Mama and I watched for the next 9 years. I’ve had to watch them alone now, since 9/2020. I will watch until I die or she retires! She is just as feisty and smart today and she was then. She excels at EVERYTHING SHE DOES!

I believe this was back when the rules said you could only dribble with your hand on top of the ball. If your hand was on the side of the ball it was called a carry and you could be whistled by the ref. So if these clips look like the ball-handlers are less skilled than today's players that is a BIG REASON WHY.

True, but she got turnabout in the same game when she was called for a charge while on the break in the last ten seconds down 2. The defender was moving just like she was lol

Flashback 1979; there was a huge holiday tournament on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was finishing up roofing a house for my dad, I was 19 and on break from college (I was playing Junior College basketball). They were playing some of the games at different gyms in the area. They were playing some girl's games at my old high school (d'Iberville high school). d'Iberville high school was playing Hammond high school. We had a girl (Sandra Rushing) who was a great player and later signed with Alabama. The one thing that grabbed my attention was this little guard from Hammond that lit it up. I was so impressed with the way she played! I asked Tommy Hengen our girl's coach "Who was that little guard from Hammond" he told me her name was Kim Mulkey. I'm a UCONN fan. However, I loved the way she played, and I love her coaching style. She will have LSU in the Final Four!
