Very true - but Kim seems to have a large ego and has been the top bear in Waco for a while. I just think the MBB win may lead her to consider a move.

This seems like a courtesy interview to me - just my opinion. Hardin and JP are good friends, so gives Billy an interview as a courtesy. I feel like Drake was going to hire a female coach all along. Pohlman was my guess when Jennie left.
According to the LSU message board (definitely not "official"), her mother lives either with her or nearby in Texas. I will post a link to the board. This pretty much sums it up....."Does anybody see the irony that this thread has more activity than any women's basketball game thread in the last 15 years"?
Kim Mulkey is coming home! Maybe

Mulkey may just like the move to LA. But, there is always more money to be multced.
I also have my doubts she leaves. Why leave a top tier program to try to rebuild one even if it is in your home state. She likes to win and has the players now at BU so why risk it for what?
Big news from Syracuse. They now lead D1 schools with 12 players transferring out of the program (close to the entire team) with the latest one pretty impactful. I'm wondering how Coach Q sleeps these days.

While we have been focusing on what's happening to Drake WBB so much these days, UNI also has some positive news.
Some eye-catching stats from the press release:
The Panthers finished the year with a 17-13 record, including an 11-7 MVC mark. It is the 13th consecutive season with a .500 record or better in Valley play, it was the 12th year in a row finishing in the top half of the MVC standings and it was the 12th year in a row that UNI earned at least 17 wins.
The Panthers have advanced to the postseason 10 of the last 11 seasons (excluding the COVID-shortened 2019-20 season.)
Warren is the winningest coach in program history with 260 career wins. She also has 161 MVC wins in her 14 seasons at the helm. She was the Valley coach of the year in 2010-11, 2013-14 and 2015-16.

"We’re in a good place and we’re not in a panic mode,” Hillsman said. “What’s happening right now is this portal across the country is becoming this thing where if you have nobody in the portal, then your program’s fantastic. If you got people in the portal, then you’re in trouble. We’re not in that state.”
"I have no issues with that,” Hillsman said. “Those are the rules. They can choose to go where they want to go. I think a lot of it is schools who’ve recruited you from the beginning so they’re familiar with some of these schools as well, just like some of the players that we’re bringing in, probably 90% of them we’re familiar with them from the previous recruiting process. I view it as a compliment.”
Interesting view about the transfer portal. So glad that isn't ISU...

That same Twitter account is saying Mulkey will be introduced as the new LSU wbb coach on Monday.
if accurate!
Yeah. To me this screams out "I've accepted the job but need to wait until it's officially announced."
Now the fun begins, will she go? If so how many current players follow? Who will the hire to replace a legend? Gee, any ideas and what are people saying in Waco? If she leaves next year will be a toss up as to who wins the reg season title.
She definitely has gone. If she doesn’t want it, she would have said that she is not going anywhere.
The transfer portal is about to expand. Can the announced transfers to Baylor, change their minds?
This will turn the league upside down and even further weaken it overall. Opens a door to us, of course, we don't have to rise a level, just beat what's left. And with the transfer portal being the Wild Wild West, Baylor is going to take a HUGE hit. Best a new coach will able to do is try to talk a player into returning and that would be assuming their AD can do a quick hire and even give a new coach that opportunity.
Baylor is likely to be middle of the pack since there are no true blueblood schools in WBB, just blueblood coaches. Baylor can rebuild with the right coach but it's not just insert a new coach and sustain like at some of the blood blood football schools especially with transfers being the big impact they are today. You don't have to look further than Tennessee or Texas Tech to see what happens after a blueblood coaches reign ends.
