Kim Mulkey Reveals Why She Left Baylor for LSU

Kim Mulkey established herself as one of college basketball's preeminent coaches over the last two decades, winning three national titles in two decades at Baylor. But entering 2021-22, Mulkey is looking to win a championship with a new program.

LSU hired Mulkey as its head coach in April, ending her 21-year run in Waco. She will look to bring LSU to its first Final Four since 2008 this season, and another championship for Mulkey would mark the first in Lady Tigers history.

So why exactly did Mulkey leave Baylor for LSU. She detailed her decision with Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger on Wednesday.
