Baylor head coach Kim Mulkey was selected to the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame on Saturday for the 2020 class.

Mulkey has three national championships as the Lady Bears head coach and remains the only person to win an NCAA national championship as a player, assistant coach and head coach.

Mulkey said that when she looks back at her journey towards reaching the pinnacle of basketball, she thinks of every player she has coached.

“It’s not just the kids who are All-Americans,” Mulkey said. “I can tell you so many wonderful stories about role-players and players who accepted me as their coach even when I might not have been a very good coach back then.
