Louisiana State scored a major women’s basketball coup on Sunday when it hired Kim Mulkey, who won three national championships in 21 years at Baylor, as its new coach.
Mulkey’s move is perhaps the most significant coaching change in women’s college basketball in recent years, and sends one of the country’s top coaches to one of the nation’s deepest leagues, the Southeastern Conference. The fiercely competitive SEC, long a standard-bearer in women’s basketball, sent seven teams to last season’s N.C.A.A. tournament and one, South Carolina, to the Final Four.
Kim Mulkey is Home.
The national champion and Hall of Famer has been named the head coach of the Fighting Tigers!
