Kim Mulkey went crazy in an effort to go after the match official in the LSU Tigers’ match against the Kentucky team which resulted in the former losing by a massive 15-point margin in an effort which was deemed unfair by Kim Mulkey as she felt that the officials weren’t calling enough fouls on the other team. Late in the game when one of her players scored a 3-pointer, Mulley went haywire and went after the referee for not calling fouls on the other team, and not very surprisingly a technical foul was called on her for going after a match official.

Brawls and arguments have always been a common phenomenon in college basketball but now the trend has seeped into the coaches.

Kim Mulkey is an example of what coaches shouldn’t do in matches where players look up to them as motivation, and seeing their head coaches behave in such a way with a match official isn’t something anyone would want. Mulkey who just assumed the duties of being LSU’s head coach this season seemingly wanted to go all in on her performances as a coach and didn’t really want bad results, which got in her head and she went after the official, for whatever her reasons may have been.

Let us take a closer look at this sequence where LSU’s head coach Kim Mulkey went after match official in a peculiar dramatic fashion.

The matches are getting bigger and so are the upsets as some of them seem to be getting in the head of not only the players, but also the head coaches as it was evident from this display of unleashed fury by LSU’s head coach on a match official for supposedly not calling enough fouls on the opposition team which defeated them by a massive 15-point margin in the Head Coach’s very first season with that specific name tag.

The Tigers team being headed by Mulkey was behind with a 12-point deficit which is when her player shot a 3-pointer and she was so upset about the fact that a foul wasn’t called on the opposite team that she literally ran on the court fuming, and went after the match official in a peculiar/overdramatic fashion in order to show her disagreement with their decision of not giving enough fouls. Mulkey went over the top with her actions but was surprisingly only given a technical foul, which is something she should be happy about.

Kentucky’s team upset the LSU Tigers which is something that might have caused such reactions coming from their head coach but it should also be noted that the Tigers have more than doubled their last years’ win record as they were 9-13 last season and they now stand at 25-4, which is commendable and is a testimony to Mulkey’s leadership, also highlighting that such instances can be avoided.
