Message: [QUOTE="skilz, post: 2562515, member: 7222"] I frequent several boards as well, as I'm a past player of WBB and have a strong love for the sport. I travel to many games for several schools. I am a fan of several teams, for different reasons. I enjoy the Boneyard Forum more than any other, however, when some people stoop to a lower level to call out coaches, it drives me away. I follow Baylor because of Kim Mulkey. Kim was a great player and is a great coach/person. I was at the Baylor game for Kim's 500th win, which is the game that she made her "dumb comments" per you. Were you there? I saw a coach that was very emotional - she had just won a big game, her team who LOVED her had just presented her with a gift, and a school that LOVES her just presented her with a gift. She was very tired of the constant media backlash of the school (which I don't blame her as all of the staff that created the problems were gone), was very emotional of the current situation, and made an "analogy" of a situation. If you knew Kim, you'd know that she would NEVER tell someone to use violence. Kim was standing up for her school as she is a very loyal person (to fault). She didn't stand there and tell everyone to go around punching people in the face, as the media wants you to believe. What she meant by the whole speech was to make sure everyone knew that Baylor was still a great school and that if we heard others talking bad about the school, to let them know why the school was "not bad." The words Kim used gave the media an opportunity to go after her and make this something it wasn't. I'll never understand how some people can complain about the media, but on the other hand believe everything they say, especially if it's about someone they don't like. Coaches and players put in tons of time and effort to give us a great game to watch, and I'm always appreciative for the passionate ones. Life in the spot light is not easy. Too bad some can't see it just for a minute, as their whole perspective would be different of several teams, coaches, and players. [/QUOTE]
