Kristy Wallace Injury

[Bama fan]

Ok, no worries, my therapist Bama and I are working through it...

After all, Charlie has Lucy! And while she was certainly worth 5 cents, I am just putting in my two cents worth.

Kim has all the sugary decorum of a madame in a bordello. Baylor loves her and what with what she probably has on the institution's power brokers she is and acts invulnerable. But she brings no credit to the game from where I'm sitting.

 

[UConnCat]

What did she do that no other coach would do? Did you ask Kim if she was referring to Boothe?

It was Kim who said she did what other coaches would never do. Only Kim knows what that was.

My interpretation of her comments, given the context, was that she was referring to Boothe. Regardless, she said she doesn't have to suspend or bench her players and then she did. It's just Kim being Kim.

I have to say that being a huge Western aficionado, I love that first sentence as it does sort of fit Kim. That said, she is a very accomplished coach who, from all indications runs a very clean and upstanding program. Yes, she has the chip on the shoulder and the woe is me card of “the world conspires against us” sometimes that is not becoming. Your last sentence is like some of her comments, out of bounds. She has done quite a lot for WCBB and for promoting the game. It’s ok that you don’t like her, I can respect that, but you also have tremendous skills of the internet and can do a bit of research on her charities and support she’s given. Don’t be blinded by irrationality as I view you as logical. There are plenty of phonies out there that I truly despise but I don’t think Kim is one of them.

She was talking about herself. Last year she disciplined severals players and in past have dismissed them. Notice coming into last year we were down a player. Justice ____ who now plays for UNT. Kim kicked her off the team. However, Kim did speak too soon on disciplining, noting that two games later she was disciplining. However, the comment about suspending is just a general statement. She doesn't have the issues with these girls that she has with others in the past.

I respect your opinion buddy. I've never liked her, but she really cemented my dislike for her when she went all in on "we are all right here" as part are of the University's phony "clean up" that an independent panel found to be 100% BS. There are a lot of bad people who support good causes.

So are you saying she's a bad person? Just asking for clarification.

 

[Centerstream]

Love how a thread on Wallace's injury has turned into a pro/con Kim Mulkey thread...

 

[DallasBUFan]

Since we are talking about Kim....Big 12 Coach of the Year for 2018 it's Official.

Naugh, or naw, you aren't just asking, you are asking for a fight I won't engage in. I do not like her public persona. I would not presume to know anything more. I do know that I really like her injured point guard's grit.

Was not asking for a fight. Just a question. I don't like coaches thats fine and I don't need to defend her as a Coach, but because her resume does that for her. It was a simple a question. If you make statements like you made then you have to expect questions to it.

There are coaches who have great resumes, but they are pukes. Mostly in the men's game. She's not my cup of tea and I do not think much of her player development or in game coaching skills, but that is a whole 'nuther discussion.

That made me LOL. VERY descriptive and accurate!!

I think it took a lot of "courage of ones convictions" to sit Rellah Boothe. Not saying that Kim is the only coach who would do it, but there aren't many. And while it certainly helps to not have to worry about being fired, for upper echelon coaches the downside of benching potential superstars is loss of a championship, not loss of a job.

I am so lost what does Rellah Boothe have to do to with Mulkey? Doesn't she play for Aston?

Hold on!.... Can't let you get away with using "potential superstar" and rellah Boothe in the same paragraph. Rellah is sitting because she can't play. there is no courage in that.

You are right. Brain fart on my part.

With good reason. I would say "my bad" but I know Geno hates the phrase.

I confess to confusing whom Rellah plays for (or more accurately doesn't play for) but I don't think she "can't" play. I agree that she hasn't showed much this year. I don't know why, but I don't think that lack of ability is the reason.

Mulkey lost her first grandchild a couple of months ago. I propose we go easy on her for awhile.

I thought she played pretty well against Baylor for somebody woefully out of shape who doesn't like to practice................

 

[ConnecticutBB]

Any word released from Baylor regarding Wallace's injury?

 

[JRRRJ]

Well, the only important thing is how is she.

But watching the video, it seems as if she slipped on a wet floor (someone's perspiration?). The foot just went out from her so quickly and usually sneakers offer some resistance.

To me, it looked as though she planted her foot to decelerate, but her leg was straight, so the knee joint took all of the impact. Then, she immediately pulled her foot up due to pain. I'd guess there's a torn tendon in there somewhere.
