I like how all logic and rationale thought is ignored when fans try to fit the narrative they want to promote.
#1 Mulkey is the second best coach in the game with 4 titles across 22 years and at two separate programs.
#2 While many want to bemoan Kim’s OOC the fact is this scheduling prepares her team for deep runs in the NCAAT more often than not. And that is the WHOLE POINT.
#3 This years team has a lot of new players to acclimate to the staff and each other so playing the JV squads to get a flavor of who they are is logical.
#4 I get she is polarizing and is not everyone’s cup of tea. But to say she’s 6th or lower in the SEC this year is silly. Dawn and Vic are returning strong teams but while I agree OK has talent Jennie B needs to prove she can win a big game and win with a target on her back. KY? Ole Miss? TN? Come on! KY has a lack of talent beyond Strack,Ole Miss is sorely lacking in the actually X’s and O’s of the game. TN has a gimmick that did not work against the elite teams so until she makes an Elite 8 I am suspect.
And even are resident Blue Devil fanatic would agree Kim is a significantly better coach than Kara. With any good luck, Kara could have HALF the career Kim has had. Win 2 NCAAT.
