Message: [QUOTE="LETTERL, post: 4804394, member: 4687"] The very first WBB game I ever saw on TV was the 1982 NCAAT Championship game between Louisiana Tech and Cheyney St. Even back in those days, I remember being impressed with Mulkey, her on-court demeanor, her fire..and I liked what I saw. As an older adult, I do get tired of her histrionics on the sideline but do admire her for her straightforward way of speaking; she says what's on her mind, not trying to put lipstick on a pig, and, IMNSHO, we need more people like that, not just in WBB, but in all aspects of our lives. And as a coach? She is in elite company. She gets the most out of her players. I wouldn't trade Wes Moore for anyone and am so pleased with what he has been able to do at NC State...but if the coach couldn't be Wes Moore, I would want it to be Kim Mulkey. Just imagining her verbal battles with that coach in powder blue who must have been dropped on her head when she was a baby would be worth every cent of entertainment value. [/QUOTE]
