Legendary coach Kim Mulkey has once again etched her name in basketball history after transforming the LSU women’s basketball program into a powerhouse. After leading the Tigers to multiple championships and rewriting the school’s record books, Mulkey is now setting her sights on a new challenge — the WNBA.
Mulkey, who took over LSU in 2021, quickly turned the program around, delivering the university its first-ever national championship in 2023. Since then, the fiery coach has shattered records, including the most consecutive wins in a season and the highest winning percentage in LSU women’s basketball history.
With a coaching career already decorated with multiple NCAA titles and countless accolades, Mulkey’s impact on the sport is undeniable. Her relentless passion and no-nonsense coaching style have made her one of the most respected figures in basketball.
Sources close to Mulkey suggest the 61-year-old coach is seriously considering making the leap to the WNBA, potentially becoming the league’s next groundbreaking female coach.
“If there’s anyone who can command a locker room and turn a franchise around, it’s Kim Mulkey,” said a former player. “She’s built winners everywhere she’s been.”
While Mulkey has not officially confirmed her future plans, her recent comments about “wanting to conquer every level of the game” have only fueled speculation. If she joins the WNBA, Mulkey would bring a wealth of knowledge and a championship pedigree to the league, further breaking barriers for women in coaching.
As LSU fans celebrate the program’s golden era, the basketball world eagerly awaits what could be the next chapter in Kim Mulkey’s storied career — one that might redefine success on a whole new level.
