It's make sense why she's so fierce on the court as a coach.

The fact they was hooping in polos with numbers on them is crazy 😂

Ohhh I get it now. It’s an Energy thing for sure. She has the same Love for the game today like she did here. This made my heart smile. Great player. Awesome coach

The Rodman she dished it off to was indeed Dennis Rodman's sister, Debra Rodman who was a star for Louisiana Tech and ended up playing professionally for the Dallas Diamonds

She was amazing as a player, and today a great head coach.

It's like if Reese Witherspoon could hoop.

I lived in Ruston, La. at the time and I watched that game LIVE! My daddy would holler through the house to me, “Kim Mulkey’s playing!” I would run to watch the game. That continued until the day he died in 10/2011. He’d holler, “Kim Mulkey’s team is playing!” And I would run to watch the game with him and Mama. He died just before Baylor won the Championship in 2012. Once he hollered, “Kim Mulkey’s team is playing! Brittany Griner might dunk it!” She DID dunk it in the Championship game and Kim, literally, turned and stomped her foot IN THE AIR! Hahaha! I kept rewinding it just to see her so that again and again. Mama and I watched for the next 9 years. I’ve had to watch them alone now, since 9/2020. I will watch until I die or she retires! She is just as feisty and smart today and she was then. She excels at EVERYTHING SHE DOES!

She was an amazing player. You can see how fierce her teams are because of this legendary coach. I love her marching stomp at the end when she took that charge. 🥰

Who's here watching, after the LSU Championship WIN?!?!?! 🏀👏💜

She was a very smart player. Also, as you can see, officials still don't know the difference between a block and a charge.

She’s a little fireball for sure one of the more underrated figures in female sports

Bro she was made for basketball… coaching while playing 💪🏾✌🏽

Not taking away from any of the other players here but what a match up. Cheryl Miller vs Debra Rodman down low. Two astounding talents.

And now she brought LSU a National championship 🏀🏀

1981, 1982, and 1988 National Champions. Those Lady Techsters were a PROBLEM!!!

Calm and collected, floor general, ultra instinctive, understands pace, efficient, will take and make open shots. What a player.

These uniforms were iconic … legendary

Mulkey is a hooper. Also, Cynthia Cooper and Cheryl Miller on the same team is crazy lol.

Beautiful full circle moment for Kim ❤️ congratulations 🍾

She’s not fast, but she’s quick and very smart… 😂

I believe this was back when the rules said you could only dribble with your hand on top of the ball. If your hand was on the side of the ball it was called a carry and you could be whistled by the ref. So if these clips look like the ball-handlers are less skilled than today's players that is a BIG REASON WHY.

Kim may have been small but she was fearless, even though she and her team lost to USC in the championship game in '84 (I believe) she was not and had no fear guarding Cheryl Miller.

This so awesome, I didn’t know she is a Louisiana Legend

Coach Mulkey was ssssoooo cuuuute!!!! 😊

these are exceptional highlights!!!!! my favorite is the bounce pass to the wing. never seen that done before. amazing.

I heard a lot about Kim when I lived in Hammond. My uncles used to say she was a beast on the court.

She coach like she played! Pure Greatest!❤️

And now at age 60 has coached LSU to the 2023 National Championship.

I see why LSU WB play how they play...they've embodied their coaches style in ways, passionate,smart, intense... even after The charge call, she hits em with a line from Martin Lawrence and started stomping with the BIG 🐕🐕🐕🐕🐕!!!!!!

Mulkey's teammate Debra Rodman is Dennis Rodman's sister. From my old neighbor hood in Dallas ( Oak Cliff) , TX .

2:36 is the very definition of a blocking foul lol

Certified Louisiana legend

I remember back in the early 1980s being stationed in a country (the Netherlands) with very little English speaking television programming. The VCR was a new innovation, so we watched videos sent to us from family members in the US of American television sports and other programming. We got the videos about two weeks after they were recorded. I remember watching her play on one of the videos l received from home. I still have those videos today in 2023.

This lady was fantastic as a college basketball player also

True PG. Played with intensity just the way she coaches.

Flashback 1979; there was a huge holiday tournament on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was finishing up roofing a house for my dad, I was 19 and on break from college (I was playing Junior College basketball). They were playing some of the games at different gyms in the area. They were playing some girl's games at my old high school (d'Iberville high school). d'Iberville high school was playing Hammond high school. We had a girl (Sandra Rushing) who was a great player and later signed with Alabama. The one thing that grabbed my attention was this little guard from Hammond that lit it up. I was so impressed with the way she played! I asked Tommy Hengen our girl's coach "Who was that little guard from Hammond" he told me her name was Kim Mulkey. I'm a UCONN fan. However, I loved the way she played, and I love her coaching style. She will have LSU in the Final Four!

As a person who is also not that tall to play B-ball, this makes me happy to see. My favorite moment 2:33 She has that same energy then and now!

Wow 5 * 4" she had game!! very good player, now very good coach !! CONGRATS LSU and Coachs NATIONAL CHAMPIONS !!!! From Cecil, Pa

Serious star power on both these teams!

Frank Glieber on the call for CBS. One of the better play by play men in the business.

She played similar to her current starting PG Alexis Morris.

Coach Mulkey was nice!! 💯 Pure floor general and a bucket 🪣!!! She been a champion 🏆

This is awesome. Thanks

Just glad this classy lady is our head coach at LSU

2:09 This is literally one of the greatest passes you will ever see. She predicted the movement of her offense and beat past 3 defenders to deliver the ball. This is all done in a moments notice with no time to think. Girl has a brilliant mind. I don't know anything about her but I won't be surprised to learn she is still unstoppable at whatever she is doing in life.

I remember this game, but I was rooting for USC when Cynthia Cooper played for USC. First time I started watching women’s basketball and I have been watching women basketball since 1982. USC vs Louisiana Tech was a HUGE game. Love Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Why am I not surprised at all? She always been fiery 🔥 she played her heart out like she be coaching out there today

Wow USC had Cheryl Miller and Cynthia Cooper on the same team 👀🤩

She was remarkable. I watched La. Tech some back then. It was La. Tech, USC, and Old Dominion as the big three back then. Later, Tenn. took over for years.

Now I can see how Mulkey gets her tenacity as a coach…she looked very fierce as a player. I admire her as both and the way she molded my favorite women’s basketball player Britney Griner into a great competitor on the court.

That's AWESOME.... look at lil Kim Mulkey out there playin' ball. I love it!! 🎉🥳🎊

That's some hard core athleticism on display there now, boy.

I wore #20 in HS in Seattle because of HER…..the Original Floor General #MulkeyLSU🔥💯🙌🏿👏🏿

In one game, they show her taking the ball from USC frosh & future legend Cynthia Cooper. I love the excitement of the guard play in WBB.

Wow this is a great video thank you

Wow I didn't even know she played big-time ball or was nice like that back then 🏀👏

Who is here after the LSU title ?

Ok, is this some of the best point guard play ever!? I think so. She is like a general out there.

Saw Kim play at the Louisiana Sweet 16 her senior year. She dropped 60 in the state semi-final without a 3 pt line.

This just made me smile 😊

I know I'm dating myself but I loved that team. I think they won back to back. And Kim ran it I'm telling you. She was Lil Kim before Lil Kim! Def a little fireball who knew what she was doing out there!!

2:07 this super tuff oh my god 😂😂

She’s awesome 💪🏻

Great coach, great player, great great person!❤❤❤

Mann them jerseys are 🔥

This was so fun to watch as she was a little playmaker out there and I love how she was balling in the warmup jacket, but that's what they used to play in back then before all the girls started wearing the tank top jerseys.

LOL now i get it.... Low key one of the best to ever lace em up. My girl knows what it takes to be a champion

that was a kick....seemed to have quite a few fans and the guys wearing ties....thx for posting...

She's been great for her whole life!

Geaux, Coach Mulkey!

She was a great player n great coach

I remember seeing those Louisiana Tech unis when I was little and thought they were the coolest.

The little dish at 2:08 is pure Magic/Isiah! ... amazing player on a team that earned a *ton* of respect back in the day!

Reese Witherspoon plays basketball well.

Love the little Mulkey running around on the court. She was a beast :)

Love this!

Her court-side outfits sure beat the old LSU uniforms!

One of a kind! L. S. U.

She's awesome ❤

A winner through and through!

The left-handed hesi at 0:54 is smooooth

Kim went from an awesome player to a great coach. Congrads coach !!

Another championship in Louisiana 2023. Great job Coach Mulkey. Extra special thanks to Coach Mulkey for believing in Alexis Morris when no one did!!

Balling in warm ups Amazing!!😎🏀

Anyone who can play in a collared shirt, must be good! 😀

Man this woman was a beast

Awww she was soooo cuuute

Does anyone know if there is a full copy of the LA Tech vs Cheney State game anywhere to watch? I live about a mile from what is now known as Cheney University in Southeastern PA. I am also looking for any highlights from Immaculata's run in Women's basketball in the 70s before they crowned the women's champions in their own NCAA Tournament.

It’s crazy that they are hooping in short sleeve polos lol 😂😂😂

She was a sinister passer and SMART with a sick set-shot at 5'4 don't think that height would cut it today.

Nola was out there hustle and flowing 💪 flowing

I never knew little Kim Mulkey was a player and a very good player. Great video history. Thanks!

So you mean to tell me women's basketball was better in the 80s than it is today.

THAT CHARGE WAS REALLY A BLOCKING FOUL LOL

This is an extraordinary woman from every level of life -great H.S player/ Great College player and VALEDICTORIAN/ GREAT Olympian-Gold Medalist/ Great Mother/ and now a GREAT COACH. A rare person indeed!

Congratulations to Kim Mulkey for coming home to Louisiana and bringing home LSU'S 1st ever National Championship over Iowa 102-85 on April 2nd 2023! Like it you agree!🏀🏆

She looks like Reece Witherspoon. She could be her mom.

Congrats, coach!🎉

Wow wow wow. Awesome to watch. Wow

Unless you are a women's college basketball fan or fan of women sports in general chances are you've never heard of her. Just goes to show how much women have to do for recognition in this world. Imagine if this were a man with her resume.
