CNN —The Washington Post on Saturday released an in-depth profile of Louisiana State University women’s basketball head coach Kim Mulkey, which paints the coach as a leader with single-minded determination whose behavior often leaves the basketball community, and her own players, divided. The Post’s story does not contain the type of bombshell revelations that many were expecting following Mulkey’s fiery tirade last Saturday ahead of LSU’s second round game in the NCAA women’s basketball tournament. Mulkey briefly spoke to tournament broadcaster ESPN as her LSU team was preparing to tip-off its Sweet 16 game, with Mulkey saying she’d just learned that the article had been published. 3 seeded LSU won its Sweet 16 game against No. Get some clicks or be a distraction,” Mulkey said after the game.

When Louisiana State University women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey strode from the court after yet another win last month, she peeled off her pink butterfly-bedazzled blazer. The move was more rock star than 60-year-old college coach, but it was in keeping with Ms. Mulkey’s razzle-dazzle. Ms. Mulkey, along with the University of South Carolina’s Dawn Staley, is leading the charge for a new wave of women’s college basketball coaches using fashion as a crucial part of their public image. Friday night, in the hotly anticipated Women’s Final Four, millions worldwide will be tuning in to watch the formidable face-offs of South Carolina vs. Iowa, and LSU vs. Virginia Tech. Many of them will also be paying close attention to what Ms. Staley and Ms. Mulkey, superstar, title-winning coaches who earn seven-figure salaries, are wearing.
