Game Thread: SEC Tournament First Round. #18/14 Lady Vols (9 seed) vs. Texas A&M (16 seed). Wed., March 5, 11 am ET, SECN

[Majors]

Double. Dip? From who? The universe? Are you implying she's being paid by UT to do both? BC thats the only way its a double dip. Many, many coaches broadcast while on buyouts.

I see your Harper Derangement Syndrome remains a bottomless pits.

If she’s getting paid by the University to not coach and it’s in installments plus she’s getting paid by ESPN. You call it what you want, I’m happy for her to capitalize. I’m a capitalist, not sure how you misinterpreted my stance on smiling and collecting. As you said the same thing with your many coach’s broadcast comment with buyouts.

God yes, why would I ever think you'd disparage her. I'm sure you meant double dip as a compliment.

I'm the opposite, I think Kim is pretty much all coach speak in pressers. Plays info very close to the vest. Gives away nothing

Those crossed arms! I believe she hates the pressers.

For sure. Trying to set a record for shortest and least informative. Part of the tough guy personna

It wasn’t an insult, especially with what she got to walk away. Below is for context since you chimed in out of rhythm.

Mush as this group downs Kellie who is no longer coaching this shows her class to interview kim.. and no one can take that from her, because most of you would not be able to do that if u gotnfored from your job and had to interact with your replacement, of if u beark up wit someone and u gotta be around the new mate

 

[Majors]

Coach could use a class on pressers too...she comes across as "curt" very often

Straight and to the point isn’t a bad thing.

Sorry, thats Mudcat level unreadable. And having income from two completely different sources still isn't double dipping

As I said, you call it whatever you want.

Not at all. Those pressers are dumb anyway.

neither is charm

I get the impression charm is not a thing w Kim. Likes the no nonsense tough cookie image

She’s a coach, not single looking to date.

Tay has many strengths, but post-game Q&As aren't among them.

Sometimes a picture is worth a thousand words.

She'll get better at interviews. Most freshmen do.

Also reflected in her game attire. Probably had to do w her pregnancy too, but keepng it basic and simple is so her. I kind of miss Kellies dresses though.

I mostly enjoy the pressers but some are too short. Sometimes she does her version of coach speak but in most of the longer pressers (over 5 minutes) she will say something that resonates as much more authentic than coach speak. There are many examples of this including saying she rather be in the locker room than at the presser, how she believes that you have to set up failures in practice for players to learn, the type of compliments that she gave Boyd, saying the SEC was more physical than realized and that she will make adjustment next year, and so forth That's why I listen. I do think she is no nonsense in a genuine way rather than trying to project a tough cookie image. That is why she also can be playful with her players in a way that you rarely see, even occasionally at pressers. As you can tell, I just enjoy her personality and think she is as real as it gets in the media these days. A fake smile or being nicey nice would spoil it!

We were talking today about how stylish Kellie was. Kim keeps it lowkey, which I also appreciate and understand. It is just different, and I always enjoyed seeing what Kellie wore that game.

There's a move away fm coach dress in general. Guys almost never wear suits any more. Mostly athletic wear. Not as fun, though there's always Kim Mulkey

She's from the Calvin Coolidge school of As to Qs.

Its not about that
As a coach
you work your players
you work your staff
you work the refs
you work the media
BC all of these w WILL ultimately have an impact on your future

Not looking for a date...a "date" is that little fruit that looks kinda like a prune

I think tough cookie is authentic for her. Maybe a little bit exaggerated right now as she establishes herself with the big girls for the first time. Genuine no nonsense is a good description. I just think she throws coachspeak in pressers to keep it short as possible and not give real info.

I'm fine w all that as long as she's humble and open to learning which she definitely is. I was also glad to hear her say she had misjudged the rigors of the season and would adjust. Got to get really good at reading that for her system to work. She's shown good willingness to adjusr

Very, very contagious! Would be a shame to give it to a student.

It would, I think, be extremely irresponsible to teach tomorrow and risk harming those innocent students now that we are now 100% certain brittannica has a very dangerous, extremely contagious virus. As difficult as it will be for brittannica to do, it would be the right thing to do to cancel class.

Oh, I'm with brittannica on enjoying her answers. I laughed out loud! But to the reporters looking for quotes to flesh out game stories she's a nightmare.

Not everybody subscribes to your preference of coaching on and off the court. Seems to be working for her.
