houtiger Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Kim threatens the Wash. Post with a defamation suit if they state any lies about her. I'm guessing she also intends that statement as a "brush back pitch" against any former player or assistant coach, if she feels they tell lies about her that can be refuted. I think that threat covers them all. I would also imagine that many former players and assistants would come forward to defend Kim. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 LA Times did a hit on the LSU WBB program prior to our game against UCLA today. I don't have access to the whole article. Kim was angry about it after the game. https://www.latimes.com/sports/ucla/story/2024-03-29/ucla-lsu-america-sweethearts-versus-basketball-villains 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 31 Author Share Posted March 31 UCLA Coach: UCLA Coach Apologizes For Sharing Controversial Article On LSU MATT HLADIK UPDATED: 7 HOURS AGO ALBANY, NEW YORK - MARCH 30: Head coach Cori Close of the UCLA Bruins reacts in a game against the LSU Tigers during the first half in the Sweet 16 round of the NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament at MVP Arena on March 30, 2024 in Albany, New York. (Photo by Sarah Stier/Getty Images) Sarah Stier/Getty Images UCLA head women's basketball coach Cori Close has apologized, claiming she didn't read the Los Angeles Times' controversial article on today's LSU-UCLA game before sharing it on social media. The column in question, written by Ben Bolch, has been widely criticized for referring to LSU's women's team as, among other things, "villains" and "dirty debutantes." "I reposted that article only after reading the headline, not the contents of the column," Close admitted in a statement Saturday night, hours after her second-seeded Bruins lost to the third-seeded Tigers in the Sweet 16. "In an effort to increase coverage for our game, I shared it and went back to try to stay focused on my task at hand." Bolch was called out for his piece, which some accused of being "problematic" or racist and many, including LSU head coach Kim Mulkey, deemed sexist. "You can criticize coaches all you want," Mulkey said. "That's our business. You can come at us and say you're the worst coach in America. I hate you, I hate everything about you. We expect that. It comes with the territory. "But the one thing I'm not going to let you do, I'm not going to let you attack young people, and there were some things in this commentary that you should be offended by as women. It was so sexist. It was good versus evil in that game today. Evil? Called us dirty debutantes? Are you kidding me? "I'm not going to let you talk about 18- to 21-year-old kids in that tone." Close targeted a portion of her apology to Mulkey and her players directly. "I would never want to promote anything that tears down a group of people in our great game," Close said. "I apologize to Kim Mulkey and the entire LSU women's basketball program." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
