Some get criticized on here for being critical of cnc before she has coached 1 game at Baylor. The real dumba$$es are the ones who criticize Kim's record at Baylor. 3 nc's, 11 straight big 12 titles and 12 straight sweet 16's. Imagine the idiots that think anyone can do better than that?
Geno Auriemma & Pat Summitt say hello.
This strikes me as misguided rebuttal. Yes, as a direct answer to the question, sure, those two fit the bill. But do you not see that it also just drives the point of the question home?
With all the odd Mulkey bashing that's gone on around here of late, it's more than fair to push back by citing her accomplishments. When you suggest that the original bashing was warranted after all on the basis that she doesn't measure up to the 2 most legendary coaches in the history of the game, that's just a concession that she belongs in the elite stratosphere of coaches.
You wouldn't go around saying that Tchaikovsky was a dime-a-dozen composer because Beethoven also lived, would you?
(Don't anyone try to put words in my mouth about Coach Collen. I'm an independent party when it comes to predicting how she'll turn out, while hoping for the best. Some don't seem to grasp that you can support her without tearing Coach Mulkey down at the same time.)
