Good to see Coach Rhule is seeing coaching qualities in Coach Mulkey. She is a warrior for her players, her goals, and her university. Coach Mulkey leaves nothing to question about her leadership and passion to win. Her goal each year is win a National Championship and she tells everyone around her that will be their goal too. When you watch her coach along the sideline, Coach Mulkey is always fighting for her team and its that passion that her team uses to rise to the top. Lastly I hope Coach Rhule notices how Coach Mulkey represents Baylor. She doesn't talk about coaching in the WNBA. No, Coach Mulkey will celebrate their 3rd National Championship by getting ready to coach her team back to the top next AT BAYLOR. As for Baylor coaches supporting each other, I'm guessing they have to do that because our BOR has clearly not shown support for them when winning gets too much of a university focus.

Matt Rhule has been seen in attendance at several Baylor sporting events since taking the head coaching job of the football program.
“It’s a lesson for all coaches,” Rhule said about his colleague Mulkey. “She never lets up. It’s not about whether they win or lose. It’s about the game itself and the basketball itself and she wants it played at a certain level.”
Rhule said he noticed Mulkey’s inspirational coaching ability sitting behind the bench at Texas, noting “she coaches hard and she coaches that way all the time.”
Rhule said that he has a “tremendous amount of respect” for Kim Mulkey and loves the way the Lady Bears play. He said that he loves the way the team supports each other, similar to how he felt about the men’s team this year. Under difficult circumstances with injuries, the team still managed to stay together as a unit and support each other every step of the way.
“It is done, culturally, at a high level from the top down,” Rhule said about the men’s and women’s basketball teams.
Rhule said he especially loves the coaching culture at Baylor, as he said he would receive texts from Mulkey when the football team was 0-5 to “get it going” and praises from both Coach Scott Drew and Mulkey after big wins this past season.
“That’s one of the cool things about working at Baylor,” Rhule said. “All the coaches support each other.”
Rhule said he is excited for Sunday and believes the Lady Bears “will play great.”
The Lady Bears face off in the National Championship game on Sunday against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at 5 p.m. CT. The game will be televised live on ESPN.
