Nine times out of 10, when we see coaches on the sideline in any sport they keep cool, calm and collected at all times.
Sure, there’s the occasional outburst about a call that was missed or a call that was made. And maybe sometimes they’re upset with their players and that leads to a bit of animation on the sideline.
But we rarely see a moment from a coach like Kim Mulkey had on Friday night when LSU played Kentucky in the SEC Tournament.
Mulkey’s Tigers were down by 12 with about two minutes left to go in the game. She got so mad that a foul wasn’t called when LSU had the ball that she literally followed the ref down the court to berate him while the game was still in play.
LSU’s Kim Mulkey just went full blown rage on that official.

Nah. Mulkey was ready to get busy with the entire officiating crew. She wasn’t playing games with them.
Mulkey did get a technical foul for this, obviously. It’s pretty surprising she wasn’t actually ejected from the game, though, considering the outburst and that she was on the court away from her bench while the game was still in play.
I guess it wouldn’t have mattered at that point — things were already in hand. But still, this was wild. Mulkey was really down for the scrap.
Fans were surprised by Mulkey’s wild reaction.
