Kim Mulkey-Robertson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kim Mulkey (born May 17, 1962 in Tickfaw, Louisiana, United States) is the head women's basketball coach at Baylor University.

Kim Mulkey was one of the first girls in the USA to play organized baseball with boys. She led her Hammond High School basketball team to four consecutive state championships. As HHS valedictorian, she posted a perfect 4.0 GPA.

The 5'4" (1.63 m) Mulkey was an All-American point guard at Louisiana Tech University, winning two national championships as a player—the AIAW title in 1981 and the inaugural NCAA title in 1982—and in 1984 was the inaugural winner of the women's version of the Frances Pomeroy Naismith Award, given to the nation's top college senior under 5'6"/1.68 m (the height limit was later raised to 5'8"/1.73 m). She was also a member of the gold medal-winning U.S. team at the 1984 Summer Olympics. She became an assistant at Tech in 1985 and was promoted to associate head coach in 1996.

In 2000, Mulkey took over a Baylor program that had finished the 1999-2000 season 7-20 and last in the Big 12 Conference. In her first season at Baylor, she turned the Lady Bears program around, leading the team to its first NCAA tournament bid. The Lady Bears have now (as of 2005) put together five consecutive 20-win seasons and the only four NCAA tournament appearances in the program's history. The rise of the Baylor program under Mulkey was capped off in 2005 with a national title. This made her the first woman to have won NCAA Division I basketball titles as a player and a head coach, and only the third person (after Bob Knight and Dean Smith).

Since the inception of the NCAA women's tournament in 1982, Mulkey has been involved in that tournament as a player or coach every year except 1985 and 2003. She was enshrined in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000 for her accomplishments as a player.
