LSU’s run in the NCAA tournament may have been cut short by Ohio State but the work first-year head coach Kim Mulkey did this season did not go unnoticed.
Mulkey was named the AP Coach of the Year for the third time in her career after leading LSU to the single biggest turnaround in SEC history.
Mulkey took over at team that was 9-13 in the 2020-2021 season and led them to a 26-6 record, a second place finish in the SEC, and No. 9 in the final AP poll of the regular season.
“One of my most enjoyable years ever in my career,” Mulkey said after LSU’s second round loss to Ohio State.
