Kim Mulkey's way of doing things is meant to be loud and wrong, which is why it was quite revealing when she refused to show even the minimum level of support for Brittany Griner on Monday.
The old axiom, "If you have nothing nice to say, don't say anything," applies to Lord Palpatine of college basketball, whose basic tendency is to act maliciously.
The bar was on the floor when Lafayette Daily Advertiser reporter Corey Diaz asked Mulkey if he had any thoughts on Griner's arrest and sentencing in Russia, a topic on which Mulkey has yet to comment despite Griner's coach in college is of.
Mulki's silence says a lot. After pondering his thoughts for months, he still frowned on it and cracked his skull.

Between 2009 and 2013, Griner was instrumental in winning 135 of 150 games at Baylor, reaching two Final Fours and leading 40–0 on the way to the 2011 national title.
He showed as much sympathy for Griner as he did during the heyday of the COVID-19 pandemic when he criticized the masks.
