Kim Mulkey smiled when asked about the double technical foul Sunday that led to her first ejection in three seasons as LSU's women's basketball coach.
"I've been tossed before," she said. "It was time."
With 4:56 left to play against Northwestern State, LSU forward Aneesah Morrow was called for a charging foul on a drive to the basket. Mulkey went ballistic over the call and quickly drew two technical fouls from referee Timothy Greene and had to leave the court.
"I think I helped him," Mulkey said. "I said, 'I'm not leaving, so you'd better toss me.'"
The game was not in doubt. Two free throws by the Lady Demons' Karmelah Dean only cut the LSU lead to 71-32. The No. 7-ranked Tigers went on to win 81-36 as lead assistant coach Bob Starkey took over in Mulkey's absence.
The call drew a cascade of boos from the PMAC crowd and cheers for Mulkey as she headed to the locker room, though not before All-American forward Angel Reese attempted to pull her off the court.
"I thought it was funny. Angel was pulling me back and said, 'Kramer, come help me!'" Mulkey said. The reference was to her son, former LSU baseball player Kramer Robertson, who was in attendance.
"It was fun," Reese said. "We know she has our back and we have her back."
