LSU head coach Kim Mulkey went on an irate rant in her Saturday press conference during the NCAA tournament amid rumors of a forthcoming story in The Washington Post.
Mulkey read from a strongly-worded prepared statement threatening legal action against the newspaper if it defames her — despite the fact that the public doesn’t know when, or even if, a story is on the way.
Yet the coach’s actions were enough to prompt a supportive post on social media from LSU’s Flau’jae Johnson. The guard didn’t even have to write any words to get her message across. All she needed as a simple photo.

Mulkey is no stranger to controversy, so comments like Saturday’s isn’t out of character. Yet it does feel noteworthy that she’s devoting time during an NCAA title defense to a rumored story.
Either way, Johnson has her back.
