Kim Mulkey was in the middle of coaching an exhibition game between LSU and Langston University on Thursday night when she heard the latest shocking news to hit Baton Rouge—athletic director Scott Woodward had been fired.
The university announced Thursday night that Woodward was fired after six years in the role. Among Woodward’s signature moves in his tenure as athletic director was hiring Mulkey in 2021. Two years later, he signed Mulkey to a 10-year contract worth $32 million, making her the highest-paid women’s basketball coach in the country.
