SACRAMENTO — LSU coach Kim Mulkey fiercely denied that she was considering retirement after her team lost to Duke in the Sweet 16.
“I’m not retiring. Do I look that bad?” the veteran coach told reporters on Friday. “I don’t know where that came from. I’m only 63. And I’m healthy, with a few stents in my heart. Doctor says I’m good to go… As we get older, as coaches, they want to say, How much longer is she going to be in the game? I’m going to be in this game unless LSU fires me, O.K., until I can’t put a product on that floor that’s competitive, or my health fails me.”
