Both legends have a strong hold on their respective teams. South Carolina and LSU are among the most competitive teams in college basketball.<\/p>\n<p>Mulkey is known for her directness in her game as well as in her speech. Her passion and intensity are second to none. But if there is someone who can match that, it\u2019s Staley. Staley is dedicated to the game of basketball and South Carolina. Whenever the two teams go head-to-head, it is always a contest to watch.<\/p>\n<p>In a recent interview, Kim Mulkey took a jab at Dawn Staley\u2019s South Carolina. Former South Carolina star MiLaysia Fulwiley joined LSU. Addressing how much she appreciates the new addition, Mulkey revealed what it means to have her with the Tigers.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s beaten me too many times for me not to have taken her into this team, this program,\u201d Mulkey chuckled and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DO_ZjNgjffK\/?img_index=2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">said<\/a>. \u201cI mean, she\u2019s just a big shot, big steal, spectacular move. I\u2019m gonna challenge her to learn the point guard position. But I\u2019m not gonna take away her ability to play the off guard either. So a lot of that will depend on how quickly she catches on to what we need her to do as a point guard. And a lot of that will depend on Jada\u2019s development.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of that\u2019ll depend on Divine\u2019s development. Those guys all handle the ball for us. But she\u2019s fitting in. Well, I mean, ballers wanna play with ballers, and she\u2019s gonna be fun to watch. I think the fans, they already know how good she is and all the spectacular things she does on the floor, and now the LSU fans get to cheer for her instead of booing her,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" style=\"background: #FFF; border: 0; border-radius: 3px; box-shadow: 0 0 1px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.5),0 1px 10px 0 rgba(0,0,0,0.15); margin: 1px; max-width: 540px; min-width: 326px; padding: 0; width: calc(100% - 2px);\" data-instgrm-captioned=\"\" data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DO_ZjNgjffK\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\">\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>MiLaysia had a bit of a falling out with Dawn Staley. She did not fit in Staley\u2019s plans, and Mulkey has made space for her at LSU.<\/p>\n<p>Fans React to Kim Mulkey\u2019s Words About MiLaysia Fulwiley<\/p>\n<p>Fans online agreed with Mulkey\u2019s assessment of MiLaysia Fulwiley and shared their reactions.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cShe\u2019s good, no doubt. But lacked discipline, so she took the route \u2018out.\u2019 At times, got lost on defense. Wish her the best, though,\u201d one fan commented.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a fan of Malaysia\u2026and I know she\u2019s gonna be great.. however, Dawn creates legends\u2026. Not just ballers,\u201d one fan commented.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p>\u201cThey not beating SC so it\u2019s all good\u201d, another fan claimed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlso tried to make HVL a point guard. I hope it works out better for Lay!\u201d another remembered.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCan\u2019t wait for South Carolina to get this W\u201d, another fan said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cY\u2019all disrespect Kim like she doesn\u2019t have ships?? Also no one is saying SC doesn\u2019t have ballers, Kim routinely gives them credit. But LSU has ballers too, and there\u2019s a reason why she didn\u2019t stay there. Dawn looked like she didn\u2019t know what to do with her half the time. And that\u2019s not a knock- just because you are a great coach doesn\u2019t mean you\u2019ll be a great coach for everyone,\u201d another fan explained MiLaysia Fulwiley\u2019s situation.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>College Sports Network has you covered with the latest news, analysis, insights, and trending stories in\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/football\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">football<\/a>,\u00a0<a class=\"c-link\" href=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\" data-stringify-link=\"https:\/\/collegefootballnetwork.com\/mens-college-basketball\/\" data-sk=\"tooltip_parent\">basketball<\/a>, and more!<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kim Mulkey and Dawn Staley are two of the most celebrated coaches in women\u2019s college basketball.
