Why does Kim Mulkey keep coaching? The LSU coach kicked around that question in an illuminating interview on Tuesday.

The outspoken LSU women’s basketball coach snapped at a student reporter on Sunday after the Tigers were eliminated in the Elite Eight of the women’s NCAA tournament. No. 1 UCLA held on to beat LSU 72-65 at Spokane Arena in Washington, which secured the Bruins' first ever trip to the Final Four.

Kim Mulkey has certainly established herself as one of the most polarizing coaches in college basketball. Regardless of what fans and critics say, though, no one can deny that she has transformed LSU into perennial NCAA Tournament contenders.
