Is Kim Mulkey waging war on Angel Reese?
Angel Reese has now missed four games since being inexplicably benched against Kent State, and coach Kim Mulkey has been asked tons of questions about her star player.
The coach has not expressly given a reason why the star is absent, instead allowing for rabid speculation that seems to be doing more damage than good to the star's reputation.
Some CBB fans have taken umbrage with this stance, accusing Mulkey of making a game out of the situation and of waging a silent war against Reese.
When the season began, the Tigers lost to the Colorado Buffaloes, and Mulkey was livid in her postgame news conference
After LSU beat Texas Southern, Mulkey gave a more expansive answer, which, in a roundabout way, seemed to refer to a disciplinary issue with Reese but did not give a reason for her absence.
"You always have to deal with locker room issues," Mulkey told the media. "That's just part of coaching. That's what coaches do. Sometimes, y'all know about them, and sometimes you don't, and sometimes you want to know more than you're entitled to know.
Her latest answer after the win 99-65 against Niagara was vague again.
"You will know when she comes back," coach Kim Mulkey said. "Obviously she's not with us."
Some CBB fans have not taken Kim Mulkey's side in this situation with Angel Reese and have even brought up old files, with some accusing her of being racist.
An interview in July when Reese rubbished speculation about her coach being racist was also brought up.
