New rules empowering players have coaches frustrated, contemplating the future of their professio...

The job of coaching in college sports has drastically changed. Switching schools is easier than ever via the transfer portal and the lure of better compensation deals can now be a factor for athletes looking to cash in on their celebrity. That has left many coaches frustrated and some even contemplating leaving the profession. Before the NCAA Tournament began last week, the portal opened up and the floodgate was open: Some 748 Division I men and 594 Division I women entered in just the first wee…

The Los Angeles Times has edited a column it published last week about the LSU women’s basketball team ahead of its game against UCLA following criticism from Tigers coach Kim Mulkey, who blasted it as sexist and hurtful. Mulkey defended her players after they were referred to as “villains” and “dirty debutantes” in a piece first published Friday that likened the Sweet 16 game between LSU and UCLA as a battle of good versus evil. The Times removed those references late Saturday as well as one co…

March Madness: Iowa, LSU ready for 2023 national championship remat...

Iowa and LSU would rather not be playing each other on Monday night. LSU coach Kim Mulkey says the Elite Eight game would have been better as a Final Four matchup. The storylines are plentiful. It’s not just a rematch, it’s last year’s champion against a No. 1 seed. And it’s two of the game’s biggest and most competitive stars in Angel Reese and Caitlin Clark going head to head again. The Tigers won 102-85 last year and have added transfers Aneesah Morrow and Hailey Van Lith to those back from t…

Reese said Sunday that…

Lisa Bluder is probably known best as Caitlin Clark’s coach. But while most credit for Iowa’s success over the past two years has been heaped on the program’s 6-foot superstar on the court, Clark and the other Hawkeyes players give credit to the 62-year-old mentor on the sideline. Bluder has been a head coach since 1983-84, all in the state of Iowa and the last 24 years at the University of Iowa. She’s racked up 882 wins and has coached the Hawkeyes to eight straight 20-win seasons. Said Clark o…

The year-long wild ride that has been LSU women’s basketball is over — for now. The defending national champion Tigers fell one game short of returning to the Final Four with a 94-87 loss to Iowa, almost a year after beating the Hawkeyes and star Caitlin Clark for the title. In between, coach Kim Mulkey and her players made headlines on and off the court and become symbols for a new, brash generation of college stars, none more so than star forward Angel Reese. Reese spoke through tears after th…
