Former Baylor coach makes it clear she has nothing to say about Britney Griner.

No comment.

[blm]

1. It's likely they've been advised to not comment on

the case, at all.

Back in the 80s there was a POW situation during the first Gulf War, and the family and people around him were advised to not make any public comment.

6. Okay, but so what?

What is she supposed to say?

I'm going to guess her primary competence is coaching basketball. Why the fuck should anyone give a shit what her dumb opinions about anything else might be?

10. I don't know much about geopolitics.

But if some kid I used to teach was being held hostage by some autocratic asshat eight thousand miles from home, "no comment" is probably the last thing I'd think to say.

11. If I was being held by a foreign power

Then I would hope some dumbass coach of mine for years ago just kept their mouth shut.

I don’t understand why people think increasing the “hostage value” of people in situations like this is helpful.

12. I don't know that decreasing their value is particularly helpful, either.

It's not like the dictator is going to be like, "Oh, this hostage isn't worth much. Guess I'll let them go."

9. he's right about her being a piece of shit

she also gave a full throated defense of the Baylor football players sexually assaulting female students.

Fortunately for her, none of the women were her players. Just guessing she would have reacted differently

2. I'd imagine it went something like this

LSU (her current employer): we know you may get asked about Griner by the media as you used to be a Baylor coach, but we'd prefer you don't, at least not in a professional capacity, wearing our colors in front of our logo. You don't work there anymore, so ...

This coach: Makes sense, sure, okay.

4. Apparently they have a past over Griner's sexuality

And haven't spoken for a decade. Seems kind of like a gotcha question to me.
But it also seems like Mulkey is trash.

5. She's MAGA and pro-Russia?

Just taking a guess.

7. It would seem we are all benefitting by her saying

NOTHING.

[Iggo]

8. Thanks for nothing, Coach.

Seriously.

13. Griner bought her 2 National Championships and a fat raise

And she can't give a least a cursory statement about her situation? Mulkey is a very odious person though. She once kept calling a black Louisville player "that girl" and had to be reminded that the 'girl' has a name. She also famouly tore off her covid mask at a press conference. She is a definitely a MAGA.
