Kim Mulkey revels in attention, but her rocky relationship with Brittney Griner has led to speculation of whether or not she will attend Griner’s upcoming jersey retirement at Baylor. Griner’s statement expresses gratitude to Baylor for honoring her and her return home to celebrate. Head coach Nicki Collen echoes Griner’s sentiment about honoring her jersey. Griner’s challenging relationship with the school, in part due to Mulkey, was evident in past comments from her and from others. Despite the friction, many believe Mulkey should put her differences aside and support the best player she’s ever coached.
