SU Tigers head coach Kim Mulkey threatened legal action against The Washington Post and journalist Kent Babb on Saturday, claiming he and the publication have spent the past two years preparing a "hit piece" against her, which reached its climax this past week as she prepared to participate in the women's NCAA Tournament.
The lengths he has gone to try to put a hit piece together," Mulkey said of Babb, whom she did not mention by name. "After two years of trying to get me to sit with him for an interview, he contacts LSU on Tuesday as we were getting ready for the first-round game of this tournament with more than a dozen questions, demanding a response by Thursday, right before we're scheduled to tip off. Are you kidding me?

"This was a ridiculous deadline that LSU and I could not possibly meet, and the reporter knew it. It was just an attempt to prevent me from commenting and an attempt to distract us from this tournament. It ain't going to work, buddy."
Mulkey, 61, said she told Babb two years ago that he would never get to interview her because "I didn't appreciate the hit job he wrote on Brian Kelly," the LSU football head coach.
"I'm fed up, and I'm not going to let The Washington Post attack this university, this awesome team of young women I have, or me without a fight," Mulkey said. "I've hired the best defamation law firm in the country, and I will sue The Washington Post if they publish a false story about me. Not many people are in a position to hold these kinds of journalists accountable, but I am, and I'll do it."
Who is Kent Bobb?
Babb has been working for The Washington Post for 14 years and his features have been named best in the nation by The Associated Press Sports Editors on three occassions.
He has also written two books: "Across the River: Life, Death, and Football in an American City," and "Not A Game: The Incredible Rise and Unthinkable Fall of Allen Iverson."
