LSU women’s basketball coach Kim Mulkey was around long enough to see the No. 7 Tigers finish off Northwestern State on Sunday as she was ejected while the team was up 39 points.

Mulkey was upset about a charge called on Aneesah Morrow. The coach got into a tiff with referee Timothy Greene, and she was given two technical fouls and an ejection.

"He did the right thing," Mulkey said after the intense moment. "I think I helped him. I said, 'I’m not leaving you. You better toss me.’ He had no choice. I appreciate officials that know what you’re trying to do out there. I don’t appreciate bad calls, but that’s part of coaching."

Angel Reese was among the LSU personnel who had to hold Mulkey back. There were less than 5 minutes remaining in the game.
