The mystery around Kateri Poole’s sudden exit from LSU is still unsolved. However, the controversies and rumors surrounding the incident are still creating quite a buzz among fans.
While some believe this LSU development was necessary, others lashed out at Kim Mulkey, accusing her of blatant disrespect towards Kateri Poole.
A lot of theories have been revolving around ever since Poole parted ways with LSU.
Anyhow, Mulkey’s statements did provide a slight idea of what really went down.
The fact that Kateri Poole was no longer a part of the Lady Tigers came as a shock to many.
After her unavailability for the game against Kent State was cited as the “coach’s decision,” Mulkey made this revelation after LSU’s fixture against LSU against Texas Southern.
After securing a win over Louisiana, Mulkey said in a press conference, “(Poole’s) no longer with us.”
However, this statement was not enough for anyone to determine why Poole had to leave after being an essential part of LSU’s national championship-winning team.

Mulkey provided Poole a chance to feature in her starting line-up the previous season.
She played a vital hand in LSU’s Round of 32 win over Michigan. In addition to this, she also buried 7 of 12 beyond-the-arc attempts in the game that followed.
Moreover, she has been a stellar figure in LSU’s defense and took part in 35 games.
