BATON ROUGE – The clip quickly made the rounds on social media, going viral because the moment had it all.
Earlier this season, in LSU women's basketball's SEC matchup against Oklahoma, Kim Mulkey went ballistic over a technical foul called on LSU for a flopping violation on Aalyah Del Rosario. The game with the Sooners started out intense as LSU's Sa'Myah Smith and Oklahoma's Liz Scott were ejected for pushing each other in the first quarter.
When the technical foul was assessed, Mulkey briefly propped herself up against the scorer's table, turned back toward her bench shouting before she swatted a clipboard out of assistant coach, and LSU legend, Seimone Augustus' hands.

What Augustus did next is what made the clip go viral.
"A little shock as you expect," said Augustus of her initial reaction to Mulkey taking out her clipboard. "It was just like a moment. It happened so quickly. If you look, I look down then I looked up at Mulkey then I looked back down and I'm like, 'It's Mulkey.'
"If you know Mulkey, to know Mulkey is to love her. A lot of people, I think, really do misunderstand who she is as a person. She is an amazing person when you get a chance to be on the inside and get to know her.
Augustus' dead-pan reaction to the incident took social media by storm with many finding humor at the sequence.
And afterward, Augustus said that LSU staff has had their fun with the incident as well.
"(Mulkey is) very emotional. You could probably put a highlight reel together of just different fiery moments that she's had," Augustus said. "That incident was hilarious and funny but one that we kind of have fun with now."

Hopefully, all clipboards will be spared.
