Bolch doesn't cover women's sports. He only got this assignment because USC was also in the tournament and the writer that normally is the Times women's beat writer, Thuc Nhi Nguyen, is covering the Trojan team.
Had Bolch said something similar about the men's LSU team, nobody would have made an issue out of it. In fact, LSU might have enjoyed being the villain, just like the old Detroit Piston "Bad Boys" reveled in that role.
The only thing you can blame Bolch for is bad timing. The Washington Post article about Mulkey being published at the same time let LSU claim the "victim" role and they are really selling it.
