"Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve has been suspended one game due to her "conduct and comments" during and after her team's loss to the Phoenix Mercury in Game 3 of their playoff series, the WNBA announced Saturday. Reeve will serve the suspension during Sunday's Game 4 in Phoenix. The Minnesota coach was ejected in the closing seconds of the fourth quarter of Game 3 after berating an official for not calling a foul on a play that left Lynx star Napheesa Collier injured."
""If this is what the league wants, OK, but I want to call for a change of leadership at the league level when it comes to officiating," Reeve said after the Lynx fell behind 2-1 in the series. "The officiating crew that we had tonight, for the leadership to deem those three people semifinal-playoff worthy, it's f---ing malpractice." Assistant coaches Eric Thibault and Rebekkah Brunson were also fined."
