Media does not even pay attention to women’s basketball.

Cheryl Reeves goes batty at the end of the WNBA game tonight where the Lynx lost to the Mercury. Ejected. Swearing and carrying on the like a sore loser in the press conference. Embarrassing for Minnesota. Let's be honest, the UCONN player, Collier is the reason that team wins. It's not the coaching and definitely not Reeves. Big bag of potato chips.

You don't win without the superstars, I'll give you that, but you also don't win without excellent coaching. Reeve is and has been the greatest coach in WNBA history.

Don’t know how closely you follow the Lynx but I completely disagree with your post. CR is a superior coach who routinely gets more out of her team and does it with class athletes. Most of the top coaches in the W have been repeatedly complaining about how the quality of officiating in the W has not kept up with the talent level of the athletes. Collier plays 35-36 minutes last night n has 5 fouls n shoots 0 FT’s- BS. CR was standing up for her team and her star player in a play where she sustained an injury that the ref determined was a no call- ridiculous ! I’m proud to have the best coach in the league in Minnesota which rarely is the case.
Go Lynx !!
 

Cheryl Reeves is a middle of the road HC. She didn't pick Caitlyn Clark on the USA team, which shows how stupid she is. It's the players that make the difference in the WNBA - if you can keep some of their ego's in check and play team ball. Plus, she looks like the bag lady at Walmart.

All I will say is you do not win the most games as a head coach, be a 4x WNBA Champion and Coach of the Year, and have the most finals appearances by being a “middle of the road” head coach. You don’t have to like Cheryl Reeve and every decision she makes, lord knows I don’t agree with every choice she’d made, but middle of the road coach and Cheryl Reeve are not the same.

Doubling down on your ignorance. Name me another coach with 4 championships and her other accomplishments who is not considered a great coach. Your last sentence says it all as you have to resort to personal appearance attacks to make your point. Do you judge male coaches based on what they wear ?

Reeve is a future WNBA first ballot HOF Head Coach AND General Manager. The reactionary takes on here never disappoint and the comment on her appearance tells us all we need to know about that poster.

Just imagine what else she would've accomplished if Maya Moore hadn't retired in her prime.

It's the Olympic Selection Committee that selects Team USA. Why you and other Caitlin only fans can't get that thru your head, I don't know. Insulting Cheryl's appearance is juvenile and pathetic.
 




Thanks to the horrible officiating which is nothing new Cheryl Reeve has been suspended for the next game. Collier will also miss the next game due to an ankle injury.
I would be all for of firing of the commissioner Cathy M. Englebert ASAP! The WNBA runs their organization like it's Nascar where fights bring in viewers.
I'm not a Lynx fan but I like the fact the coach sticks up for her players. Coaches can only take so much.

If she doesn't say anything, who will?
 


Becky Hammon and Stephanie White has spoke out several times and also fined. I get the feeling the top jerks thinks it funny or cute. The WNBA is getting very hard to watch.
Commissioner Englebert should have been fired last season when she wore a NY skyline dress to the finals. She appears to be tone deaf and is not the leader to move the W forward.

Your ignorance (or maybe you're just a misogynist) earned you the ignore button.

I don't get why some are so hung up on this. Rookies don't usually make the Olympic team, and why would you want them to? In such high competition environments, you really want to send your best and most tested athletes, and someone in their first year of professional basketball is unfortunately not that. Clark will have many more opportunities to play in the Olympics and dominate, including almost certainly in 2028.

And besides, I believe it's actually a committee of people choosing who makes the team and not just the head coach.

Plus, Clark had played almost non-stop since October, 2023. She was starting to wear down.

She played her best basketball of the season after the Olympics. She needed that break.

Reeves was suspended for overreacting and losing control because of the officiating. That’s on her, not the officials.
 


I’m not defending the poor officiating in the WNBA. And the missed called where Collier was injured was egregious. But Reeves lost control by running onto the floor to confront an official, and that’s on her.

There was no missed call. Collier got the ball stolen cleanly from her. It was unfortunate that Collier sprained her ankle on the play. But Cheryl Reeves then went on an embarrassing rant on the court and then in the press conference after. What a poor role model for all parents and young kids who are fans of the Lynx. BTW There are way better coaches out there, and some of the best are males. It's time to move on from Cheryl and her friends who pretend to be assistant coaches on the Lynx. Just friends getting salary handouts.

BTW, don’t let facts get in the way of your opinions. Cheryl Reeves is the all time leader in both combined regular season and playoff victories in the W. Her winning % is 64% and she has the most wins in league history @ 414. She has 4 WNBA championships and 4 Coach of the year awards but I’m sure you know better than all those stats and awards.

First of all, tell us you're a white heterosexual male without telling us you're one.

You stop hiding behind "not a good look" and "the kids" She stuck up for her players. Funny how her coaches, players, oppenent coaches and media all agreed with what she said. Nowhere in her presser did she blame the loss on officals. She spoke the overall issue with officals which is very clearly bad.

First, yes it was a foul, look up the definiton based on the rule book. AT could not get to the ball without going through the leg. So yes the tip away was legal/clean, the going through the body was not.

Her friends are coaches. How stupid are you? Brunson and Whalen are reduced to "friends" not legends of the game, former champs, HOFs. Just friends shows your disregard for females as a whole, especailly females that don't shut up and dribble or refuse to stay quiet.

What a disgrace to have someone with the views of 1900s who feels so bold and comfortable disrespecting a leader both on and off the court.

Just my two cents, but WBB and womens sports in general would be better off the sooner your type of "fan" no longer is invovled in the sport.
 

The WNBA was not popular until Caitlyn Clark arrived. Your average sports fan could not list a single player in the WNBA other than Paige, Caitlyn, or Angel. Probably just Caitlyn. Without a superstar, the WNBA will fall into obscurity. Fans purchased season tickets, just to see Caitlyn play - that's it. She is the meal ticket for all the other players in the league.

BTW ,,, There is a reason Minnesota sports has failed for decades (Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, Gophers). The fans here are comfortable losing. Outside the twin cities, no one gives a two hoots about to our losing sports teams. The Lynx have been popular because the rest of our pro teams are a joke.

Don’t feed the troll anymore guys. Block/ignore and move on.

Embarrassing? To whom?
 

I saw a column one day about all the new WNBA fans Clark has brought to the league. Which is undoubtedly true. This columnist also pointed out that many of these newbies think that Clark is the best player in the league?

His opinion, which I concur with, is that currently she is not even in the top ten. She is a fine player, and likely will get into that upper echelon one day, but isn’t there quite yet. Flashy, for sure. But there are veteran players in this league who game in and game out that make solid game after game plays that win games, without some of the flair and I imagine drama that Caitlan brings. Again, she can play, but she isn’t quite what some of her followers quite believe she is.

BTW, hats off to Reeves for finally putting the focus on the miserable reffing that the league either condones, or encourages. This is NOT a Lynx thing, it’s league wide. I also wonder if Reeves Rant opened the door for Phee to evicerate Commissioner Cathy for her inability to see that mixing BB and professional wrestling does not make for an interesting, or fair, contest. It was a cold, calculated, and classy summation of what is the leagues biggest on court negative!

Hard to know what "currently" means in the above. Clark played only 13 games this season, and was certainly not a top ten player in those games, perhaps not even top 25. Her rookie year, she played all 40 games, and made first team all WNBA after an unbelievable 2nd half to her rookie year. She was certainly a top ten player her rookie year. Will be interesting to see which Clark we see next year.

Tell us you're not a black homosexual female without telling us you're one. You must have been a female basketball player at one time. That's definitely where the NBA and the WNBA differ.
