Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve slams the WNBA for allowing physicality after Napheesa Collier's injury

Game 3 between the Minnesota Lynx and the Phoenix Mercury ended in controversy as a difficult challenge on the ball from Alyssa Thomas resulted in a terrible-looking injury for Napheesa Collier.

The incident enraged Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve, who walked onto the court to argue with the referee. Due to her conduct, Reeve received a second technical foul and was ejected from the game.

After the game, the Lynx coach slammed the WNBA for allowing extreme physicality in the playoffs.

"You’re hearing it from the other series," Reeve said (Timestamp: 0:10). "You’re hearing other coaches, you’re hearing Becky (Hammon) talk about when you let the physicality happen, people get hurt, there’s fights, and this is the look that our league wants for some reason."

Later, Reeve slammed the officials responsible for the Lynx-Mercury semifinal series.

"The officiating crew that we had tonight, for the leadership to deem those three people semifinals playoff worth is f---ing malpractice."

The Lynx coaches' statements landed her in trouble, as many would have expected. The WNBA does not tolerate players or coaches speaking ill of the referees or the officiating. The league has suspended Reeve for 1 game, and she will not be present at the decisive Game 4 on Sunday.
