After the game, reporters were eager to hear from Marsh. He took part in the postgame conference and explained his actions.

"It was hard being in the back and not being out there for the team," Marsh said. "I felt like I was letting them down, other part of me was like, I had to. It’s been egregious all year.

"I feel like we've been getting the short end of the stick all year. Every time that I've gotten a tech this year has been in support of our players. ... There's no accountability on the other side of it [refereeing] and that's the breaking point."

With its loss on Saturday, Chicago dropped to last place in the standings despite sharing the same record (9-27) with the Sun. The Sky are out of the playoff race, but still have eight games left on their schedule.

Chicago will face the Las Vegas Aces on Monday.
