ABC Commentator Voices 35-Second Opinion on Cheryl Reeve Suspension in Fever vs Aces Semifinals

The heat of the ongoing officiating drama has now reached the Fever-Aces semifinals game. This fire was lit ablaze by Lynx’s Cheryl Reeve following a controversial call made against them vs the Mercury. While the physicality in Game 4 of Indiana vs Las Vegas is in check, it did not stop analysts present there from discussing it.

While Becky Hammon took a challenge during the third quarter, ABC commentator and analyst Rebecca Lobo touched upon the officiating woes, stating, “I’ve talked to coaches throughout this season, a lot of coaches about this exact thing. The thing that keeps getting brought up is freedom of movement. And not just with players having the ball in hand, but often it’s [about if] they’re able to move when the ball is not in their hands.”

As she continues, “This is a league where you want to reward the skilled and not just the strong. And so what I personally would like to see is a little bit more officiating like we see in the college games, where more is called. Because players will adjust. Either call fouls or players will adjust.”

The story is still developing…
