Criticisms Pour In for WNBA Over Fever vs Aces Semifinals Game 4 Decision

3 out of 4 Semifinal coaches have called out the officiating. That is the state of WNBA referees right now. Cheryl Reeve went on a 2-minute direct attack on the league for the refereeing in their game 3. “So, if this is what the league wants, okay, but I want to call for a change in leadership at the league level when it comes to officiating,” she said. “The officiating crew that we had tonight, for the leadership to deem those three people semi-finals playoff worthy, is f—ing malpractice.” It turns out, Fever and the Aces will be dealing with them in Game 4. 

To put it lightly, Reeve wasn’t happy with the group. She directly ran on the court and had to be held by her assistants and Natisha Hiedeman. Fever insider Scott Agness revealed the referee lineup for Game 4 of the Fever vs Aces series. “WNBA assigned the same three officials to Fever-Aces today that had Game 3 of Lynx-Mercury on Friday.Isaac Barnett, Randy Richardson, Jenna Reneau. Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was ejected, then suspended one game for conduct and criticism of the crew & operations.”So when the same referees who angered Cheryl Reeve to the extent that we saw, the WNBA fandom was quick to take the league’s case.

So she was held accountable for her actions but you let those 3 bad refs (who were just bad all game, don’t think they favored any team in particular) go on & ref again? Lollllllllll
