In a recent showdown between the Liberty and the Lynx, tensions between the coaches reached an all-time high as Liberty Coach Sandy Brondello fired back at Lynx Coach Cheryl Reeve for her criticism of the referees in Game 5.
Brondello, known for her fierce determination and unwavering support of her team, did not shy away from defending the referees and highlighting the importance of fair play. She expressed her disappointment in Reeve for saying the WNBA Championship was stolen from them.
Cheryl Reeve reacting to the outcome of the game said;
“All the headlines will be, ‘Reeve cries foul.’ Bring it on.” Reeve said. “Bring it on. Because this sh** was stolen from us. Bring it on.
“At the other end when they challenged it, if we would have turned that clip in, they would have told us that this was marginal contact, no foul. Guaranteed. Guaranteed.
“So, when you review, there should be the same parameters that you’re reviewing with, but the three people on the game need a fourth party to let them know. Because that decided the game,” the Lynx coach added.
And then Sandy Brondello hit back saying;
“I thought they were pretty fair,” Brondello said as the reporters burst into laughter. “That’s what you’re gonna get, give and take – game number one we should have won. I have so much respect for Cheryl and that Minnesota Lynx team. That was ugly, but we found a way to win.”
With her strong rebuttal, Coach Sandy Brondello showcased her determination to stand up for what she believes is right, all while reminding everyone of the true essence of the game – teamwork, respect, and fair play.
