The WNBA suspended Minnesota coach Cheryl Reeve for one game for her behavior and comments during and following the Lynx’s 84-76 loss to the Phoenix Mercury on Friday night.
“Her conduct and comments included aggressively pursuing and verbally abusing a game official on the court, failure to leave the court in a timely manner upon her ejection with 21.8 seconds to play in the fourth quarter, inappropriate comments made to fans when exiting the court, and remarks made in a post-game press conference,” the league said in a statement Saturday.
