Fever HC Delivers 37-Second Pushback on WNBA Officiating After Dream Takes Playoff Game 1

Last year, when the NY Liberty won Game 5 and the championship trophy, Cheryl Reeve openly fired back. “That s— was stolen from us,” she shared in the postgame press conference, indicating the disparities over foul calls. While the year has changed, it seems the victim has, too. Now, it’s Stephanie White enduring the same fate as Reeve, though quite early.

When asked about the frustrations during Game 1 of the playoffs against Atlanta, the head coach didn’t stay quiet. “Nobody likes to use their challenges in the first half, especially when they’re successful. And look, it is what it is. This is not anything that’s new,” she expressed.

Throughout the game, tensions were boiling over between the Fever and the refs. But things reached their peak when Atlanta went on a 9-0 run to start the fourth, while Stephanie White and point guard Odyssey Sims picked up technical fouls.
