Shocking News: Chicago Sky Head Coach slammed Angel Reese Over Her…

The Chicago Sky suffered a pretty disappointing loss on Friday night, falling to the Washington Mystics, who have the worst record in the WNBA. And head coach Teresa Weatherspoon seemed to allow the frustration from the loss to boil over into her postgame press conference.
After the game, Weatherspoon was visibly frustrated at multiple points throughout her press conference, but one question from a reporter seemed to send her over the edge.

“This next stretch of games against the Fever and the Wings, how are you going to use this as a measuring stick to assess whether or not maybe some changes need to happen?” the reporter asked Weatherspoon.
Weatherspoon was clearly not a fan of the question as she slammed her hands against the table in response and angrily walked away from the press conference without offering an answer.
The frustration is understandable for the first-year head coach as her team is now in the midst of a three-game losing streak highlighted by a loss to the worst team in the league. Still, it wasn’t exactly a great response to an entirely fair and relatively innocuous question from the reporter.
The Sky will try to bounce back from the loss with a showdown against Caitlin Clark and the Indiana Fever on Sunday.

Chicago Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon was spotted storming out of a press conference after Angel Reese and Co. lost to the Washington Mystics – the last-place team in the WNBA – on Friday night.
The 58-year-old, rookie head coach, who was already irritated with her team’s display in its narrow, 83-81 loss, walked out on reporters after just four minutes of questions, as the press conference seemed to have further put her into a bad mood.
The question that made Weatherspoon boil over came when she was asked: ‘This next stretch of games, against the Fever and Wings, how are you going to use this as a measuring stick to assess whether not maybe some changes need to happen?’
Earlier in the press conference, the same reporter had asked Weatherspoon if she was considering a change in her starting lineup due to the team’s 4-8 record, as the Mystics took advantage of a 20-6 start to set the tone for the remainder of the game.
‘I’m not thinking of that. I’m thinking about going and winning game. We’ll figure it out,’ answered the former WNBA guard the first time the variation of the question came up.
Sky head coach Teresa Weatherspoon’s patience grew thin after the team’s loss to the Mystics.
