Napheesa Collier Slams WNBA Leadership Over Officiating
Napheesa Collier criticized the WNBA leadership and Commissioner Cathy Engelbert over their dismissive attitude towards players' concerns after a controversial no-call in a semi-final game. Collier, a vice president with the players' union, called for better leadership amid ongoing CBA negotiations.
In a post-season media conference, Minnesota Lynx star Napheesa Collier criticized WNBA leadership, including Commissioner Cathy Engelbert, describing their attitude as 'tone-deaf and dismissive'. Her comments follow a controversial no-call in a crucial game where she suffered an injury.
Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve also lashed out at the officials, resulting in a one-game suspension and a $15,000 fine. Collier stated that officiating inconsistency damages the sport's integrity, as unresolved issues persist.
The criticism arises amidst challenging collective bargaining negotiations, with Collier, a players' union VP, advocating for change as the WNBA Finals approach.
