Storm Coach Getting in C Sides' Face After Caitlin Clark MAKES MORE HISTORY Highlights 2 Issues

[@DarkAngel-zf3ck]

Technical foul is a penalty for UNSPORTMANLIKE conduct or violations by team members on the floor or seated on THE BENCH. Clark gets a technical foul for striking the safety foam padding under the hoop. The same ref had to separates Noelle Quinn and Skylar Diggins-Smith among others from the bench from Christie Sides. The ladies of the Storm were verbally abusing Christie Sides. Where is the technical foul!

[@katharineschott9125]

Not only were they being verbally abusive and getting in Coach Sides' face, they were OVER THE HALF-COURT LINE (ON THE FEVER'S SIDE) WHILE THE BALL WAS IN PLAY - THE GAME WAS GOING ON!!! CC gets T'd up for expressing frustration, NOT AT THE REF, OR AT A PLAYER, BUT BECAUSE SHE MISSED AN OPEN SHOT, (during a dead ball situation), BUT THE STORM COACH, ASSISTANT COACH, AND AT LEAST TWO STORM PLAYERS WERE INVOLVED IN THIS CONFRONTATION WHILE THE BALL WAS IN PLAY AND NO TECHNICALS CALLED!!!!!

The league was tickled pink when the Fever started the season 2-10 and were a laughingstock and schedule-impacted punching bag. The top teams took turns kicking the crap out of these youngsters; it was painful being a Fever fan and watching your exhausted team embarrassed multiple times per week. Now a rested Fever with a more reasonable schedule is kicking the crap outta the "Olympians" (snicker), and you'd have thought somebody was passing gas during a silent prayer vigil. They CANNOT handle "the truth," and the truth is these youngsters are better, faster, stronger and are hungry for recognition. The "cry-baby" aspect of the Storm's coach is just embarrassing, and her player getting in Sides' face should've been cause for at least a one-game suspension.

[@giftcardbill]

I grew up in South Central LA. Down from the Tower Mkt at Florence and Western. (it's gone now). Went to 74th street elementary school then Horace Mann Junior high. I say all of that to prove I did grow up there. That being said. If you were a poor sport you wouldn't be on a team. If you couldn't take the L like a true competitor no one wanted to be around you. I was taught by my coaches and parents the value in being a young professional and being accountable. Of course in my day we helped each other up after a good hit. Quinn's excuse for her thug behavior is just that, an excuse for heinous behavior. It's the victim mentality instilled in so many youth of the inner cities, which quinn has instilled in her players. Look at horston and skyler over their jawing at Sides. Any player with class would have stayed out of it but quinn has them feeling the victim thing. And they must stand up for their peeps. Quinn, skyler and horston need to be suspended for at least one game, fined and forced to apologize to Coach Sides, the Fever, and the fans.

[@rach_storm-007]

I have a different take on this. I've been a huge fan (and continue to be one) of the Storm since 2020. Quinn was appointed Head Coach in 2021. In all the time she's been coaching, I've never once seen her react in any other way than calm and respectful. And the Storm have had their butts kicked with huge blowouts before, and never has their been a negative reaction. Heck, we didn't even make the playoffs last season and there was no carry-on like this. At all. And there have been other games were the whole 'taking starters out and playing the bench' didn't happen and again, no issue. What I find 'interesting' is that this is the first season that the problematic Skylar Diggins-Smith has been with Seattle. And towards the end of the game, it was SDS who power-walked straight into CC (on purpose, of course), then sooked/cried to Quinn about CC amping up the crowd right in front of the Storm bench (this is speculation of course, but makes sense when it comes to this particular player). And it was SDS who had a temper tantrum (as per usual) and jumped into the conversation between the 2 coaches and caused trouble. No one knows what was said between the two coaches. Everyone is going by what the commentators said about there being an issue with Sides not emptying the bench, and their body language. I could be wrong but it makes more sense to me that the issue was SDS and not Quinn, but Quinn feeling the need to take SDS's back as her coach (because that's what you do) has made this into more than what it probably was. Quinn has to be the most unproblematic coach in the WNBA (except for maybe poor rotations and questionable plays lol) so this behaviour is confusing to say the least...except that it involved SDS. Then again, I only follow the Storm because of Ezi Magbegor (my favourite player in the league) so what would I know?? 😂 Ezi is so unbothered by all the drama and never feels the need to get involved. She just wants to play ball lol. Needless to say, the Fever played really well and I was happy for them to get the win. They deserved it. Thank you for coming to my Ted Talk 😉

The second Clark is passed them, Quinn can be seen complaining to the ref and pointing at Clark, which is ridiculous as she saw what went down. I am wondering what Diggins-Smith was saying at one point with her coach, the ref and Sides as she made this motion like getting pushed in the back. Was she saying she pushed Clark in the back?

Seattle Gangsta Coach humiliated her children by pulling her 5 making them quit with a minute+ remaining. Why? Gangsta Coach was wanting Indiana to pull Caitlyn out. She feared another CC record. Which was going to make Seattle Coach wet her pants. Thats a Gangsta? LMAO

This is why new fans see the WNBA as they see the WWE. If the league is interested in cleaning up their bad reputation, then they need to put at least a one game suspension on the Coach and SDS if not a 3-game suspension. They need to send a message to Coaches and Players alike.

[@enemroy]

What I saw was Skylar Diggins shove CC toward the Seattle bench while CC was hyping up the crowd. The second coach Quinn saw CC she got upset and went off.

[@conlanding]

It was a year ago when Skylar Diggins-Smith was on maternity leave when she was with the Phoenix Mercury, her teammate at the time Diana Taurasi was asked if she was looking forward for SDS to returning to the team in 2024 and DT replied, "Next Question!" There's no love lost between Diana Taurasi and Skylar Diggins-Smith during their 3 seasons in Phoenix as teammates.

The game isn't over until it's over. An example: For a good part of the late 70's and 80's Jimmy Connors was the no.1 ranked tennis player in the world. After a loss he was questioned by an interviewer who asked him about the loss. He replied "I didn't lose, I just ran out of time."

Quinn lost money on this game...thought her gangsta team was going to win. What a bad example as a coach! T-spoon has an attitude too. What's worst? Sides blaming CC for loses or a Quinn move? Guess Sides got her medicine back for the way she treated CC. The shit is hitting the fan in all directions 😂

[@deansouthwick1906]

To answer your own question, their coach was trying to prove something, and I’ve seen her being interviewed in her first year as coach - where she’s telling all the reporters she’s “gangsta” and from LA, doing gansta stuff, so don’t play the fool by her, or she will “play that role”. It’s a fun watch. Very telling of her demeanor. She should be fined, and made to apologize publicly.

[@debanderson5796]

Sure hope Sides didn't apologize to her. I would have told her to buzz off.

She took her team off the floor at 1.45, to keep Clark from getting a 10th assist. A third straight 20 and 10 was a big all-time record, and she knew it.

[@calicoe99]

@NightOwl-xz5eb This. And it makes you wonder how many other times they bullied Sides to do the same things in the first half of the season, off camera. All those questionable subs and pulling CC out before she could score a triple double and other record-breaking moments. All while promoting the fake McDouble-double Barbie queen. This league is just, wow. And now they are under the glare of a spotlight, so everyone can witness their petty entitlements and sabotage. Just wow.
