Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve was ejected from Game 3 of the WNBA semifinals and issued a profanity-laced call for league-level officiating changes. Her ejection followed a controversial no-call that led to a steal and injury for star player Napheesa Collier. Reeve criticized the officiating as "malpractice" and highlighted a significant free-throw disparity favoring the Phoenix Mercury. This marks a recurring theme of coaching frustration with league physicality during the playoffs.
