WNBA coach has fiery response to Caitlin Clark fans

Wherever the Indiana Fever goes this season, their fans follow.

Thanks to the Caitlin Clark phenomenon, the Fever has been the hottest ticket in the WNBA with the TV ratings to match . It’s also become very common to see opposing arenas fill up with Fever jerseys and Clark supporters all around the country.

All of that excitement might be great for the league and women’s basketball , but that doesn’t mean opponents have to like it.

Case in point, Minnesota Lynx head coach Cheryl Reeve’s comments on Sunday before their game against the Fever in Minneapolis.

Before the game, Reeve was asked her thoughts on “people cheering for that other side” in the arena today, to which she replied, “I don’t give two sh*ts.”

“How bout one?” asked the reporter.

“Not even one sh*t.”

Well then.

Reeve can be seen smirking in the video, but plenty of fans didn’t take too kindly to the comment, especially since Reeve is the head coach of the 2024 Women’s National Team competing at the Paris Olympics. Clark was left off that roster and some have pointed to Reeve as part of the reason why.

The Lynx coach was asked about that as well. ESPN’s Myron Medcalf asked her if Clark might have a spot on future national teams, and Reeve made it clear she’s not here to talk about anything other than her Minnesota Lynx.

“Why the hell would I answer a national team question?” she said. “I’m wearing Lynx. And I’m the head coach of the national team but I’m not the chair of the committee. Anybody want to venture into anything else?”
