There has been a lot of talk surrounding Angel Reese and her relationship with Teresa Weatherspoon, who was recently relieved of her duty as the Chicago Sky's head coach after failing to guide the team to the playoffs in her first season at the helm.
Reese herself spoke out shortly after news broke that the Sky had decided to fire Weatherspoon. The 22-year-old expressed her heartbroken reaction to the rather unexpected development.
Reese also revealed how close she had gotten to Weatherspoon throughout the season, which, apparently, may have played a pivotal role in the organization's decision to axe the former five-time WNBA All-Star.
"According to league sources, Weatherspoon had lost the locker room because of a culture that catered to the needs of a few players," Costabile wrote.

This allegation, unsurprisingly, took social media by storm. More than a few fans out there are convinced that the report was discreetly pointing to Weatherspoon's bond with Reese and how this may have damaged the coach's relationship with the other players on the squad.
"Like I said, she catered to Angel Reese and tried to build the team around her and it wasn’t working when theyMaybrey That’s when the damns it broke," a comment read.
"Really, it is a code word for catering to one player. Saying multiple to share the blame," said another.
"Wanting AR to win ROTY really costed her the job," reacted a reader.
"They saw her throwing games to get Angel double doubles and we were all supposed to act like we didn’t have eyes when it happened," pointed out a user.
"It was obvious, that's why barbie took it the hardest, she's was shown favoritism over winning games. Everyone knew cardosa was a better defender n scorer if given more minutes," surmised another.
"The Reese effect, it was so evident how the HC prioritized DD instead of winning the games," read a reaction.
Whatever the case might be, the Chicago Sky have now moved on from Weatherspoon and are in search of their next head coach. Angel Reese has no other choice but to do the same, regardless of how she feels about her mentor.
What cannot be denied, however, is that the organization's decision on their next head coach will be impacted by his or her ability to potentially bring out the best in Reese, the team's cornerstone star, in the years to come.
Sure she did. She don't know how to keep her mouth shut. This will always be her issue. Know talent big mouth with nothing substantial coming from it.Go home bitch

Cardoso was misused and definitely is the better player between her and Angel. I said it all year long. Sat and watched them run plays to get Angel the ball in the post while using Cardoso for high pick and rolls.
