WNBA Fines Lynx Coach, Outburst At Playoff Game

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – The WNBA has fined Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve for her coat-throwing outburst during Game 2 of the
WNBA Finals against Indiana.
WNBA director of communications Ron Howard confirmed the fine Friday, hours before Game 3 between the Lynx and Fever in Indianapolis.

He would not disclose the amount.
     During Wednesday’s game, Minnesota’s Lindsay Whalen was issued a
technical foul after complaining about a no-call.

Reeve got a technical, too, and she then took off her suit coat and threw it so
hard that a trainer later evaluated her right shoulder.

     Indiana coach Lin Dunn said she thought Reeve deserved a second
technical and automatic ejection.

Reeve stayed, and the Lynx won the game 83-71 to tie the best-of-five series at 1-1.
