MINNEAPOLIS — New York Liberty coach Sandy Brondello blasted the officiating and foul call disparity following her team's 82-80 Game 4 loss Friday to the Minnesota Lynx. «If [we] are getting hit, it's a bloody foul,» she said.
Brondello's critiques came after Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve spoke out after Game 3 with her own issues with the officiating. With the Lynx's victory Friday, the series is headed back to Brooklyn for a winner-take-all Game 5. «I know Cheryl talked about it last time, but we got no calls today,» Brondello said. «So do I need to talk up in a press conference?
Because they were getting ticky-tacks. And we went down there and got hit and get nothing. »It was 14-9 [Liberty fouls to Lynx fouls] No.
All we want is fair, okay. So if we are getting hit, that's a foul. You know, I'm one of the nicest bloody coaches in this league, but this pisses me off.
