I’ve never envied the job of a head coach. From high school to college to the pros, it’s a public position that invites scrutiny from all corners. At the end of last week, the Dallas Wings lost a close game to the Minnesota Lynx after having the lead for most of the contest. Wings first-year head coach Jose Fernandez was very blunt in his postgame presser on Thursday night:
“It’s real talk, and it’s accountability,” Fernandez said. “That’s what I told them. I go, ‘There’s selfishness in this locker room.’ There is. You gotta look in the mirror and be accountable on how you played, and don’t get upset if you think that you should’ve played more, or you didn’t play enough, or you didn’t get the shots you think you should’ve gotten.”
