Atlanta Dream coach Tanisha Wright got her money’s worth Friday when she ripped WNBA officials after her team’s loss to the New York Liberty.
Wright was specifically furious after Liberty center Stefanie Dolson was merely assessed a flagrant-1 foul after elbowing Dream forward Laeticia Amihere, leading to her bleeding from the mouth. Wright picked up a technical foul for demanding a flagrant-2 call.
“She got elbowed in the mouth. Blood was gushing out,” Wright said about the foul on Amihere. “And for them to only assess a flagrant-1 is absolutely ridiculous. Officiating has been notoriously bad all year.”
