As Dallas kickstart their season against the Lynx, Paige isn’t the only rookie on the Wings. Chris Koclanes is also making his head coaching debut. Already being in the spotlight for the same, the HC did not want to invite further attention. But his disagreement with the refs has done just that.
When Wings Forward Maddy Siegrest got called for a loose-ball foul, coach Chris Koclanes decided to review the play. Diamond Miller was playing intense defense on Siegrest, denying her the ball, but the play got a bit too physical when Miller pushed her across her back, surprising even Siegrest. While the review from the referees did cause a delay, the broadcasters defended their decision-making because it was no easy call.
“There are definitely a couple of fouls… That’s difficult… takes forever to figure out.”
