Chicago Sky head coach Tyler Marsh was ejected during the second quarter of Saturday’s home game against the Connecticut Sun after nearly accidentally knocking out a referee.

Tyler Marsh became furious after a controversial non-call after Elizabeth Williams missed an eight-foot shot. Connecticut forward Aaliyah Edwards appeared to have gotten away with a foul on the play, leading to a furious response from Marsh.

After the non-call, Marsh ran toward the referee and punched the air, narrowly making contact with him. The official wasted no time ejecting Marsh, who had to be held back by Angel Reese and his assistants:

The Sun went on to win 94-84, putting another dagger in Chicago’s playoff hopes. Per ESPN, Connecticut shot an impressive 51.5 percent from the field and made 8-of-20 three-point attempts.

Tyler Marsh Is Having A Tough First Season As Sky Head Coach

Marsh’s first season as head coach of the Sky certainly hasn’t gone as hoped. A recent back injury to the aforementioned Angel Reese hasn’t helped matters, but the Sky haven’t looked like a playoff-caliber team all season.

Now at 9-27, the Sky sit nine games out of the final playoff spot. Knowing that Saturday was an absolute must-win to keep their slim hopes alive, it’s no surprise that Marsh’s frustrations boiled over.

Brittney Griner Finally Breaks Her Silence Over Alleged Caitlin Clark Comments That The WNBA Refused To Investigate

WNBA star Brittney Griner was at the center of a new debate over what she allegedly said in a game against basketball phenom Caitlin Clark.

The Atlanta Dream center found herself at the center of social media controversy last month when some fans thought she disparaged Indiana Fever star guard Caitlin Clark upon fouling out.

The game’s broadcast focused on an upset Griner saying something as she returned to the Dream bench after fouling out of the game. While there’s no audio of this moment, some who tried to read Griner’s lips thought she called Clark a “trash f–king white girl.”

However, there’s no proof of Griner saying those actual words since others thought she stated something else.

It took weeks for someone to finally get a quote from her, and she provided much of nothing.

Brittney Griner was asked about this moment before her team’s June 15 game against the Washington Mystics and said, “I remember fouling out, being mad. I remember fouling out on, I believe it was [Natasha] Howard driving to the basket. They said I put my hand in.”

Moments before the conclusion of the Indiana Fever’s 81-76 victory over the Dream at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta weeks ago, cameras seemingly caught Atlanta Dream star center Brittney Griner labeling Caitlin Clark “trash” before calling her a “f***ing white girl” in frustration over a foul on Natasha Howard.

The clip of Griner speaking on the bench, lacking context, spread on social media and went viral.

Griner, who won a gold medal for Team USA at the Summer Olympics in Paris in 2024, essentially got aw@y with whatever came out of her mouth because the league basically ignored the controversy.

This incident is not the only time Griner vocalized her frustrations this season. Following another game, she stormed off mid-interview, yelling at the referees to “be f—ing better.
