00:00We obviously got news of the Chicago Sky firing their head coach and there's
00:08been a lot a lot of conversation around well how players feel how other coaches
00:13are on the league feel and how fans feel about this move. Teresa Witherspoon
00:17being let go was the last thing that we saw happening because a lot of people
00:21are expecting that it wasn't the coach it wasn't how the coach was running this
00:24team her players supported her you've seen a lot of the outspoken outcry
00:27across all social media platforms more importantly the conversation has to
00:31start at the top did they make the right moves that they have to help this team
00:35thrive and were they actually on board with having a rookie try to drive their
00:38entire team and season so the outrage across the board being that they feel
00:42like this was an unfair firing for Witherspoon and I mean that's something
00:46else you guys can chat with us when it comes to social media because for the
00:50most part nobody was expecting the sky to have this complete turnaround maybe
00:53they were being too compared to what was going on for the fever but Angel Reese
00:56had some words and some heartbreak when it came to the firing of her head coach
01:00I'll read you with this Angel Reese takes a Twitter to say that she is
01:05heartbroken literally at a loss for words knowing what this woman has meant
01:08to me in such a pivotal point in my life she was the only person that believed in
01:11me the one person that trusted me many don't know even what it's like to be a
01:15black woman in sports when nobody believes in you you had a tough job all
01:18the crazy circumstances that we went through this year and when your back was
01:21against the wall you always believed I came to Chicago because of you you were
01:27an unsung hero in my life we built a relationship in a short amount of time
01:30that will last forever I'll never question why God brings people into my
01:34life and takes them away from me in the capacity that I need them but I've
01:37always believed everyone is in your life for a reason and a season you were the
01:41best reason and season you didn't deserve this but I can't thank you
01:44enough I love you teaspoon and this is just one of many heartfelt and
01:49heart-pouring messages that went across the socials the minute that this news
01:52got released so it's something that a lot of people do not agree with I will
01:56say I do not think this was a head coaching issue in terms of the lack of
01:59success that the Chicago Sky had their moments of burst spoke volume they did
02:03have to the buy-in for the players and how the players wanted to play not only
02:06with each other and for each other but most importantly for Witherspoon so
02:10we'll see what comes in the next coming days or weeks as the WNBA season rounds
