New York Liberty coach Walt Hopkins isn’t disagreeing with the call and no-call in the final second that both went the way of the fifth-seeded Mercury, which beat the No. 8 Liberty on Thursday in a first-round single-elimination WNBA playoff game.
Rather, Hopkins said afterward that in general the Liberty got the short end of the stick, both in this game and all season long.
“There are a lot of things I want to say about the officiating in the WNBA and about the lack of respect this team’s gotten all season,” Hopkins said.
