Chris Koclanes Brutally Calls Out Officiating of Paige Bueckers After Loss vs. Golden State Valkyries

Head coach Chris Koclanes just ripped the officials after Bueckers kept getting knocked to the floor with no whistle! Now, Koclanes didn’t hold back after the Dallas Wings lost 90-81 to the Golden State Valkyries, blasting officials for the lack of foul calls on rookie guard Paige Bueckers. Despite relentless drives, Bueckers earned just two free throws while battling double-teams and constant contact. Koclanes even picked up a tech in the fourth, saying it was as much about standing up for his team as it was about missed whistles as he said: “The whistle wasn’t going our way, and then I see Paige get run over on a box out. How many times does she have to be on the ground before she gets protection? I had to step in and show our players I have their back. I hoped it would be a momentum changer, but Golden State responded with timely threes.”
