Becky Hammon was assessed a technical foul during the second quarter of Game 5 of the WNBA semifinals.
The Las Vegas Aces coach was irate with the officials and walked onto the floor during a timeout to express her displeasure. The referee listened to Hammon for a few seconds, motioned for her to stop and when she didn’t, he blew his whistle and gave her a technical. Hammon returned to the bench and took the clipboard from her assistant coach, then turned heel and resumed yelling at the officials. Her staff intervened and ushered her back to the bench.
This comes a day after Hammon (and Fever coach Stephanie White) was fined $1,000 for comments critical of the officiating Sunday. Game 5 live: Indiana Fever vs Las Vegas Aces live updates, score, highlights in WNBA Game 5 today
