INDIANAPOLIS Sophie Cunningham didn't hold back when discussing WNBA leadership.

The Indiana Fever guard said leadership is "definitely failing us as players" during Thursday's exit interviews after the team's semifinal loss.

"I'm just tired of our league. They need to step up and be better," Cunningham said. "Our leadership from top to bottom needs to be held accountable."

Cunningham listed several reasons for her frustration, including officiating and how players are treated.

"I think everyone's frustrated. When NBA players from that side of things are reaching out to us, just like in awe of how terrible it is," she said. "That's saying something when your counterpart is feeling bad for us because of how we're getting treated."

She commented on officiating issues specifically.
