Wings coach slams team for 'selfishness' in fiery postgame critique
Wings coach Jose Fernandez is not pleased. He openly scolded his team for after a painful loss to the Lynx.
After a 1-2 start to the WNBA season, new Dallas Wings coach Jose Fernandez has already seen enough. "It's real talk, and it's accountability. That's what I told them.
I go, 'There's selfishness in this locker room,'" Fernadez said after a 90-86 loss to the Minnesota Lynx Thursday. "You gotta look in the mirror and be accountable on how you play. And don't get upset if you think that you should have played more, or you didn't play enough, or you didn't get the shots that you should have gotten.
Really good teams, they don't give a (expletive) about that. Know what they give a (expletive) about? They give a (expletive) about winning because that's what matters.
" The Wings opened the season with a 107-104 win against the Indiana Fever . Five players scored in double figures, including guards Arike Ogunbowale (22 points) and Paige Bueckers (20 points). However, Dallas lost a close May 12 matchup to the Atlanta Dream , 77-72, after being outscored 39-31 in the second half and putting up just 13 points in the fourth quarter.
