Storm coach calls out refs for Skylar Diggins ‘bulls**t'
The post Storm coach calls out refs for Skylar Diggins 'bulls**t' appeared first on ClutchPoints. The Seattle Storm played an intense double-overtime game against the Los Angeles Sparks, but they were not able to win in the end, losing 108-106. Other than it going double overtime, the one thing that stood out is Skylar Diggins didn't have free throw attempts throughout the entire game. Diggins is known for creating contact and getting to the line, but that was not the case this time. After the game, head coach Noelle Quinn had a lot to say about her star player not getting any calls. 'Sky played 43 minutes and took zero free throws. It's ridiculous,' Quinn said via ESPN's Kevin Felton. 'Maybe I have to come up here and get fined and rant, rant and rave for us to get respect and consistency. That's all I want. I'm not a coach that complains often, but I see what happens when people come up here and do it, so now I'm about to do it. 'Forty-three minutes and zero free throws is bulls—. Period.' It was the second time during the season that Diggins went through a game in which she didn't have any free throws. For Quinn, it seems to be bigger than the free throws, and there were times throughout the game where she felt the referees didn't make the right call. Noelle Quinn goes off after Storm's loss Quinn is one of four head coaches this season who hasn't received a technical foul during the game, but it seems like she may be considering it with how they've been treated. 'It's ridiculous. It's been happening since Game 1 and I haven't said anything, but I watch what other people do and watch what other people say and see how it changes, so I'm saying something today,' Quinn said 'My players work so hard, and we're not foul merchants. We're not seeking to get to the free throw line. We're just trying to play basketball, and we're not getting rewarded for that. So maybe I need to get more techs.' With 58 seconds left in regulation, she called a coach's challenge after it looked like the ball went off on the Sparks. When looking at the replay, it looked like it should be the Storm's ball, but the referees came to the conclusion that it was going to be Sparks ball. 'I saw with my own eyes it go off the opponent, and they said there was not enough camera angles to change that call,' Quinn said. 'Again, the lack of respect, the disrespect. I can't. I know I'm young and early in my career, but I work very hard, and so does my team, and we deserve to get refereed consistently.'

Brain fade sees basketball player dunk in his own net to trigger double-overtime defeat
Australia's brightest men's basketball prospects, including the younger brother of an NBA star, survived a double-overtime thriller to record their first victory 101-96 at the Fiba Under-19 World Cup in Switzerland. But the game will be remembered for the unusual help that triggered the Australians' late comeback. Cameroonian big-man Amadou Seini – who had 15 points and 24 rebounds in a largely dominant display – received the ball from a teammate off an in-bounds underneath his own basket with his team up by six points with less than a minute left. Rather than dribble or pass towards the other end of the court as everyone expected, the teenager jumped up and dunked it into his own basket. The implications were plain. One Cameroon player put his hands on his head. The teammate who passed him the ball pointed to the other end. The referees converged to discuss what happened. 'It's two points for Australia, I have never seen that in the hundreds of basketball games I have called,' the commentator said. 'Whoops.' The play immediately followed a timeout, and it appeared to be designed to get Seini free, who briefly set a screen before driving towards the basket. The staggering brain snap from Seini – who has already played for the full national Cameroon team – allowed Australia back into a contest they would eventually win in double overtime. Dash Daniels – younger brother of Atlanta Hawks guard Dyson – had 22 points for the Emus. 'We started slow. It's a credit to the fellas that we could fight back. It's definitely a learning lesson that we will not start like that,' he said. Roman Siulepa also scored 22, and Jacob Furphy added 18. Sharp-shooter Alex Dickeson had 12 points including two vital late three pointers, including one with four seconds left in regulation to tie the game. Australia lost to the USA in their first game and now meet France in their final pool game early Wednesday morning, before the round of 16 – in which all teams take part – commences later this week. Seini's 24 rebounds were one shy of Andrew Bogut's 2003 tournament record, although that feat was largely overshadowed by his blooper. The big man has a chance to redeem himself against the unbeaten Americans in Cameroon's final group match.
