Dan Patrick blasts WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert for canceling interview

The WNBA has enjoyed record-breaking interest over the past two seasons, but not everyone believes the league is capitalizing on its momentum. 

Sports broadcaster Dan Patrick took issue with commissioner Cathy Engelbert after she abruptly canceled a planned interview on his show, calling out the decision during Friday's broadcast.

On Friday's broadcast of "The Dan Patrick Show," Patrick went into detail about a situation that unfolded on Thursday afternoon. Patrick's show was expecting to have Engelbert on the show after she agreed to come on to discuss several WNBA-related items.

Patrick revealed that he and his crew waited on Engelbert for nearly two hours before finally receiving word that she'd been recommended by the WNBA PR staff not to join the show. Patrick did not mince words when revealing his feelings about Engelbert's late cancellation.

"We're just trying to be a journalist and ask questions, that's all," Patrick said on Friday. "If you want to be treated as a serious league, this is what happens. These are tough questions, but this is a fair outlet for you — a fair platform. I will treat you with respect."
