Caitlin Clark's Team USA Snub Controversy Resurfaces With New Statement

Now a year later, this controversy is resurfacing.

Earlier this week, Brennan doubled down on her criticism of Reeve with comments on "The Adam Gold Show."

“How on earth is that okay with the Olympic and Paralympic Committee and USA basketball, that its coach is actively tweeting and going on social media about someone who is in the selection pool?” Brennan asked.

A few days later, Reeve fired back with a response on "Golic & Golic."

“What she wrote is fiction. And if she were paying attention, one of the things I have done for years is hold the league accountable for their missteps, mishaps, their lack of representation of all teams," Reeve said.

"So that particular situation had nothing to do with Caitlin Clark,” she continued. “It had everything to do with a WNBA social media post that promoted one preseason game and not all preseason games. And so I simply said that, by the way, the Minnesota Lynx are playing the Chicago Sky."

Reeve recognized that she's the "villain" in Brennan's story.

“If Christine Brennan were being thorough and a legitimate reporter in this situation, she would have gotten full context," the Minnesota Lynx coach concluded. "But it didn’t fit the narrative. Christine Brennan likes to have a villain in her storytelling. I am Christine Brennan’s villain, that’s the sword she’s going to die on.

"It's a fiction, the stuff that she has written about me and my interest in Caitlin Clark being on or off the team."
