Emmanuel Acho Doesn’t Hold Back About Angel Reese’s Reaction to Caitlin Clark

Acho Says Reese Overreacted—And Admits It Herself

On FS1’s “The Facility,” Emmanuel Acho addressed the scene directly and said Reese may have gone too far in the heat of the moment.

“I got no issue with how Angel Reese reacted,” Acho said, “but it’s subjectively clear she did overreact. I got an issue with everyone saying Angel Reese is overreacting… we know she overreacted because she knows she overreacted.”

Acho was referring to Reese’s own postgame interview, in which she dismissed the incident, saying, “Basketball play. It was a good foul. Move on.”

According to Acho, that admission tells the whole story. “She said it herself. So I’m not mad at her emotions—but let’s not pretend it didn’t happen.”

The encounter is already being framed as another spark in one of the league’s most talked-about emerging rivalries. But as Acho made clear, separating emotion from acknowledgment is what brings clarity—and this time, Reese did both.
