Prominent WNBA Coach Cheryl Reeve Accused Of 'Lying'

It's been over a year since Team USA basketball coach Cheryl Reeve infamously snubbed Caitlin Clark from the 2024 Summer Olympics team. But the controversy lives on.

Sports writer Christine Brennan recently published her book "On Her Game: Caitlin Clark and the Revolution of Women's Sports." Brennan attempted to interview Reeve for the book, but never got a response from her.

"I texted her, I called her PR people," Brennan said on The Robin Lundberg Show. "I got in touch with the PR, emailed the PR people. Went through USA basketball several times in May when that first story broke for USA Today, and then all the way through, including, I forget exactly when, but certainly December, maybe January, to give her an open opportunity to talk to me. I would have run the quotes at length."

Brennan then revealed that Reeve accused her of doing "doing the due diligence" in trying to reach out to her prior to publishing the book. She accused Reeve of lying about that point - and about other things.

"Um, you know, if she didn't want to do that, okay, that's fine," Brennan said, via YardBarker. "But when she said, I think at one point in that appearance she had that, well, I didn't do the due diligence. Oh, I so did the due diligence, and she knows that because she had the messages, including text messages, when I got her cell number. So, the lying Robin, it's it makes me sad to say this because I like Cheryl Reeve. I mean, the lies, you know, are there, and anyone can find them and see them."

While Brennan may not be every sports fan's cup of tea, many fans will probably never forgive Reeve or USA Basketball for keeping Clark out of the 2024 Olympics.
