Teresa Weatherspoon couldn’t take it anymore.

Weatherspoon, the head coach of the Chicago Sky, lost an excruciating 83-81 game to the Washington Mystics, the last-place team in the WNBA, at home on Friday night to fall to 4-8 on the season.

In the postgame press conference, Weatherspoon fielded about four minutes of questions before growing exasperated and storming off.

The question that made her bubble over came when she was asked, “This next stretch of games, against the Fever and the Wings, how are you going to use this as a measuring stick to assess whether not maybe some changes need to happen?”

Earlier in the press conference, the same reporter had asked Weatherspoon if she was considering shuffling up the starting lineup after a sluggish start, as the Mystics had gotten off to a 20-6 lead.

“I’m not thinking of that. I’m thinking about going and winning games. We’ll figure it out,” Weatherspoon answered the first time the variation of the question was asked.

Weatherspoon was a national champion in college at Louisiana Tech, and had a nine-year professional career in Italy and Russia.

When the WNBA launched in 1997, she played for the Liberty, where she was a five-time All-Star.

Weatherspoon was later the head coach of her alma mater and assistant for the NBA’s Pelicans before joining the Sky this year.

The Sky have lost five of their last six games.

While Weatherspoon surely wouldn’t have wanted to hear a reporter say this out loud, the Mystics, who had a 1-12 record prior to Friday night, were a classic trap game for the Sky.

The Sky play a much-anticipated game against Caitlin Clark and the Fever in Indiana on Sunday.
