PHOENIX — Mercury head coach Nate Tibbetts was ejected from Game 4 of the WNBA Finals.
Tibbetts found himself on the wrong end of the referee whistle when he was arguing a foul call on Monique Akoa Makani. Akoa Makani was called for fouling Las Vegas Aces guard Dana Evans. Tibbets got into referee Gina Cross’ face, arguing the call at the 2:41 mark of the third quarter.
Cross issued a double technical foul on Tibbetts, and he was ejected. He did not immediately leave the court, seemingly confused by what had just happened. Eventually, he walked off the court and up the tunnel to exit the game.
Later in the fourth quarter, Mercury center DeWanna Bonner was called for a technical foul when she was stripped of the ball trying to corral an offensive rebound. Kahleah Copper was also assessed a technical when she fouled out with less than two minutes remaining in the game.
