Reese herself said that “wait[s] disrespect him”, but defended his colleagues because “they don’t say anything”.
“However, I think those two work very hard and try very hard, and the way they are defended in every game and [have to] adjust. The reason we are where we are is because of those two,” Reese said.
“For us not having anyone was just a slap in the face.”
