UCLA women’s basketball head coach Cori Close was not happy with LSU’s Angel Reese at the end of their Sweet 16 game.
With about three minutes left in the game, Reese picked up her sixth foul and fouled out.
While walking back to the bench, Reese was seen telling UCLA’s bench, “That’s soft a– sh–, the F you talking about?”

Reese didn’t get a technical foul called on her for cursing at UCLA’s bench, and Close lost her mind begging the refs to T-up Reese.

When asked about the incident, Reese told the media that she was responding to “another coach who was talking crazy” but insisted she wasn’t yelling at Close.
Angel Reese said a different coach, not Cori Close, was "talking crazy" and led to her talking to the UCLA bench on her way off the floor after fouling out late in LSU's Sweet 16 win. When a second question asked for more details, she quickly said "next question"
