WNBA Probes Seattle Storm Coach’s Alleged Profanity Toward Ex-Player

The Seattle Storm are under the WNBA’s microscope once again, as the league investigates allegations that an assistant coach hurled profanity at a former player after a recent game against the Las Vegas Aces. This follows a separate internal probe last December into the team’s coaching staff, which cleared them of workplace misconduct. But the spotlight’s back on, and it’s not for their jump shots.

Reports indicate the complaint centers on an unnamed former player, with sources claiming the assistant’s language crossed a line. The Storm, staying tight-lipped, referred all questions to the WNBA, which hasn’t commented yet. Meanwhile, some insiders are pushing back, calling initial reports inaccurate, though details remain murky. Is this a storm in a teacup or a deeper issue brewing?

Last year, the team faced similar heat over bullying allegations, but an independent investigation found no violations. Coach Noelle Quinn stood by the process, praising the organization’s transparency and support. Yet, with this new probe, questions linger about the team’s locker room culture. The WNBA’s review will either clear the air or stir up more turbulence for Seattle.
