The coach of Connecticut, I\u2019m sorry, little sir man, I do not know your name, but the next time you try to call out a referee, you know, I\u2019m trying to get a call, being like, \u201cC\u2019mon, she\u2019s 300 pounds,\u201d I\u2019m gonna need you to get \u2026 cause I\u2019m 6\u20198\u201d. I\u2019m weighing, I just double-checked, \u2019cause I love to be correct and get facts, I\u2019m weighing 235 pounds and I\u2019m very proud of being a big b****, Big Benz, Big B.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>So don\u2019t ever try to disrespect me or another woman in the league. I don\u2019t know if that\u2019s how coaches run, you try to disrespect women like that from the sideline? You\u2019re so lucky it was during a game; that whole part, you were so lucky I was doing my job. \u2026 To that little man, how little? Tiny. Where is you? Stop trying to protect your insecurities, baby, pick up the phone, call the psych, because you\u2019re projecting some bulls**. And next time you try to disrespect me, remember, I\u2019m 235. It might seem like 300 to your little eye. I\u2019m 235, baby.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>She added, \u201cI have to say one more thing: I think there\u2019s a difference between players and players, like talking on the court, but for a coach for another team to be yelling, like, protected abuse, we can\u2019t do nothing back. It\u2019s just crazy to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After her Instagram post, Cambage posted a video of herself in a gym working out to a song titled \u201cBig Body Benz.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller apologized on Monday, saying, \u201cDuring last night\u2019s game, while arguing a call with an official, I made an inappropriate and offensive comment in reference to Liz Cambage\u2019s height and weight. I regret what I said in the heat of the moment and want to sincerely apologize to Liz and the entire Aces organization.
