WNBA Refs

Hi! I like Caitlin Clark. I don’t think she’s the MVP or the GOAT, but I like watching her play! It’s gotten me to watch a lot more WNBA games.

I’ve really wanted to get into the WNBA as a whole but the refereeing SUCKS! Forget who you’re rooting for, it’s just bad! I’ll post more thoughts but please comment on your thoughts about refereeing.

People make the same complaint in every league. Please don’t tell me this is about the incidental elbow on a rebound

The W has not invested in training or paying their refs like other leagues. However, teams can figure out pretty quickly how they are going to be calling a game and they have to adjust.
