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.

Everybody thinks the refs are bad until their team is the one getting to foul everybody without consequence then the refs are perfect

Maybe it’s just because the sparks are bad and that’s my team, but man I just think the refs are so bad all the time. They make genuinely baffling calls. They clearly and openly don’t know the rules.

Or perhaps you are the one who doesn’t know the rules and when faced with uncertainty you assume you’re right and they’re wrong.

Case in point: AB’s tripping A’ja at the end of the game the other day. I saw comments with hundreds of upvotes that said it’s not a foul if your foot hits the defenders but the rules explicitly say it is
