## Resource

The WNBA’s officiating saga hit new heights as Caitlin Clark exited a game with a back injury amid controversial plays that sparked outrage — including a missed foul call when Alyssa Thomas allegedly pressed her fist into Clark’s neck and a questionable closeout on a three-pointer. Fever coach Stephanie White blasted the calls as “egregious and utterly disrespectful,” highlighting ongoing inconsistencies despite offseason reforms. While Clark’s receiving more whistles, fans and coaches alike argue the league still struggles with fairness and consistency — turning spotlight moments into distractions from the game’s true talent.
