More than 24 hours later, the individual fouls have been endlessly clipped, remixed and scrutinized. Tuesday’s game between the Fever and Sun finished with five technicals, three players ejected, two flagrant fouls and one huge mess. (One of those technicals was retroactively upgraded to a flagrant, and the mess became large enough to feel like two separate messes, but who’s counting?) Yet, to focus on the specific fouls is to miss a key part of why the ensuing conversation matters for the league.
It's not about how opposing teams handle Caitlin Clark. It’s about the need for better, fairer, more consistent officiating across the entire WNBA.
