The No. 1 pick of the recent WNBA Draft, Caitlin Clark has always been known for letting the officials know if she feels like they missed a call.
In fact, her own college coach, Lisa Bluder, revealed that she had to give Clark technical fouls for yelling at refs at practice. Her vocalness with officials has followed her to the WNBA, and while this has led to many people criticizing how vocal she is with the refs, other fans are beginning to think she has a case.
It is no secret that Clark has had some growing pains early on in her WNBA career, but fans are beginning to question if refs are turning a blind eye to some of the physicality that Clark has been receiving. Something that is a trending topic online Thursday evening following the Fever’s loss to the Seattle Storm.

Clark finished the game 6-of-17 from the field with 20 points, but was seemingly pushed around by the Storm. So much so that her head coach Christie Sides also got a technical foul after Clark appeared to get fouled on a layup, but didn’t get a call.
While there are plenty of fans calling Clark out for her complaints, there are just as many calling out the refs. Even Clark herself said she feels like she’s being “hammered” during games.
Here are some of the best reactions from fans and how Clark is being officiated:
“how do the refs allow them to foul Caitlin Clark for this long?”.
“The amount of contact that Caitlin Clark takes on every possession is unbelievable, especially for being a perimeter player. So many grabs, double-teams, pushbacks and hand-checks”.
“Christie Sides has seen enough and erupts on the official after the no-call as Caitlin Clark attacked the basket. This has built up over time — and was needed, IMO”.
