After a violent argument with the referee, Caitlin Clark must be restrained. Tuesday night just fueled Caitlin Clark’s aggravation, if you don’t already think it’s boiling over.
The star player for the Indiana Fever got into a fight with a WNBA official during a game against the Connecticut Sun and had to be restrained by a team member. After a coach’s challenge timeout in the third quarter of the game, Clark was incensed by a call and yelled at referee Michael Price.
Even though the event wasn’t live, a replay of it revealed that a staff member had to grasp Clark’s jersey in order to pull her back. As ESPN pundits made fun of their lack of “good lip reading,” Clark seemed to conclude the initial tirade with, “Are you kidding me?”

She seemed to ask, “What was that?” as well. toward Price. Clark criticized the referee once more after Price examined the play in question, which was an out-of-bounds call following a rebounding situation.
That is simply impolite. “Grow up,” Clark yelled, then pointed with his finger at Price. “Come on over here. Unbelievably, after that, the two had a conversation, with Clark looking very enthusiastic during the brief meeting.
As Price made his ruling regarding the coach’s challenge by the Sun, Clark returned to the Fever’s bench, seemingly resolved. Clark was fortunate to get away with it without receiving another technical foul.
