The head coach of Indiana Fever, Stephanie White, has not chopped words when they share his reflections on the refereeing in the WNBA, which followed the match on Saturday when Caitlin Clark has undergone a quad injury that will put the star of the stars for at least two weeks.
Apparently, these strong remarks landed in white with trouble with the league.

After fever suffered a disappointing defeat against Washington’s mystics in the first match of the team without Clark, White was questioned during the post-match presser if she thought that the League had to intervene to protect the best players against the “intentionally raw game”.

“Obviously, I think we can improve in certain fields with regard to the way we call the game, consistency with the way we call the game … Do we say that we want an offensive game with free flow, or are we going to have difficult physical games, in the way in a way, and another way, the players will adapt and the coaches will adapt, but we cannot do it. quarter
She continued: “I do not think collectively as a whole, the league must intervene and do something, I simply think that there must be improvements in certain areas.”
But when it was pushed further on what these areas could be, White revealed that its previous remarks – probably these on Saturday evening – led him to receive a fine.

“Let us try to make me a fine again? Because I have just received a fine,” she said with a sly smile.
White did not develop more, but the fine probably came from his comments after the defeat of Saturday at the New York Liberty.
“I think it’s quite obvious what has had the last four games, you know, a free throw gap under 31,” said White, adding that she was thinking that Clark had been fined in the game of the game. “And I could perhaps understand it if we were just 3 years. But we are not. We are attacked by our team.

White said on Monday that she was not sure when Clark had exactly the injury.
“Sometimes the big players don’t tell you when they hurt,” she said. “I’m glad she did it because we have to suffocate it in the egg.”
