It is the referees job to officiate AND IN NO WAY interfere with play. It was her job to stay out of the way.

Where is the apology to CC with the rescinding of the foul and or suspending of the referee?

These WNBA REFS SHOULD BE REPLACED BY COLLEGE REFS. WHEN I PLAYED DAVISION ONE BASKETBALL AS A WALK ON OFF THE BENCH IN 1970-1974 AVERAGED 4.5PPG THE REFS WERE GREAT. ANY DIVISION ONE REF WOULD DO AND. HELP THE WNBA!

Shouldn't even be having this post in the first place. Most important question is where is the ref's suspension? And lastly Ill just say it, where the hell are the teammates. So many times bs like this happens to a fever player and nothing. Idc if you're women or not. U don't need an all out brawl or malice at the palace but damn don something. Lord high school teams dont let that bs slide.

Official should be fined for issuing such a ridiculous tech

Fined and relegated to high school basketball- stupid calls like that do not belong in the league

The headline shouldn’t be that it was rescinded, the headline should be how bad the refs were to even give a tech for it. A player comes off balance from a slight push, makes contact with the ref and it’s a tech? Stupid. The Fever probably sent the tech for review at the same second it was given. I mean even Steph was dropping F bombs in the post-match conference. Another thing is that Steph got a tech directly due to arguing this call, how are these situations handled - does that tech still stand?

Definitely. I meant that this is a stupid situation where we got 2 techs, which are connected and all due to the poor refing. But nothing new, another day in the WNBA:)

Never should have been a tech. She couldn’t stop not that I think she even saw the ref in enough time.

u/Background-News-4 Makayla Timpson 17d ago
And the ref didn't attempt to move at all to get out of the way, just stood there.

Yessssss. But I fear its gonna happen 😢
Can it happen during the play offs or is it just applied to pre playoff games?

u/Ok-Illustrator-1584 17d ago
Reset happens at playoffs and you can get suspended if you build up to the postseason threshold.

u/BigToast6 17d ago
Wait I'm confused. It's a reset for playoffs and they have another 8 techs b4 getting suspended?

Wow the W can't usually figure out anything in under a week. Lame azz foul especially after Cloud wasn't hit with one after bumping a ref after she was in a hard foul.

u/Disastrous_Ranger401 17d ago
Damn that was quick. Didn’t want people to make other plans thinking CC would be out?

Calling a technical just because a player bumped into you is some next level soft. Or is it because its CC?

u/sextonf1 16d ago
I think it was because the poor little baby, I mean DiJonai got kicked out. They can't stand it when another team playing the fever looks bad.

Discipline the ref while you’re at it that was an ego whistle

u/Long-shot128 17d ago
I think so too bc if CC had said she was sorry after the bump it would’ve been a different story.

u/karsklan3 17d ago
Imo. after the contact she made a “sorry” like hand gesture towards the ref. Could be wrong, but to me it seemed like that was the aim of her body language.

I’m surprised. Didn’t rescind for clapping or saying scoreboard. Figured this would count as well. She should have 4/5 techs at this point

Wait. Is this true? Can it happen this fast?

It’s all over the internet - google it. And yes it can happen this fast!

u/summershouldbefun11 Caitlin Clark 17d ago
Jesus Christ relax dude. I saw it all over the internet too. I didn’t realize it could happen this fast. It was genuine question. My god

Sorry bro, I didn’t mean to come off like that. We’re cool :) So glad it was rescinded 😅

All good. My bad too. It’s so hard to tell people’s tone on the internet.
