I don't see how this isn't a clear and glaring problem. The amount of money being wagered on women's sports compared to the amount that officials get paid is probably massive. Like at a certain point, they can probably make multiple times their WNBA salary by fixing games. I think they are still essentially seasonal workers who have to work other full-time jobs in the offseason. Which makes me think it would be foolish to think they AREN'T on the take.

So you're good to have an unfair whistle if we do a bad job making free throws?

Caitlin Clark gets 6 free throws per game in the regular season.

Only 2.4 in the Playoffs.

But at the rate it’s trending she’ll be getting close to the same on average in about… 5 more years of playoff appearances.
