Clark Calls Out WNBA Refs: 'Be Consistent!'

Caitlin Clark expressed significant frustration with the officiating in Game 2, openly criticizing the referees for their inconsistency. During the postgame press conference, Clark detailed her concerns, pointing to a perceived struggle by the officials throughout the game. She specifically noted the discrepancy in free-throw attempts, stating that her team had 18 free throws compared to the opponent's 34 before a late-game foul. Clark questioned the rationale behind offensive fouls called on her while similar contact on defense resulted in fouls against her team. She urged officials to apply rules consistently, stating, 'Either call it all the time or don't. But be consistent.' Clark fouled out late in the fourth quarter after receiving her sixth personal foul, adding to her season-long issues with tight whistles and physical defense.
