Caitlin Clark Reflects on 'Crash Outs' at WNBA Refs in Video With Aliyah Boston, Candace Parker
Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark admitted she sometimes crashes out at WNBA officials.
"I do," she said when Candace Parker suggested "you crash out sometimes" on the latest episode of Post Moves with Candace Parker & Aliyah Boston.
"I have to grab her and we have to walk away," Boston said while laughing. "And then I'm like grabbing her and she's turning around to look at them and she's still talking smack."
Clark joked that Boston has to go to the officials and say, "I am so sorry about her."
The Fever guard wasted no time talking to officials when she entered the league as the No. 1 overall pick of the 2024 WNBA draft. In fact, Diana Taurasi, Natasha Cloud and Teaira McCowan were the only players in the league who had more technicals than Clark during her rookie season.
While Clark was limited to just 13 games during her second season because of injuries and didn't play in the postseason, she still managed to pick up a fine for her commenting on the officiating in the playoffs:
There is clearly some self-awareness about her interactions with officiating given her comments to Parker and Boston, but it should be noted she has also praised the officiating this season:
Clark surely won't hesitate to let the referees know about it if she feels they made poor calls in the future, but she and teammate Boston were able to joke about her reputation with Indiana off to a 2-2 start this season.
