There's only been 2 games all season when she's played 20+ minutes & not gotten to the foul line, more games where she's had double digit FT attempts than 0.
And I'd be shocked if they're not doing this in the WNBA. We have that happening for officiating in Iowa HS football, can't imagine a pro league that doesn't have detailed feedback/coaching on every call a ref makes or doesn't make. College football/NFL officials are judged on every play in every game.
Support for CC starting to wane, they got to her and she is not handling it. Too bad, I was rooting for her, but she lacks toughness. She should do a reality show where she goes to Army Ranger boot camp or something.

It seemed real apparent she was coddled at Iowa. Never won a state championship, never won a natty. Probably didn’t help herself by going to Iowa.
Yeah Chad Greenway's daughter bypassed Iowa for this very reason most likely. Going to the SEC to get tested.
She won 13 state titles in three sports. Wow. Multi sport talents tend to adjust well in college and life in general. Good for her. I’ve noticed that this is the second legacy five star that Iowa missed out on this year.
Also, the first in WNBA history with 400 points, 100 assists, and 100 rebounds.
Lynx rookie Miles reaches 400 points, 100 rebounds, 100 assists
Minnesota rookie Olivia Miles scored a career-high 33, becoming the first WNBA player to reach 400 points, 100 rebounds and 100 assists in only 22 career games, and the Lynx defeated the Phoenix Mercury 104-100 Monday night for a third straight victory.
CC made the ESPN app with a story about Commissioner Silver saying she has become a political issue. Most of her problems are because the league went overboard on making her the poster child for it when she came in. She does not help when she acts the way she does and gets in officials faces when she (like a few others) feels she was fouled and it does not get called. That would stop if they gave a tech to these players who constantly berate officials. She also for some reason has not become stronger to take the rough play of the WNBA. I noticed in her last game she wears a belt to help her back and has a special pad to sit on when on the bench.
Silver also said the officiating needs to improve. The media following made her the poster child, not the league. The league goes out of its way to NOT over publicize her because it hurts the feelings of other players.
Yes the media was a driver but the league has also made her a main event. Look at the schedules and how many times the Fever are on free TV and announcers always make her much of the comments. I think she is a vary talented player like many in the league but she gets more face time then most others. The league has not tried to keep her out of the lime light they love the publicity she brings.
Fans can’t believe WNBA excluded Caitlin Clark from 30th anniversary poster
Caitlin Clark has been one of the central figures in the WNBA’s recent surge. But it apparently isn’t enough to make the league’s 30th anniversary poster.

She did not make the first group because the players did not vote her there.Fans can’t believe WNBA excluded Caitlin Clark from 30th anniversary poster

edit: I should clarify she was 10th among players and 2nd among the fans.

I actually think the league has over corrected the other way and tried to minimize Clark. The media like to create drama surrounding her. The Fever are on TV a lot that is for sure, but that makes sense given viewership.
The fans vote counts for 50% among the players votes she was 10th but fans had her at 2nd. There is an interesting take from Dan Patrick on utube about CC.
Yeah she still looks weak out there, an incredible offense player. It is clear they aint winning it all this year, likely wont make it deep. Clark guaranteed cannot protect the paint and just cannot stand up to the physicality of the game.
