Stephanie White called WNBA officials to swallow their whistle on Caitlin Clark.
With the fever according to the freedom of two points at the end of the match on Saturday, Clark did not have a shot when she was trying to hunt a inbound socket against a physical cloud of Natasha.
The Gainbridge Fieldhouse horn sounds to seal a defeat of 90-88 while the ball bounced.
So much for the house.

“I thought she was the victim of a fault,” said White, the head coach of the fever after the match. “I think it’s quite obvious which had the last games: a free launch gap of 31. And I could perhaps understand it if we were simply 3 years old. But we are not. We are attacking the edge.”
Clark threw her hands into the air, swayed a fist in the air and had a disconcerted look when she was looking for the officials to find out why she had not received the call that would have sent her on the free throw line with a chance to win the game by flowing the three attempts.
Asked about the final game after the match, Clark said: “I don’t know” and that she hadn’t watched the game yet.
“The lack of respect at the moment for our team has been quite incredible,” said White. “It is disappointing that it does not happen in both directions – or it did not happen in both directions.”
Cloud said the way the fever aligned for the Inbound pass had told him to expect something that is not traditional and a lure while Clark came out of a screen.
Clark finished with 18 points on 6 shots out of 18 on the ground.
“When she arrived, gave her a little pressure,” Cloud told Post Madeline Kenney.
“When she tried to lift the ball at her shot, I literally made her switch to my four fingers. I knew she was going to shoot him. She wanted a 3. Obviously, you want to go for the victory at home, and I knew she had a little raw shot tonight, so I knew she wanted to have this moment at home.”
The non-appeal in favor of Cloud followed one whistle at the other end of the ground.
Sabrina Ionescu led the way with the score equal to 88-88 and was hit in what could have been an accessory contact.
It could be argued that Ionescu was leaned over the defender Lexie Hull and that his path was not hampered.
Ionescu did two free throws with 2.9 seconds to play.
It seems that White will ask for an explanation from the WNBA office to explain why his team is on the wrong side of the Bang-Bang calls.
Freedom was 25 out of 32 on the line, while the fever was 11 out of 15.
“There is a system to make sure we can send things and communicate our grievances, so to speak,” said White. “I don’t know I have the impression that the system works. We are not looking for a change. We just look for consistency. “
