Caitlin Clark Screams At Refs ‘You Are So Bad’ After Controversial Call

Caitlin Clark is really starting to settle into her WNBA career with the Indiana Fever as she has the weight of high expectations at the level that few athletes have faced in their lives. Her ultra-competitive nature is one of the rookie sensation’s biggest strengths, and has probably helped her overcome a rocky start to her career by her lofty standards.

Sometimes, that competitive spirit can come out in some unintended ways, which is what happened on Friday night as the Indiana Fever took on the Phoenix Mercury in Indianapolis on Friday night.  Clark got upset at a referee’s call and snapped back at the official after the call.

First off, Caitlin Clark continued her marvelous play of late with another stellar game.  She had 20 points, 13 assists, and 5 rebounds as the Indiana Fever continued playing much better than earlier in the season, 95-86.

In the second quarter, Caitlin Clark thought the referees missed a kicked ball call, and she had something to say about it.

Later in the game, Clark reacted to another call she didn’t agree with.

This comes after this reaction to a call on Wednesday.

All of these are fine, she’s a great competitor, but it definitely shows a side of Caitlin Clark that some want to believe isn’t there.

That doesn’t matter very much compared to the way she’s playing right now. Friday was the Iowa alum’s fifth straight double-double, and one of those games was a triple-double, the only one by a rookie in WNBA history. And, it marked the first time in WNBA history that a player had at least 15 points and 13 assists in three straight games.  She’s starting to shoot at a much more efficient clip, as well, and she may be getting over the rookie wall she hit in June.
