Indiana Fever superstar Caitlin Clark came one technical foul away from being suspended for a game during her rookie season -- and half of them, she said, weren't even for talking to the officials.
"I came close to getting suspended for our last game, and obviously every front office tries to get your technicals taken away, and they wouldn't take any of mine away," Clark said on the Bird and Taurasi show on Sunday afternoon during the women's national championship game. "I got two for slapping the stanchion of the hoop and I got another one for accidentally hitting someone in the eye. So half of them weren't even me getting to talk to the refs, which was dumb."
WNBA superstar Diana Taurasi set the over/under of Clark's technical count at 4.5, and both she and Sue Bird immediately picked the over.
Clark, though, has a different goal.
"I already told Steph two max," she said, holding up a peace sign, of new coach Stephanie White.
“I already told Steph [White] 2 max”
