THE Wgb will not publish any suspension after skirmish that broke out At the end of Tuesday’s match between Indiana fever and Connecticut Sun, a league source confirmed Athletics.
With 46 seconds to play in the match, the Indiana Wing Sophie Cunningham was evaluated a flagrant 2 after trying to stop the guard of Connecticut JACY Sheldon during a Layup attempt – a fault that hit Sheldon on the ground. The sequence sparked an altercation between the players of the two teams. Three players, including Cunningham, were ejected. In addition to being assessed the standard fine for a flagrant 2, Cunningham will receive an additional fine for his role in the fight that followed the initial fault, said the source.
The source said Athletics This technical technical fault of the third quarter of the solar guard Marina Mabrey was also reassessed to a blatant fault of 2 and that Mabrey will be sentenced to a fine accordingly. No other player has received additional league punishment.
After the match, which the Indiana won 88-71, the fever coach Stephanie White criticized the competition referees, saying that the Wgb has a problem at the league level.
“Everyone (in the League) improves, except officials,” said White. “I started talking to civil servants in the first quarter, and we knew it was going to happen. You could say that it was going to happen. So they must take control of it. They must be better. “
Sun’s coach Rachid Meziane expressed his frustration in the face of the sequence that led to several ejections, saying that the game was a “stupid fault”, since Indiana was up 17 points.
On Wednesday afternoon, neither of the two coaches had been sentenced to a fine for their post-match comments, said the source. The WNBA does not historically publish the news of coaches and players.
The tensions between the teams were strengthened throughout the match, while Sheldon was called to a blatant fault in the third quarter after seeming Caitlin Clark in the eyes. It was in this sequence that Mabrey châché Clark, which resulted in a technical fault in real time.
According to a source that made an official appeal regularly planned, the head of the WNBA suggested that Sheldon should not be sentenced to a fine and his blatant fault 1 should have been assessed as a current defensive fault.
“When the officials do not take control of the ball game, when they allow this kind to happen, and that happens all the season … This is what is happening,” said White.
Although Mabrey’s technical fault was improved on Wednesday, the head of the crew Ashley Gloss said on Tuesday via an official swimming pool report that Mabrey’s contact had not reached the level of an ejection or “fulfilling the criteria of an incorrect blank penalty.”
Mabrey was hooked by the crowd of fever inside Gainbridge Fieldhouse throughout the match.
Following the victory and a defeat of Atlanta’s dream, the fever won a place in the Championship of the Commissioner of the July 1 Commissioner, where they will play the Lynx of Minnesota.
The sun will play its second match in two nights on Wednesday against the Phoenix Mercury. The fever is playing the Golden State Valkyries on Thursday.
