Message: [QUOTE="visitingcock, post: 5299142, member: 6872"] I think Caitlin gets an advantage in that she is not called for the numerous push offs that are a part of her game. I am a fever fan ( mostly because of Boston) and enjoy Clark’s shooting and passing. But I understand how opponents complain that refs should try to limit her most obvious push offs. I think her defenders get very frustrated by the leniency afforded to Clark on push offs that leads to them using their arms more aggressively to counter that. The refs are lenient in that regards too. The push offs and hand checking escalate to a point where both sides are getting ramped up as the game progresses. Then it erupts. No, I don’t criticize the eye poke and don’t think there was any intention at all. I do blame Sheldon for the chest bump that followed but a “ simple “ technical should have been called to cool things down. Mabreys’ and Cunningham’s actions warranted expulsion. [/QUOTE]
