Message: [QUOTE="EricLA, post: 2305677, member: 26"] I don't disagree that the refs in the WNBA in general leave a lot to be desired. Having said that, IMHO thug play has no place in the WNBA. Yes there will be more physical play than is allowed in college, but at times, to me, it borders on a rugby scrum. Having said that, a player like Griner, who got into it with Barncastle in college, certainly has learned. You never see/hear about Griner being overly physical with a player and usually she's the one getting mauled. It remains to be seen if Johnson learns from this, or continues with her overly aggressive play. Instead of blaming the refs, which she has a point on Ajavon's muggery, she ought to look at herself - this is her 2nd suspension in 3 years. And it's not like the suspensions were for getting T'd up for jawing at the refs- they were more serious than that. [/QUOTE]
