Way to go,Juulie!Ask a simple question and you start WW111.Quite the talent you've got there!

My opinion?
1)Agree with Rocky-technical foul.With the minor injury caused by the contact,you could possibly deem it flagrant,also,especially at lower levels.I would imagine that the WNBA will review the play to see if any further discipline is needed.
2)Of course the WNBA is a professional league.The players,coaches,league administrators,etc. all get paid.They have a TV contact,with more exposure than the NBDL and other minor pro mens leagues.They draw some pretty fair crowds,also-sometimes better than some NBA games.The players in the league are also damn fine,skilled athletes,too.
3)I don't watch much NBA anymore,either.Not because of the officiating,like Dan.It's more for Rec Ref's reasons.The posturing,chest-beating,dissing crap just wears me out.At least in the WNBA,the players seem to play hard,play defense and actually seem to care,too.
4)Rut?I gave up taking anything that he says seriously a long time ago.
JMO.
