Caitlin Clark Technical Foul ...

[FlasherZ]

IMO, borderline but acceptable because it involved the equipment for the playing court / game. I wouldn't support a tech if it was slapping the padding of a chair on the bench after she was pulled out, or if it was just raw emotion expressed at herself without physical moves on the equipment.

There is a rule in the NBA and WNBA about striking equipment.

Smaller staff and they have mandates about things we never discuss. So doing that is not something they have to look up in a rulebook. They have been told this is what you do when that happens.

Thanks Raymond, good explanation.

I can't fault, or criticize, the WNBA official in the video.
