WNBA fans are pretty delighted to see Caitlin Clark getting back to being herself on the court, as seen from her appearance in the Team USA practice camp. It looks like Clark is back to her usual self, as she was reported to be yelling at the coach, just like she does in the W. Fans are clearly too excited and have been dropping reactions, not just in her honor, but also covering her for what everyone says about her defense.
“Kelsey is knocking her off the ball and Caitlin gets called for a foul and she starts yelling at the refs ‘She’s grabbing me!’ and all of the coaches from WNBA team who were just sitting there and watching are just cracking up,” nosyone4 tweeted, sharing a video clip from the ‘No Offseason : The Athletic Women’s Basketball Show.’
Caitlin 😭😭😭

“Screaming at refs, she really is back (eyes tearing up emoji)” one fan said.
“Caitlin’s defense is just as good as any guard in the camp except Jackie maybe and I have been trying to figure out when/where people assume she was a bad defender. I watched most of her freshman/sophomore games and all of the junior/senior along with her rookie season. Caitlin is a good defender but she tends to gamble a little much for steals, which may sometimes put her out of position.” Another fan defended Clark.
“Yeah. It has started, all media is now talking about CC needing to work on her ‘defence.’ Hmmm and (basketball emoji, usa flag emoji) proudly showing the PC video doing a 3. UConn mafia will try to leave her out of the team and take PB.” One more fan said.
WNBA Fans Troll Refs Who Are Taking Aim At Caitlin Clark
On the other side, WNBA fans are also taking shots at the referees themselves, who have been accused of being unfair when they’re calling games. Some even felt that the officials were not happy to see a white girl from Indiana dominate the league.
“These players that hold and grab can’t effectively guard her without cheating. As long as they can get away with it, they will. I wish the NBA and WNBA would understand that we just want the rule book enforced and evenly for all. Much more entertaining than the fake BS.” One fan said.

“I’m sure that was all in fun but the refs are a real problem!” another fan added.
“Poor CC!! (pleading face emoji) Why are they like that!?!” one more fan said.
Despite these challenges, it looks like everyone is happy about Caitlin Clark coming back in full force to train with her team. Clark is also training alongside her rival, Angel Reese, which makes the camp all the more fun.
