WNBA Fans had plenty to say after Caitlin Clark jumped on social media during Iowa’s game and reacted to a technical foul called on Taylor Stremlow. Clark’s post grabbed attention fast, mostly because she rarely comments on NCAA whistles in real time. She wrote, “No way they just gave Stremlow a tech for that [laughing emoji] refs have to let the girls show emotion.”
Once WNBA Fans saw it, the replies turned into a full-blown reaction thread.
User @cmcsed9 told her, “The W is now trying to figure out how they can fine you for this tweet.”

Others kept the jokes rolling, pointing out how strict the league has been about on-court behavior and how quick it is to hand out fines for public comments on officials.
Another fan, @SimonaFGoyal, wrote, “The fine will probably be like $100.”
Most of the reactions came from WNBA Fans who felt the call on Stremlow was soft and who agreed with Clark’s take. They felt a moment of emotion shouldn’t trigger a whistle, especially in a college game where energy and momentum shift fast. Clark posting about it in the middle of her pro season added an extra layer, since players are often told to avoid commenting on officiating at any level. That contrast helped the post gain traction.
The fun part for WNBA Fans is how Clark’s online personality keeps blending with her on-court presence. It isn’t just a tweet; it shows how much she still watches the college game and how connected she stays with younger players. Even if the league never looks at the post, the moment gave WNBA Fans a reason to laugh, react, and debate what should or shouldn’t be a tech. And as always, they made sure the replies were lively, direct, and full of that classic basketball crowd humor.

They understand how grounding animals can be, and many pointed out how long Clark has been away from home due to her schedule.
