Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White didn’t hold back on the WNBA officials following Saturday’s controversial ending and loss to the New York Liberty on Saturday afternoon.

Stephanie White’s Fever were trailing the visitors 90-88 with 2.9 seconds remaining. They had an inbound pass in New York territory with a chance to win the game or force overtime, but a controversial no-call against Natasha Cloud on Caitlin Clark allowed the Liberty to hold on for a close win:

One of the top WNBA storylines last year was the number of obvious fouls on Clark that the officials missed. But to miss a call that obvious with the game on the line, understandably, drew the ire of White.

Speaking to reporters after the loss, Stephanie White wasted no time criticizing the officials. She accused them of showing “disrespect” toward the Fever and called it “disappointing” that the calls aren’t balanced:

“I thought she [Caitlin] got fouled. I think it’s pretty egregious, what’s happening to us the last two games. The disrespect [by the referees] for our team, right now, has been pretty unbelievable. So it’s disappointing that it doesn’t go both ways, or it hasn’t gone both ways. But we also can’t allow that to consume us…We gotta be able to play through that.”
