Former University of Connecticut women's basketball coach and Basketball
Hall of Famer Geno Auriemma has stated his belief that Caitlin Clark,
a member of the Indiana Fever and the top pick in the upcoming draft, has been "targeted" by aggressive players.
Does she have to deal with the typical difficulties of a rookie, the rookie challenge? In Connecticut,
Auriemma confirmed the answer to reporters. "They're going after her as well."
On Saturday, Clark's clashes with other teams came to a climax. On an inbounds play,
Chicago Sky guard Chennedy Carter caught her off guard and knocked her to the floor.
After review, the WNBA elevated the call from a normal foul to a flagrant foul 1, even though the officials had initially deemed it a regular foul.
