Excellent points and I like Clark and pretty much all she represents plus she constantly trying to gain a winning edge ( theatrics including refs getting away with a foul or travel once in a great while) mostly unbelievable plays and scoring.  As a person she is a great representative of a human being.

And of course if she played at IU (probably) every one would absolutely LOVE her.

Oh she's definitely one heck of a ball player. She's got an outside chance of breaking Pete Maravich's all time scoring record this year; if she takes her additional year it's guaranteed short of major injury. Granted it's crazy that he scored 3,667 points without the 3pt line.

I was thinking the same, some of the people criticizing her would love her if she played for IU. I think some of her theatrics can get annoying but I'd think that no matter who she played for.

Fantastic player; a series of extremely immature incidents. 

Imagine what the reaction would be if Draymond Green did this! Go to the 2:10 mark:

I do blame refs for no calls on C.C. Such as travel, fouls including flagrant, and arguing with refs…she gets away with some stuff.  Refs need to control in this case and all games…as looking at incidents with players across the conferences especially SEC in my examples (no place for dirty play, aggressive dangerous almost fighting, hitting or punching and jaw jacking in women games)

plus vs Rutgers last season IU player (may have been Holmes) was tackled after stealing ball and going for layup when Rutgers was already beat big at assembly hall.  Holmes was not hurt but did take a hard fall.

Woodbury from Iowa took heat for being an eye poker. Caitlin Clark pokes Chloe in the eyes last year? No media heat.

Guess which IU/Iowa game it happened in? The one where Clark was losing. When she doesn't win she loses it and acts immaturely.

On and on…UCONN in tournament to aid UCONN run ( maybe Edwards, not sure) fouls Gulbe on shot, fouls her again down the court and then knocks Gulbe to the ground as UCONN scores.  Obvious and refs had to see it but no call.  Reason I say Edwards is because of color in braids extensions.

So do you guys think she flopped when the fan charged at the OSU game? Hate to think that someone would do that after the game but man that does look like a flop.

Parrish or Berger on crutches.  And similar scenario…just shouldn’t happen.  Or Scalia, Holmes, Garzon Moore-McNeil, Bargesser etc etc etc.

Extension of arms is kinda split second reaction.  CLARK is innocent.

It looked a little overly dramatic to me. Just my take, though. 

That said, there's too much potential for a collision like that to happen. Home teams need to do a better job of controlling that.

Lol. Nah. That push wasn’t defensive. It was an annoyed bratty reaction then she sold the contact on the fan. Definitely not innocent.

^^1000%^^

More evidence?

• She was pushed after a loss
• Curls up into the fetal position
• Is practically carried off the court but
• Was completely fine a few minutes later.

More evidence? This is exactly what happened when she lost at K State.

• Gets pushed at the end of a loss,
• Spins around and falls into the fetal position.
• Has to be helped off the court.
• Is 100% fine a few minutes later. 

Ever seen her do that in a win? You never will.

[Stuhoo]

Here's Caitlin Clark taking a hard shove down after a win!

• Pops right back up.
• Zero anguish

 

[Stuhoo]

Exhibit 2.

Caitlin Clark gets shoved in a blowout win. Looks bad but on the other angle replay it's an arm push off and she flies backward in a huge arms flying fall. Guess what? She's just fine because they're ahead, and pops up in one second:

 

[Stuhoo]

Exhibit 3:

Now in this one she really gets hurt. Truly injured. 

• But it's just before halftime
• In a game Iowa is up 5.
• So less than one minute later, she is walking full speed back to the bench so that she can come in the game.

 

[TTT]

Caitlin Clark should make an excellent professional basketball player.

You posted all these clips on the day the Oscar nominations were announced. 

Coincidence? Hmmmmm ...

That’s true. Also not innocent. 2 totally separate convos.

Same conversation…drama…as in professional sports.

Ok. You just said she was innocent. Now this?

It’s 2 different conversations. She’s and incredible basketball player and shes not innocent and not a victim. If anything she’s was the aggressor.

I have a day off work, I guess that’s the only reason I bother with this. Lol.

Nope. A long way to go!  Weather cancellation for staff safety and selfishly, a day off as well.
