ESPN and Associated Press first reported the sanctions.
Fever coach Stephanie White is reportedly not going to be fined for her comments about WNBA, who officers. She complained about the lack of control the judges had on the game when competitiveness began to ramp up.
“This is what happens,” she said via Indy Star. “You have competitive women who are the best in the world on what they do and when you allow them to play physically and you allow these things to happen, they will compete and they want their teammates’ back. That’s exactly what you would expect from fierce competition.

“I started talking to officials in the first quarter and we knew this would happen. You knew this would happen. They need to get control over it. They have to be better. They have to be better.”
White said each coach brings up official problems at league meetings and understands that the job is getting harder, but officials have to find a way to remedy their calls with the ever -changing league.
“The game has changed so much. Players are faster, they are better, they are bigger, they are stronger, they are as good as they have ever been, so athletic as they have ever been. The game is fast, now. Things happen fast,” White said. “Everyone gets better except the officials. So we need to find a way to remedy it.

“We’ve heard every coach talk about it. I don’t know what the answer is.”
