Women’s F4/Caitlin Clark

[OrangeDW]

I always liked playing for the crazy over the top coaches who went nuts at refs.

I know I'd love Mulkey if she was my coach. She knows what shes doing and its a calculated effort to influence the next call.

Womens Final Four has been way more entertaining than the mens and that is even with a buzzer beater. Just no real personality on these mens teams apart from FAU who should have won by 20 if they didn't go 3 or 4 possessions in a row without rebounding even off free throws. Get past the sweet 16 and the mens tournament gets stale. Womens totally different story the stars always come to play and step it up.

The “Clark’s and Reese’s” of the men’s game are in the NBA after one year.

Hawkeyes’ star Caitlin Clark waves off unguarded South Carolina player as Iowa stuns title favorite

Iowa star Caitlin Clark waved off a wide-open South Carolina player as the Hawkeyes beat the undefeated Gamecocks Friday night to advance to the national championship game.

Clark did the same type of thing to one of South Carolina's players. Not just Ville. Reese probably doesn't go up to her like that if she doesn't have a history of taunting herself.

I think its awesome.

Not even remotely close to the same thing.

So now online it's turning into a race thing. I give up.

The most predictable thing ever.

Yep and also where I say I'm done.

Yup.

Just look how sad the tournament performances of all the lottery picks this year was.

Arkansas with 2 of them had their moment beating KU but get humiliated by Uconn can't keep it close. Dick cost Kansas that home game in the Sweet 16 giving them nothing not even being one of their 3-4 best players. Brandon Miller sucked had a scoreless game and they got beat like a drum. George was not good for Baylor. Jarace Walker was OK I guess but they were a 1 seed who went down very easily.

Come on that isn't exactly great sportsmanship. (Especially considering shes the media darling and getting all the positive publicity.)

I don't think its a big deal and anything to detract from the run she had but its gonna piss off the opponent when someone waving off shooters and turning their back on them gets all the praise and positive PR combined over 4 teams.

 

[Trueblue25]

Dont buy that Reese was doing it for the other SEC/South Carolina girls. She just wanted the cameras on her.

 

[OrangeDW]

Reese was extra. She’s often extra.

Eric Devendorf did the same stuff, James White tried to fight him in the handshake line after GMac’s buzzer beater, lol.

Not that big of a deal, IMO.

 

[690West]

I’m shocked with Etan’s take. Shocked I tell ya!!! Lol

She was telling a 24 pct 3pt shooter to take the shot. That's something we've all done in a pickup game.

What is wrong with you?

There have been some amazing players, but have to say Clark really grabbed national attention by the way she plays. It’s like Steph, awesome player, but the entertainment side is just so huge as well.

Maybe it’s just me, but I’m sort of ok if a coach gripes all game long, but it really bothers me when a coach is on the floor doing it.

One warning. Technical. Booted.

She was way way on the floor.

Yeah I don't understand why the refs let it go. Calipari is another one who likes to come out on the court.

Yeah I can't get too worked up over that.

Yeah, I’m that guy.

No, not the taunter.
The tauntee.

And yeah - I’d make it rain.

 

[Day2]

Etan is?

In what world?

She just made herself look immature, unsportsmanlike and selfish

Now do Clark.

That’s Etan’s point. Either they’re both unsportsmanlike or they’re both amusing. If it’s OK for Clark, then it should be OK for Reese. If it’s not OK for Reese, then it shouldn’t be OK for Clark. That’s it.

I kept saying she made it look like Brey was always home in bed with how far on the floor she was. Even in the way of the officials. I was waiting for her to accidently knock an official over.

Come on, man. She was 100% disrespecting her. Waving off another player doesn’t mean, “Go ahead and take the shot.” It means, “You suck and I’m not going to bother.”

Safely tucked away behind your keyboard far, far away

Yeah, you’re right. Fan boards are no place for an opinion. Go crawl under a rock , snowflake.

Lol. Yea this is exactly the same. Chasing a player around.

 

[OrangeDW]

Lol. Yea this is exactly the same. Chasing a player around.

I agree with both of you.

Clark’s was either ignored or presented as awesome.

But Reese went further and doing it after the buzzer sounds is different than during the game.

 

[bpo57]

Lol. Yea this is exactly the same. Chasing a player around.

It's hilarious to hear Reese moan about disrespect cuz of that goofy little gesture by Clark, in a game that didn't even involve LSU. After the game Clark was all class and gave LSU plenty of credit. How some can equate the two actions is baffling to me and that clearly was what Etan was implying.
