About this listen
On this week's episode, we dive deep into one of our favorite topics when it comes to the WNBA: the officiating.
While fans, players and coaches complain about the refs in every sport, something feels a little different in the W. We did some digging into how the refs in the league get trained, how the model differs from their male counterparts in the NBA and what's being done to address the issue.
