Dakich blasts WNBA over Caitlin Clark incident, calls league a joke
Dan Dakich ripped the WNBA and Fever leadership for how they handled Caitlin Clark’s incident after Alyssa Thomas punched Clark in the throat during a Fever–Mercury game, calling the response 'complete bulls---' and urging tougher action. He criticized league officials and DEI leadership for silence, praised Fever coach Stephanie White, and pressed Fever leadership to back Clark more forcefully, even suggesting bench-clearing measures next time. Clark left the game with an injury in a 111–109 loss to Phoenix, while Thomas received a Flagrant 2 foul and was suspended.
