WNBA deserves blame for All-Star's inevitable injury

4. It doesn't matter

Reeve's point, and it has been made by other coaches, Stephanie White in particular, is that the officiating in the WNBA is HORRIBLE. The refs deliberately look the other way when a player makes a hard foul on another, particularly if it's a well-known and well-liked player who's fouled, and particularly if it's a team that's not doing so well.

Reeve got suspended because "you're not allowed to criticize the refs publicly", which I also think is wrong. I think it's wrong in the NCAA, too, especially when calls are egregiously bad, or if a payer is continually bullied the way Caitlin Clark has been.
