***CC22 and the Fever mega thread***

[Manfredi]

Have a question. Coached HS for 27 years and still follow NBA and WNBA closely. Last night when CC and Rivers? got a double Technical, Mitchell hit a three pointer and was fouled. After the dust settled Mitchell was awarded 2 attempts to make 1. She made the first and game continued. Have never seen that before. Anybody??

I haven't seen it before either. I figured she got a FT for the foul and then ball out of bounds for the Fever...but then again I still shake my head when I hear hostile act or reckless closeout. Next year I could see "feelings hurt" or catty ***** or something similar in the terminology of different kinds of fouls.

I just heard the announcers' explanation - she got fouled on the three, that's one FT, then reckless closeout get another FT, but rule says you can't get more than four points on a shot. So as soon as she reaches 4, it's done.

Thanks

CC and AB trying not to laugh like 14 year old boys.

Luckily "Bob" Griner took the night off. Talk about dudes playing in the women's game.....

Heard today that Rapinoe is calling it quits soon. Stayed mum on transgenders in female sports in her career, and now she's advocating for it. SMH.

Nope. Those weren't on THAT play. The double T was called on a play where Clark did get fouled by the post player up by the three point line , not Rivers, (who fouled her first, but no call). They call the double T on Rivers and Clark, and then review. Clark shoots the 2 free throws for the foul called. Then play resumed Suns ball out because the double T cancelled out any other free throws. That was not the play involving Mitchell....

The double T was not on a play involving Mitchell in any way....

Correct. If it had been on a made 2 point shot she would have gotten 2 FTs no matter what, but on a made 3PTER she gets 2 chances to make one as there is a 4 point per play "cap".
