Caitlin Clark made another appearance at the Big Ten women’s basketball tournament on Thursday, supporting the Iowa women’s basketball team she led to three straight titles. But while her presence was a reminder of past glory, it was the officiating that stole the spotlight. As Iowa battled Michigan State, controversial calls left fans frustrated, and many wondered—why wasn’t Clark stepping in to help?
The Hawkeyes took care of business with a 74-61 win, securing their 11th straight conference tournament victory. But the game’s defining moment wasn’t a clutch three or a fast-break dunk—it was the technical foul assessed to Iowa head coach Jan Jensen. Fans immediately took to social media, calling out the officiating. One Twitter user posted a GIF of Clark clapping with the caption, “I wish Caitlin yelled at the refs instead of Jan Jensen. Can’t give a fan a technical.”
