Over the weekend Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark picked up her eighth technical foul, which comes with an immediate one-game suspension.
But Clark wasn't the only one who picked up a technical in the team's 90-86 victory over the Chicago Sky. Head coach Stephanie White received a technical for what she later described as foul language directed at the official.
"My tech was for saying that's [expletive], even though I heard the F-bomb the whole [expletive] game," White said after the contest.

White said she thought the technical against Clark was a "bad" call, describing it as "incidental contact when you're flying out of control."
"I thought her teammates should have come up and talked to her about that as well," White said. "I think it's really bad. That [expletive] happens all the time in a game. Officials have to have some awareness in those moments, and it didn't happen."
As a result of White's comments, she's set to receive a $500 fine from the WNBA.
The official breakdown for technical foul fines in the 2026 regular season are:
- Technical Foul 1–3: $500 fine each
- Technical Foul 4–7: $1,000 fine each, plus a warning letter from the league issued after the 5th technical
- Technical Foul 8: $1,500 fine, plus a one-game suspension
Indiana will be back on the floor Tuesday night against the New York Liberty.
