But inexplicably, the referees did not call a foul and let play continue.

Responding to a viral video, many fans took to social media to show their dismay and disgust at the no-call.

“WNBA officiating is worse than little league rec ball,” one fan said.

“Caitlin definitely got hacked by Dolson on this play, as a ref I am not sure how you miss that,” another fan said.

“WNBA has a reffing problem,” a third fan noted.

Clark overcame the incident to register 18 points, 12 rebounds, six assists in an 88-81 victory for Indiana.

But it was the latest hard foul on Clark, who received a blow to the head from rival Angel Reese on Sunday.

Clark was driving to the basket when fellow rookie Reese, 22, tried to make a play.
