Officials explain why Marina Mabrey wasn’t ejected for shoving Caitlin Clark

The decision not to eject Marina Mabrey led to debate among some fans. After the game, crew chief Ashley Gloss provided clarity on the situation, explaining that the level of contact wasn’t severe enough to penalize Mabrey.

“The contact made by Mabrey did not rise to the level of an ejection. Additionally, (it) did not meet the criteria for a flagrant foul penalty two,” Gloss revealed, via IndyStar.

Adding to the controversy was the technical foul handed to Caitlin Clark.

“After the foul by Sheldon, Clark reacted in an unsportsmanlike manner towards Sheldon,” Gloss explained.

Caitlin Clark chose not to address the incident during the postgame press conference. Instead, she requested reporters to stick to basketball-related questions.
