Hot news:
Lisa Bluder - Caitlin Clark's former coach, released a "controversial" statement saying Clark cannot do this like Christie Sides did at Iowa. This statement received many mixed opinions, most of them said she was trying to target Christie Sides
The remarks, made during a recent interview, have ignited a heated debate among basketball enthusiasts and fans of the rising star.
Bluder, who coached Clark during her tenure at lowa, expressed her views on Clark's playing style and the transition to the professional league. She suggested that the current coaching strategies in the WNBA might not fully utilize Clark's three-point shooting prowess, which was a significant part of her game in college.
Clark, known for her exceptional shooting ability and scoring prowess, gained widespread recognition for her impressive performances at lowa, where she consistently demonstrated her proficiency from beyond the arc.
However, since joining the WNBA, some observers have noted a shift in Clark's role on the court, with fewer opportunities to showcase her three-point shooting skills. Bluder's comments have reignited discussions about the adaptation process for collegiate athletes transitioning to the professional level and the challenges they may face in adjusting to different coaching philosophies and team dynamics.
The controversy surrounding Bluder's remarks underscores the ongoing scrutiny and expectations surrounding Clark as she navigates her career in the WNBA. Despite the differing opinions, one thing remains clear: Clark's talent and potential continue to captivate basketball fans, and her journey in the professional league will be closely followed by supporters and critics alike.Hot news:
Charles Barkley criticizes Cathy Engelbert’s WNBA for overly glorifying Caitlin Clark as an individual, warning of potential negative consequences. "This excessive focus on one player is bound to have detrimental effects."
A couple of months ago, she sparked a frenzy, revolutionizing deals and ticket sales for the Indiana Fever franchise. Even though she was the apple of the spectators’ eyes, basketball legends weren’t quite sure about her performance on the court. “When I first saw the WNBA TV schedule, the first thing I said was, oh, shit. I said, there’s going to be a negative impact, blowback from players, from media,” said Charles in a recent episode of a podcast.
But this is just a glimpse of ‘Sir Charles’ insights into Caitlin Clark. In a recent episode uploaded on the official account of The Steam Room with the title – No Caller ID + “the guys upstairs” – Charles Barkley sat with Ernie Johnson to discuss the ongoing scenario in women’s basketball. “So, Caitlin Clark, you know I’m a big Caitlin Clark fan. We all are,” Barkley added later in the same episode.

But why did ‘Sir Charles’ have different thoughts about Caitlin before?

This too is answered by Barkley in the episode itself. He continued, “None that she had in it because of the number of games that she had a fever on. You would think that people who run the WNBA would be smart enough to know that there was going to be blowback. And I understand because you have the Aces who have been two-time defending champs.” But he didn’t stop there. He also opened up about how he wanted things to happen. He added, “So, I wish they would have been smarter not to put her in a position cause she’s a shining star. And I know you have to show her, and I think it’s important we show her, but I think that’s overkill in my personal opinion.” Though things didn’t happen as per Barkley’s and Johnson’s expectations, Caitlin is in a good position. She’s already one of the highly anticipated prospects in the history of the WNBA who’s turning heads before even hitting the hardwood. Now, the question is – Will Caitlin be able to keep up with the expectations of the spectators?News
