Interesting data on coach’s challenges this season.

Indiana has the 2nd highest percentage of successful challenges at 62%. They also have the 3rd most challenges in the league overall and per game. The teams with more challenges are only successful 48% and 50% of the time. The teams with a higher success rate has about 2/3 as many challenges on the season as Indiana.

They have challenged almost the most calls in the league and gotten almost the highest rate of calls overturned. In fact, only one team has fewer challenges where the video review confirmed the ref’s call as good. And that is a team that has only had 9 challenges on the season. 27 out of 29 challenges by the Fever have some viability to them. The next closest in the league is 22 out of 30 challenges for the Fire.

What does all of this mean? Good indication that Indiana is getting screwed by the refs during live play more than every other team in the league.

If I was Caitlin I'd be tempted to casually just show the refs my arms, sans scratches, before the game. Then as I started to get scratched up, with good humor, show the refs what they're missing. Maybe if Caitlin could do it without insulting the refs they might take notice and try to be a little more aware 🤷‍♂️.
The refs only call what they "see." Three blind meeces.

They'd probably just give her a T no matter how nice she was about it.

Lol. Just wasn't the right fit. Wish they would've kept Natasha Howard, she was awesome. But Bonner was just a bad fit and she didn't produce. Her joining Atlanta is about as 'meh' as it gets IMO.
Of all the teams that would be shameless enough to take Bonner though, I assumed it would be Atlanta.

Washington was more desperate but they're pretty resigned to what they are.

Not when someone literally walks out on the team they're getting paid to play for they don't. Not to mention she was supposedly one of Whites "girls".
Still remember the questions at the time she was out. Everyone in the organization went dark.
