All players feel like they are getting hosed from time to time. The mentally tough ones don't lose their cool. Instead, they have that look in their eyes like, "OK, that's how you want to call it, then I'm going to take it up a notch and force you to make calls."

I have watched CC a bit and I have never seen that look in her eye like "OK, look out." We have seen that all the time from MJ, Lebron, SGA, Tyrese, Curry, Bird, Magic, Kobe, Iverson, ... a very long list.

She has to get tougher. She will. She's only 24.

As far as WNBA refs, well, just about everybody agrees they are way below professional standards, so I agree with you there. The WNBA has work to do. Really, this is a 3-year-old league. It just didn't get any attention before CC. Lots of people bristle at that, but that's the fact, and there has bene a lot of resentment aimed at CC. Everybody needs to step up. They have a fantastic opportunity here. It is turning into a very watchable product.
