Fever-Sun skirmishes result in no suspensions

Fever guard Sophie Cunningham received a fine for her role in the skirmish with Sun player Jacy Sheldon that resulted in the two players being ejected from the game. Cunningham was hit with a standard fine, which any player would receive for a flagrant-1 or 2 foul. She received a Flagrant-2 foul last night for the hit on Sheldon.

The amount of the fines was undisclosed.

ESPN and The Associated Press first reported the penalties.

"I started talking to officials in the first quarter, and we knew this was gonna happen. You knew this was gonna happen. They gotta get control of it. They gotta be better. They gotta be better."

White said each coach brings officiating issues up during league meetings and understands the job is getting tougher, but officials need to find a way to remedy their calls with the ever-changing league.

"The game has changed so much. Players are faster, they're better, they're bigger, they're stronger, they're as good as they've ever been, as athletic as they've ever been. The game is fast, now. Things are happening quickly," White said. "Everyone is getting better, except the officials. So we gotta find a way to remedy it.

"We've heard every coach talk about it. I don't know what the answer is."
