Caitlin Clark is in the middle of the offseason, but ball is still life for the Indiana Fever star and WNBA Rookie of the Year.
Over the weekend, Clark went back to watch her former program, the Iowa Hawkeyes take on the Drake Bulldogs. At one point during the game, Iowa center Addison O'Grady was fouled on a shot. The play drew the ire from Clark in the stands, with the cameras finding her getting angry and voicing her displeasure at the officials from her seat.
"Caitlin in the bleachers mad asf at the refs calling for a foul, Colin beside her just finding it all hilarious I can't with her man," said a Caitlin Clark fan account on X/Twitter.

If you watched Clark during her rookie season in the WNBA, you saw numerous instances where she was unhappy with the officiating, earning a number of technical fouls for her protestations. It's not that surprising her intensity would carry over here.
Whether the officiating was good or not, Iowa had little trouble dispatching Drake 86-63, with O'Grady contributing 27 points and 10 rebounds.
As part of Clark's return to watch Iowa play, Fox Sports produced a video featuring Paige Bueckers, JuJu Watkins, Geno Auriemma and others discussing how much of an impact the Fever superstar has had on the sport over the last few years.
"Caitlin brought so much new attention to the rise of women's college basketball and the WNBA and women's sports in general," Bueckers said in the clip. "I feel like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. And she just has this heavy burden to carry and she does it with grace and humility."
As a rookie, Clark led the WNBA in assists and three-pointers made while breaking several records and making her first All-Star Game appearance.
The sky seems to be the limit for her in Indianapolis, and we can't wait to see what she does for an encore in 2025.
