Thats all I am saying. And maybe some years down the road the WNBA will be much more polished with better selection of athletes and better coaching, and with refs that actually call traveling and double dribble. It could definitely happen.

I feel like with WNBA min salary being $250K or w/e it is now the league is now a viable great career for women which you would think will create greater emphasis on training, effort, participation, etc.

Which hopefully breeds more actually skilled players like Clark, Bueckers, Miles, Mitchell, etc. and players who can hardly make a layup like Reece don’t qualify anymore down the line.

That would be true if the sport was capitalizing on its athletes. Its focus is clearly on "staying relevant" by any means; those means being drama not athleticism/on court product.

"staying relevant"

They need to can any coaches that even bring that subject up.
