WNBA commissioner Cathy Engelbert addressed reporters on Friday prior to the WNBA Finals tipoff between the Las Vegas Aces and the Phoenix Mercury. Among other comments, Engelbert admitted the league needs to evaluate officiating and that "change is needed" (1:52 mark). And with that evolution, game rules interpretation and officiating has to keep pace. At the conclusion of the season, as we do every year, the league's competition committee will meet to evaluate the state of the game, which includes game rules officiating and player safety on the court. WNBA players and coaches have clearly been upset with the game's officiating for quite some time, particularly its physical play.
