Kim Mulkey has walked all over the court and all over the officials and hasn't managed to get a technical fouls. This has been wild.

- Wow, a MAJOR figure in the house for Brittney Griner’s first game back: the @VP!!!! *The* Kamala Harris waves to crowd here in LA.
- I'm stunned the officials did not eject Marina Mabrey.
- In sports media, we're lucky to tell stories of others’ journeys. We have our own, too. Part of mine is being transgender, and I'm transitioning to male. Byline now M.A. Voepel, pronouns he/him. Please feel free to call me Voepel, MV, Michael, Mike; I’m good with them all. 😊…
- Both @MCzinano and @CaitlinClark22 could have complained about officiating but are not. They are talking about their pride in the team and what they have accomplished for @IowaWBB and the success of women’s basketball in general.
- Indiana Fever team kneeling during National Anthem tonight at WNBA playoff game in Indianapolis.
- The group following @CaitlinClark22 at John Deere Classic Pro-Am; that is @IowaWBB assistant coach Jan Jensen leading the pack. By my count, Clark is 4 over through 6 holes, has not missed a fairway, and I have lost count how many autographs she has signed.

- The sweetest dog I've known went to Heaven today. Those who cherish animal friends understand this love, and this grief. Thanks for getting me through my deepest sorrow, Mom's death, & bringing so much joy in your 12 precious years on Earth. Love you eternally, my darling Fiona.
- Big news: The @WNBA officially announces plans for 22-game regular season starting in July with standard playoffs ending in October - with all games at IMG Academy in Florida - after players vote to approve proposal.
- That Diana Taurasi, Sabrina Ionescu and Geno Auriemma spoke at Kobe and Gianna Bryant's memorial today really speaks to how sincere his interest in and commitment to women's basketball was. We can hope that truly does inspire and motivate others.
- Asked if Vic Schaefer explained why she was out all 4th quarter, Morgan William showed total respect: "He doesn't have to, he's the coach."
- What a moment for @usavolleyball women: For the first time since volleyball became an Olympic sport in 1964, the U.S. women have won gold. USA has had some real heartbreakers over decades, including 3 losses in final. That's why you see all these tears. This is a very big deal!
- I think "Sport Center" needs to do a commercial with Stanford libero Morgan Hentz where she's walking around the office, and every time someone drops something or it falls off a desk, she keeps it from hitting the floor. :)
