Fair or foul: Rough first month for WNBA officials

NEW YORK (AP) — Elena Delle Donne was credited with a basket on a shot that never went through the hoop. Maya Moore needed to prevent fellow WNBA star Skylar Diggins from shooting free throws that weren't hers to take.

Then there was the call that got Minnesota Lynx coach Cheryl Reeve so mad, she spouted off — fully aware she'd get fined.

It sure has been a rough first month of the season for WNBA referees.

"I don't know if the officials really understand the rules," Reeve said last week after her team played Phoenix.
