This OutKick opinion piece sharply criticises legendary UConn women's basketball coach Geno Auriemma for remarks he made about Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark on the "Sports Media Podcast with Richard Deitsch". Auriemma argued that the hype around Clark was manufactured "about her" by fans he called delusional, and disputed the idea that a single player could transform the WNBA the way Tiger Woods transformed the PGA Tour. The writer casts the comments as one of the year's worst takes and predicts Clark's critics within the WNBA will embrace them.

Auriemma acknowledged that Clark had increased attention on and the valuation of the league, but insisted this fell short of Woods's impact, noting Woods brought in huge money and won nearly every tournament. The column rejects this, arguing Clark is unquestionably the Tiger Woods, if not the Larry Bird, of the WNBA. The article also references recent context, including Alyssa Thomas shoving Clark to the floor nearly two weeks earlier, the resulting online abuse directed at Thomas, and Clark's absence from the lineup since, with rumours she may return against the Los Angeles Sparks.
