Caitlin Clark's interactions with officials have drawn plenty of attention this season, with the Indiana Fever star frequently showing her frustration during games. Former NBA player Etan Thomas was the latest to weigh in on Clark's animated exchanges with referees, using a humorous analogy to describe her reactions.

Thomas offered his views during an episode of his podcast, The Collision, on Friday.

Thomas' comments stemmed from Clark's reaction to the referees during the Fever's loss to the Golden State Valkyries on Wednesday. The Indiana guard had a full-blown outburst during the matchup, charging at the refs after they failed to highlight a possible call in the paint.

Her reaction was enough for Thomas to draw a hilarious analogy of the Fever star, who doubled down on his Veruca Salt take by posting a graphic on X (formerly Twitter).

Although Clark's reaction drew criticism, the Veruca Salt comparison was an exaggerated one, especially considering she has also been on the receiving end of several controversial no-calls this season.
