Fox Sports college basketball analyst Doug Gottlieb has faced significant backlash for his recent comments on Caitlin Clark’s shooting form.
Over the past week, numerous videos have surfaced showing Clark hitting deep three-pointers during practice sessions with the Indiana Fever, as she prepares for her WNBA debut.
While the consensus has been overwhelmingly positive regarding her performance, Gottlieb pointed out what he sees as “flaws” in her shooting mechanics, suggesting that she might need to address these if she hopes to excel in the WNBA.

This critique did not sit well with fans, who quickly took to social media to vehemently defend Clark, criticizing Gottlieb’s assessment of her technique.
Despite the controversy stirred by Gottlieb’s comments, many remain confident that Clark’s proven shooting abilities will continue to serve her well as she transitions into professional basketball.
