In the run-up to the Paris Olympics, the media was saturated with contentious arguments about Caitlin Clarkās omission from the U.S. womenās basketball team. The debate devolved into a pointless back-and-forth, exploited for cultural warfare.
The debate centered on the paradox of Clark being both highly qualified and overlooked. While arguments were rooted in both basketball performance and external factors, the discussion spiraled into a full-blown media frenzy. That saw the likes of Stephen A. Smith, Colin Cowherd, and Tony Kornheiser vehemently criticize Team USA for passing on such a significant marketing opportunity, let alone talent.
As other sports media figures suggested, NBC could have capitalized on Clarkās popularity by hiring her as an analyst if ratings/marketing were a primary concern. However, other considerations likely influenced the decision, and it might have proved challenging to justify overlooking established WNBA players who have already cut their teeth in professional basketball and with Team USA.

In any event, the discourse ultimately reached its plateau, as Clarkās going to Paris wasnāt in the cards. But that discourse has come back to life, thanks in part to NBCās Mike Tirico, who asked South Carolina head coach Dawn Staley, a member of the USWNT selection committee, about her read on Clark being left off the team.
āAs a committee member, youāre charged with putting together the best team of players ā the best talent,ā she said. āCaitlin is just a rookie in the WNBA; she wasnāt playing bad, but wasnāt playing like sheās playing now. If we had to do it all over again, the way that sheās playing, she would be in really high consideration of making the team because she is playing head and shoulders above a lot of people.
āShooting the ball extremely well; I mean, she is an elite passer. Sheās just got a great basketball IQ. And sheās a little more seasoned in the pro game in a couple of months than she was two months ago.ā

It shouldnāt be surprising that Staley handled this situation with grace and offered insightful perspective on Clarkās significant growth since the initial snub. Whether her development is directly linked to the Olympic omission is irrelevant, but Staleyās acknowledgment highlights why she has such a high standing in womenās basketball.
