Honestly, she knew after two code violations the next one was a game, why risk it? Especially after what happened with the lineswoman 10 years ago or so. What she did was no different than when Chris Webber called the timeout at the end of the national championship game.

SHE didn't break the rules, her coach did, and she got penalized. Just to be clear there.
The only time she actually deserved a penalty was when she broke her racket (which I think is an odd rule- why are you not allowed to break your racket if you are angry? They have a limited number they are allowed to use- so if they break a good one, they lose out).
BTW, Chris Weber NEVER said that it was an unfair call that was never made in any other game, so I will also post that it's a pretty stupid comparison.
And you continue to miss the concept about consistent rule application- where the men can be far more abusive and not get penalized. Or that coaching rules need to be enforced for ALL players from round 1 to the end- or it's pointless. It's so lax that ALL coaches ignore it.
All you look at is her blaming someone else. So very typical of you. Which is the real factor here- most of the time, people have a genuine beef when they protest. You should bother to see that someday.

Re: Tennis...Anyone?
The coaching call was definitely questionable at best. I kinda felt it was the racket smash that really did it. If you go back and look at McEnroe's biggest tantrum at Stockholm in 1984, where he basically used his racket as a club, IIRC that's the first time he ever got a game penalty.

In August 2016 at the Olympics, Ramos called Andy Murray for a code violation for saying “stupid umpiring.”U-A-A!!!Go!Go!GreenandGold!

Originally posted by Jimjamesak View PostI know soccer referees, at least in the US, are taught to talk to players in situations like that. Sarcasm, though not really encouraged, is acceptable. All time favorite story from a minor league game:
