Why Indiana Fever couldn't challenge Lexie Hull foul on ex-teammate

During a high-stakes WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Las Vegas Aces, Fever coach Stephanie White attempted to challenge a foul called on her ex-teammate Lexie Hull. The incident took place in the second quarter of Game 3, with Brianna Turner of the Aces wrapping her arm around Hull as they vied for position in the lane.

This led to Hull being called for a foul and attempting to signal for a review, waving her finger at the officials and turning toward the Fever bench. As White left her coaching box to confront the officials at midcourt, she was promptly assessed a technical foul, although it was not announced to the audience. Hull also appeared to request a timeout, but it was denied.

The replay center later explained that the Fever were not given a review because it was outside the allowed time frame. The altercation was fueled by the recent departure of Hull from the team, with other players like Caitlin Clark also engaging in physical play, resulting in additional technical fouls. White was eventually escorted back to her sideline by teammate Aliyah Boston.
