Speaking of Ionescu, she is rightfully receiving a number of postseason awards and has acted graciously every time that I have seen coverage of her receiving a reward. If I were her publicist (and whoever is performing that role or giving her guidance has done wonders in presenting her to the public and helping her with her brand), I would suggest that she refrain at the next level from questioning fouls and turnovers that are called on her with her incredulous look. She did that frequently at the college level and it wasn't a good look. She consistently gets the benefit of foul calls because she is crafty, intelligent, and is a good actor. In the WNBA, she will likely have to pay her dues and will not receive immediately the favorable treatment on 50/50 calls until she demonstrates that she is one of the best players in the league. I frequently wondered why PAC-12 refs allowed her to react the way she often did to fouls and turnovers that were called on her without telling her to stop it. Maybe they did and I didn't see those exchanges closely enough. I have a greater level of respect for the players who take refs' calls in stride and don't respond disrespectfully when an official makes a call against them. The money she will make will be from Nike. Probably will be a multi millionaire before most of us will be or will ever be. Her college career is over, she already has her check.

Yes. Ionescu will have a Nike shoe deal that will make her a young millionaire as soon as her shoe is launched. She also will receive opportunities for multiple other endorsement deals throughout her career. She will have millions of fans and followers. Probably already does. I just grow a bit weary of how she often reacts with her "What?" face and body language when a call is made against her. Accept the call and move on. As a former basketball ref, I respected players who didn't visibly question my calls and probably gave them the benefit of the doubt more often when making 50/50 calls.
