Indiana Fever’s Lexie Hull’s mom foul shames her for sneaky move

In this story:
Don’t let Lexie Hull’s wholesome demeanor fool you.
The Indiana Fever shooting guard is what YMCA basketball vets call crafty, and her schoolyard trick was caught on-camera in the Fever’s 84-79 victory at the Atlanta Dream.
During the game, the Dream’s Rhyne Howard steps out of bounds. Upon further review though, it’s the Stanford Cardinal grad Hull who gives Howard a little shove. No harm, no foul, right?

Her teammates courtside and the commentators got a kick out of it, but her mother Jaime made sure to call her daughter out for her shenanigans.
Oh my gosh… Really @lexiehulll ?!? 🤣😂 I asked her why she pushed her and all she text back was “idk 😂”. Sure didn’t make her friend Rhyne very happy. SMH at my kid on that one! https://t.co/g4whHN2f2L

If Hull got away with it, then that’s exactly the reason the Fever shooting guard did it. And it’s awesome that mom still made it a point to defend Howard for the sly foul. SMH at my kid on that one!,” is a hilarious kicker.
It’s been a rough week for WNBA officials, as two-time MVP and WNBA champion A’ja Wilson of the Las Vegas Aces ripped the “ridiculous” WNBA refs during an in-game interview.

The refs can be forgiven for missing this foul though, as it’s a savvy, subtle move by the 24 year old that was worth the risk.
Too bad mom caught her. For that, can a 24-year-old WNBA player still get grounded?
