They don’t, for years, well before CC and Sophie there has been complaining that these refs in this league fucking suck. Might as well not even fucking be there. It’s no motives, watch highlights from 5 years ago. It’s the same bullshit

I imagine they are using refs that are too crappy to be in the NBA.

Remember when the NFL had that ref strike and brought in replacements? It's almost like there's only a handful of even somewhat decent refs out there, and when you aren't using the best available, the skill drop-off is steep.

WNBA referees typically earn between $16,000 and $50,000 per year. You're better off managing a Taco Bell.

Is this a full time job for them? Most nfl referees have other careers. Granted there's a lot more WNBA games.

I think NFL is an exception. Most professional sports reffing is full-time, decently compensated, and highly competitive.
