In related news, a different WNBA game was forced to stop after one player's weave fell off. She ran off the court back to the locker room.
Just like in the NBA, where if someone's goggles or shoe came off for some reason, play immediately ceases and the referees go around to verify that everyone's shoes are laced tightly goggles are secured.
pausing a game for the goggles and shoes makes sense, as those are functional sports equipment. when the game is played at the highest level like in the NBA, it's good that the athletes' gear is held to a high standard.
You lose your gear, your team is at a disadvantage until you get it back on or they take a time-out. I've seen players play entire defensive sequences with missing shoes because the opposing team certainly isn't going to help them out by taking a time-out.

I was being sarcastic.

consider me got. I only have a cursory knowledge of sports ball, so I'm liable to believe anything that people say about sports with confidence.
