WNBA, NBA silent on transgender eligibility debate as players and coaches take the heat

Pressure is mounting for the WNBA and NBA to get their arms around the transgender eligibility mess hanging over the league.

"Yeah, I’m going to leave that to the league office," Tibbetts said. "That’s their job."
