The Indiana Fever recently confirmed their faith in head coach Christie Sides, with new team president Kelly Krauskopf praising her performance during the 2024 season. However, reports of Connecticut Sun coach Stephanie White’s potential availability have led to Fever fans calling for a change. White, who previously coached the Fever and helped the team win its 2012 WNBA Championship, is seen as an ideal candidate to elevate the Fever’s young core, including Rookie of the Year Caitlin Clark, to true contender status.
Rumors about White’s potential exit from the Sun, following her successful postseason run, have intensified speculation. With her strong ties to Indiana, fans are lobbying on social media, urging the Fever’s management to consider bringing her back. White’s familiarity with the franchise and her strong support for the team, especially Clark, make her a popular choice among fans.
White’s coaching background includes a WNBA Coach of the Year award and two impressive seasons with Connecticut, where she led the Sun to a 55-25 record. As the Fever look to build on their 20-20 record and first-round playoff exit in 2024, many believe White is the right coach to propel them forward.
As the offseason unfolds, it remains to be seen whether the Fever will heed fans’ calls and make a move for White, should she become available.
Sides is the “poster child” for mediocrity. Fever need an upgrade – now!
