The Indiana Fever are gearing up to announce their new head coach after parting ways with Christie Sides, a move that sparked mixed reactions among fans. Sides’ leadership faced criticism, with many believing she hadn’t optimized rookie Caitlin Clark’s exceptional talent. Clark, coming off a historic debut season, is eager for a mentor to elevate her game further.
Stephanie White, recently separated from the Connecticut Sun, is a top candidate, with past comments resurfacing about her admiration for Clark. Clark, in return, has praised White’s sharp basketball insights and supportive presence, notably during college games.
White’s potential hiring has stirred speculation and excitement among Fever fans. A long-time Indiana figure, White is seen by many as a fitting mentor who could amplify Clark’s success. Fans have noted Clark’s enthusiastic descriptions of White’s basketball acumen—feedback that contrasts with how she described Sides’ style.
With Clark setting new franchise and league records, the Fever’s next coach could shape the young star into an even more formidable WNBA force. Only time will reveal if White, or another candidate, steps in to fulfill the vision Fever fans have for Clark’s future.
