Stephanie White, recently introduced as the new head coach of the Indiana Fever, is already setting high expectations for her star players Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. In her first press conference as head coach, White made it clear that she believes both Clark and Boston are destined for greatness, and she sees them as key pillars in the Fever’s future.
Clark and Boston were the Fever’s top picks in the 2023 and 2024 WNBA drafts, with Clark selected No. 1 overall in 2024 and Boston going No. 1 in 2023. Both players have made immediate impacts, helping to lead the Fever back to the playoffs for the first time since 2016—the final year of White’s first tenure as the team’s head coach.
White expressed her excitement about the potential of Clark and Boston, calling them “the greatest” in their respective positions. She also noted that, with their talent and leadership, the duo could go down in history as some of the best point guards and post players the game has ever seen.
“I’m excited about the opportunity that we have to build from those starting points and build out,” White said. “The future is really bright, and I’m just glad to be a part of it. For the longevity that those two could have in Indiana… hanging banners in this building. All of those things are so exciting.”
White’s ambitious vision for the Fever’s future focuses on building a competitive team around their young stars, setting the stage for a new era of success in Indiana. With Clark and Boston leading the charge, it’s clear that the Fever’s future has never looked brighter. White’s return to the team marks the beginning of what she hopes will be a long and successful journey, with championships on the horizon for this rising squad.
As the Fever prepare for the 2025 season, it’s evident that the combination of Clark’s scoring ability and Boston’s dominance in the post will be integral to Indiana’s long-term success. Fans and analysts alike are eager to see how White’s leadership can harness the immense potential of this talented duo.
