The Indiana Fever are on the hunt for the franchise’s next head coach following the dismissal of now-former team leader Christie Sides.
On Sunday, the Fever announced the decision to part ways with Sides in an official statement.
Sides fielded heavy criticism from Caitlin Clark fans throughout the 2024 WNBA season. Despite Clark’s outstanding Rookie of the Year campaign, many of these fans felt the Indiana head coach failed to fully capitalize on the No. 1 overall pick’s elite talent.
Now, Clark fans are weighing in with their thoughts on who the Fever should hire as the organization’s next head coach.
Some feel Connecticut Sun head coach Stephanie White is the “perfect” candidate to take over in Indianapolis and serve as a mentor for Clark as she continues her already-impressive WNBA career.
White is still under contract with the Sun through the 2025 WNBA season, but she’s already emerged as a top candidate for the Fever’s vacant job.
Early in the 2024 WNBA season, White came to Clark’s defense as she fielded criticism for a slow start to her rookie campaign.
