INDIANAPOLIS — The Indiana Fever are in the market for a new coach.
But after letting go of Christie Sides on Sunday, a month after the Fever’s season ended, it can’t be just anyone.
With six openings for head coaches across the league, there’s plenty of competition. Bringing in another first-time head coach after firing Sides, especially after Fever president Kelly Krauskopf said they want to be “bold and assertive” with their goal of a WNBA championship, wouldn’t necessarily make sense.
The Fever will need to aim big with an experienced head coach who can take Indiana deep into the playoffs. Letting go of Sides only makes sense if it’s for a well-experienced head coach that has had a lot of success in the league – and there are only a few coaches that fit that description.
