Stephanie White Named Indiana Fever Head Coach

The Indiana Fever have appointed Stephanie White as their new head coach for the 2025 season, following her successful two-year tenure with the Connecticut Sun where she achieved a WNBA Coach of the Year title. White, a native of Indiana and former star at Purdue, previously coached the Fever from 2015 to 2016, leading them to playoff appearances. She replaces Christie Sides, who finished last season with a 20-20 record and was unable to progress past the first round of the playoffs. Under White, the Fever will focus on developing star rookie Caitlin Clark, who had an impressive first season and is expected to be a key player moving forward. White expressed her pride in returning to Indiana and her commitment to winning, emphasizing the franchise's dedication to achieving another WNBA title. The Fever are looking to improve their overall performance, particularly in defense, after finishing 11th in that category last season.
