Stephanie White Introduced as Indiana Fever Coach

Stephanie White has been appointed the new head coach of the Indiana Fever, marking a homecoming for the former player and assistant coach. She replaces Christie Sides, who led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016 but was let go after the season. White expressed excitement about leading a team that includes rookie sensation Caitlin Clark, who ended an eight-year playoff drought this past season. Clark holds White in high regard, praising her basketball knowledge and hoping that White's experience will enhance the team's competitive edge. White previously led the Connecticut Sun to back-to-back playoff appearances and was named WNBA Coach of the Year in 2023, indicating a promising future for the Fever under her leadership. Both White and Clark share the iconic No. 22 jersey, which adds sentimental value to their partnership.
