Connecticut Sun Coach White Departure Sparks Rumors

The Connecticut Sun have parted ways with head coach Stephanie White after two successful seasons where she achieved a 55-25 regular season record and was named WNBA and AP Coach of the Year in 2023. Despite leading the team to the playoff semifinals both years, a change was deemed necessary as they failed to advance to the finals. White's departure coincides with substantial coaching changes in the WNBA, with the Sun being the seventh team to replace their head coach this offseason. Rumors suggest White may return to the Indiana Fever, where she previously coached and played, following the firing of their head coach Christie Sides. The Sun now face the challenge of finding a new coach amid significant free agency decisions for key players like Alyssa Thomas and DeWanna Bonner.
