The Fever’s Future: Why Stephanie White Might Be the Perfect Coach for Caitlin Clark

Ever wondered who will take over as the Indiana Fever’s head coach after Christie Sides left? Two names keep popping up: Stephanie White and Cheryl Miller. While Miller coached Caitlin Clark in the WNBA All-Star Team, White seems to have a special connection with Clark. Journalist Erica Ayala saw something interesting at Clark’s first WNBA game. Clark, who’s usually quiet, went straight to Stephanie White during the morning shootaround. White has been watching Clark’s games on Big Ten broadcasts and has always had nice things to say about her.When Clark struggled early in the season, White stood up for her. "She’s going to be fine, " White said. "You can’t learn everything in just two games. " White’s time with the Connecticut Sun was successful, but she recently left. Could this be a step towards coaching the Fever? Some think Sides was fired to make the team better for Clark’s play style. Before the Olympics break, Clark wasn’t the main focus. But after the break, the team started playing around her. This change helped the Fever make it to the playoffs. Who knows, maybe White can lead the Fever to their second title and have Clark at the center of it all.
