Nah, Steph is right. You want to play your kind of basketball instead of listening to me? Ok, go ahead and see where that takes you. People can keep hating me all they want about Caitlin Clark and I don't care. I like her but she is never going to win a championship the way she plays, she just isn't. If Indy gonna be even sorta successful, they need a team to build around Caitlin specifically. Her as the PG don't work cause she wants to shoot all the time. They need to trade Kelsey anywhere to get her out of there cause she not appreciated, let Raven Johnson play point, direct traffic, get Caitlin open looks and either make AB work more in the paint and play defense, or trade her for someone who will and that's really all they need. Get a new head coach, whoever you think gonna help I don't care who it is, pick your poison. The GM can do it for all I care. It's not gonna win her any championships until she learns to be a team player. It didn't win her one in Iowa, and it's not gonna win her one in Indy

Must be a different kind of paper because the Aces roster is way better

BECAUSE CC IS UNCOACHABLE. FEVER ARE GOING TO TRY AND GET ANOTHER COACH AND CC WILL RUN THEM OUT OF TOWN TOO. SHE IS. UNCOACHABLE AND NOT A WINNING PLAYER. TOUGH TO WIN WITH THAT

Yall just get on these apps and say anything. On paper better than the aces.

I think I would have handled it differently. Start out by complementing your players for an honest attempt at winning. Then say, "I'm going to stop substituting every few minutes. I'll put the best squad on the floor and hope they come alive. If they get in the groove we'll win"

On paper a better team? 🤣 🤣 🤣 The Aces on paper are the best team in wnba

SW is the same person who gave us “blessing in disguise” 😬

They got swept in 2024 that was the humbling and C had to sit all last year more humbling…she is the wicked witch 🧙🏻♀️

@barbara_jurkic Just sad. I think Amber Cox is on her way out too. She's hiding out in the same way Englebert started hiding.

this woman lost all credibility when she said on paper a better team 😒😒😒 on paper the team you have isn’t even close. the coach is right and for a weird woman to speak like she knows ball is just wilds lol. you’re not helping at all you’re making it worse.

All season long we've seen signs of White wanting to make Caitlin Clark heel. White is a magical coach because she's somehow managed to take a team if solid players and make most of them virtually disappear. AB, Billings, Johnson, Hull and others are all lesser players than they were when they got to the fever. So many players play with less confidence than they did before. This is what humbling players accomplishes. And yet none of her players know where to be on the court, they're far to often it if position and confused. That's poor coaching, and the coach cannot admit it. I hope Caitlin Clark never comes to heel in Stephanie whites failed system.

Totally a shot at CC. I can’t stand this no more.

CC has BEEN humbled since college, this coach’s mindset is not a ‘winning a championship’ mindset. Free these girls man she’s wasting their career years!

I think she sees the writing on the wall. She knows shes fired after the season so shes talking mad shit...

It’s easy for WNBA coaches to put it all on the players and not have any accountability for losses because they never get questioned about their substitution patterns, rotations, or strategy in post game pressers.

This video’s wrong basic shit. CC played in the playoffs as a rookie and the opposing coach was… wait for it… Stephanie White. She wasn’t talking about her. Last years roster was not younger either. How can you be so loud yet so wrong?

What SW is talking about is humility. Raven Johnson already has won a championship in college she understands that she has to listen to the coach. All the players that returned from last year learned to play the coach way & had success. Caitlin Clark still doesn't get it.

They’re not better team. They’re not ready. Aces aren’t losing in the first rd. And I knew the moment Cc and Kelsey struggled, they were done. U have 2 players that can get their own shots. Should’ve not gotten rid of ole reliable CC/AB PNR offensive

She is losing it. Time for her to exist plus all her coaching staff.

@CourtsideClub_ tsk tsk! Do better!! She gave what she got from her "star" (Although it's ACTUALLY Kelsey who is better overall).. Clark tried to throw her under the bus and Stephanie said "Aht Aht! Bring that ass HERE! You coming with me lil brat!"

Fire her please

When a team getting worse, that falls on coaching.

Stephanie White! Dumbest fkn coach in the history of dumb fkn coaches.

Fire Steff.

The reason why your jaw dropped is because you want her to pacify all those lily ass white girls on that team. The fact of the matter is she spoke true facts you gotta learn how to lose before you win. They don’t know how to lose it. Stop crying and get better.

CC is trying to be bigger than the team. She needs to run the actual offense like they did all 1st quarter. Once she went off script shit got ugly. These ladies noticed that and it threw them out of whack mentally. It was over middle second quarter, they were all checked out.

Stephanie White is a freaking joke. She's trying to play politics on a basketball court!

She can go to hell

She said it was the turnovers and needless fouls. 28 points off turnovers. That is what an inexperience gets you, a lack of understanding that each possession matters so you MUST protect the ball. Clarke has never learned that lesson despite being humbled in HS and College.

You’re an idiot

WHAT AN IDIOT!!!

You missed the whole part of her talking about them giving up 28 points on turnovers….you like a guy whose girlfriend is telling him what he does wrong and he picks the most minuscule part of that whole response to respond to. & on paper the Aces have A’ja Wilson. A’ja > Fever

This can't be a serious response to SW's presser. Ummm.....did u miss the part about the insane number of TOs??? Caitlin does need to be humbled. She turns the ball over at a ridiculous clip (did in college, too) & won't listen 2 her coach. How many pts were gifted from TOs?

There's nothing wrong with saying A'ja Wilson had the game of her life and we are gonna come back with a better plan against her. Sometimes people step up, and Wilson did (she got a lot of calls her way, but that did not make her shot go in.)
