  • Published on Jul 14, 2025
  • Indiana Fever head coach Stephanie White, Caitlin Clark and Natasha Howard talk with reporters after their 88-71 victory over the Connecticut Sun on Tuesday. With the win, they advance to the championship game of the WNBA Commissioner's Cup -- at Minnesota on July 1. They won all four quarters and led by as many as 21 points.
    This game, however, was physical and had multiple reviews. There were six technical fouls handed out, two flagrant fouls, and three ejections. Coach White addressed the officiating and their lack of control of the game. And they touched on how they celebrated advancing to the title game. The player prize pool is $500,000.

    • @katharine9125
      @katharine9125 27 days ago +2

      Coach White is NOT responsible for the offense being slow. For the first several weeks, the offense was slow because the Fever added SIX NEW PLAYERS!!! It takes several weeks of playing together for each player to learn the moves and tendencies of each of the other players well enough to be able to be CONFIDENT IN ANTICIPATING EACH OTHERS MOVES. Professional basketball players rarely pass to a stationary player because the defense can easily disrupt the pass. Thus, players need to be able to anticipate when a teammate is likely to move, the direction and speed of the movement, and the final location, so that they can release their pass in the correct direction and timed so that the recipient receives the ball in their hands, in stride on their way to the basket to score (or on their way to an open area on the court where they can score or pass). Until the players are confident in their ability to anticipate their teammates' movements, they will tend to hesitate before they pass or hesitate and then decide not to pass. THIS TENDENCY TO HESITATE MAKES the offense slow and choppy and makes IT IMPOSSIBLE TO EXECUTE AN UP-TEMPO OFFENSE!!! Coach White developed the "read and react" up-tempo offense specifically for Caitlin. Very few, if any other point guards in the W have the court vision, basketball IQ, and skill set to effectively execute this offense. Coach simplified the offense when Caitlin was injured so that Syd and Aari would not be mentally overtaxed when filling in as point guard. COACH'S OFFENSE WAS DESIGNED AS AN UP-TEMPO OFFENSE, BUT THE TEAM WAS NOT READY TO PLAY AT PACE UNTIL THE NY GAME ON 6/14.
      P.S. I hate a slow offense, too. For anyone to force Caitlin to play a slow offense, when she is capable of so much more, is like forcing a thoroughbred race horse to pull a plow!!!

From what I remember, this is only the 2nd game that she got decent stats. She can’t hardly rebound or run and usually have a brick streak. She’s a vet. If she can’t be one on the floor, at least be one for your teammates. At least DB is ready to defend her teammates.

    Although the physical fighting will tend to dominate the discussion of today’s game, I am impressed, once again with the Fever players efforts on both ends of the court. Congrats coaches and players! Mabrey not being ejected and Sheldon not being given a flagrant against CC, was an incompetent decision from the refs and escalated the conflict later on. Fever, great win, great team effort. There should be no fines issued against coach White for her comments.

      At least there were calls, though incorrect &/or inconsistent. Last season's calls were much worse. In Fever vs Sun in playoffs, NO call on D. Carrington's infamous eye poke. Fever had to call time out after Sun scored on fast break to attend to CC, who got a black eye & blurred vision. Key reason Fever lost.

      You might wonder if that’s really the goal esp on CC. And they’re getting their marching orders from the top (commissioner and the owners). If someone get really hurt that leads to a career ending injury, I hope they sue those people for all they are worth. And if it’s CC, god forbid, that will eventually end the WNBA. Coz NBA will stop supporting the league and the sponsorships will abandon it. And they would’ve deserved it.

Love players passion it’s ref’s job to keep calm heads- 1/2 hour to make horrendous calls. It’s an embarrassment even to watch. I hope they clean it up fast- before someone really gets hurt and viewership goes down the tubes.

All that with new players learning to play together, a new head coach, and no Clark for five of those games. This team is still learning to gel, but feel Clarks absence actually helped them overall. They can win without her. (Remember Cunningham was also injured as well as other players and still went 2-3). Imagine how good they will be by mid season. They made all the right moves in the offseason. Besides resigning Mitchell they added Cunningham, Bonner, etc. This is a solid tough team up and down.
