Things I know: 1. Clark made it possible for the Fever to be a playoff team. 2. Boston became a better player with Clark's teamwork. 3. Mitchell's offense is better because she has other offensive threats with Clark, Boston, and Hull. 4. Hull's potential has turned to reality because she works well with others. 5. There is huge inconsistency in the way fouls are called when the fever is on defense.
Sides NEVER takes responsibility for her team. It is always the teams fault never hers. If the team is having a problem why doesn't she work fixing it instead of playing the blame game? Unfortunately Caitlin makes her look like a better coach than she really is.
Sides wanna talk about defense but she puts her worst Defense player in like Lou and Smith 🤦♂️. She doesn’t know when to call timeouts, she doesn’t adjust, she let’s her players argue with the refs and does nothing but blame her players, she’ll put in her worst players in when they needed their best defensive players… need I say more? 🤮
I’m sure she is a nice lady, but I think elite players should be coached by elite coaches. She doesn’t even know who her players are or how they want to play. They look best when they are playing a faster pace game.
CC is a better coach than Sides. When CC takes over they win in Spite of Sides. Sides wins coach of the month and immediately reverts to the way she coached the team in the beginning of the season. Sides needs to sit out on the bench. She.doesnt call time outs when needed. Terrible rotations. CC, AB, LH, KM and TF should always start the game. Smith is best when she comes off the bench.
I truly don’t expect the fever to make the playoffs this year. I figured they’d still finish closer to last and Sides would be gone. She needs to thank CC every day that she still has a job.
It make sense to ignore coaches sometimes but for the Fever to improve and continue doing so they the players must focus more on improving their defense and reducing turnovers. Coaches normally never take responsibility for anything except victories.
Herb Simon please clean house! Your president is stepping down so replace Lin Dunn and Christie Sides because they don’t know how to use Caitlin and the offense she has built around her! Please get a more knowledgeable GM and coach for your WNBA team
Fever will NEVER win a title under Sides...even if she had an All Star starting 5. I have never seen a coach throw her players under the bus as much as Sides does...I have NEVER heard her say "I made mistakes and that is on me...I need to be better.." what we do hear is "I make mistakes a lot - but that is their fault for not listening.." The best defensive player on ALL opposing teams is Sides...No one stops Fever momentum faster than Sides trying to coach.
My ONLY issue with the Fever: Sides. This from a man that would have firedBig Game Bob Stoops from OU after his 3rd game. I would have sent Sides packing after I saw her starting lineups
Not only does she take zero accountability, but ... *her energy* 😬 feels like she thinks she's holding it together enough to seem professionally objective for the press, so can you imagine off camera?
I don't no, but in my opinion a turn over is an offensive failure... Where do you need defense for at that moment when you are attacking? Just don't give the bal away...
No playoffs for years. Sides was coach last year… terrible year. This year is different. What is the difference?? Caitlyn Clark. She knows the game better than sides will ever know. She’ll throw them under the bus. She slows down the game everyone they are ahead. Side is mediocre at best.
We have to remember that this team was not in the playoffs for years.. having one star in a team will not guarantee success.. but they went through and its a big achievement already.. now all the players has to be strong.. as in ALL.. and they’re defense is really weak.. they’ve been figured out by top teams.. so they need to be strong in defense as well.. Its not as if small tweaks are being done.. massive changes are happening to the team already.. My advise to those who are so mad when Fever are losing is… dont bet infavor of the Fever yet 😂 (losing money will really make a monster out of anyone) they are still in the adjusting stage.. we people who are just watchers are enjoying the games and rejoicing on their improvements, we are cool 😎
Have to disagree with this analysis. The Fever's growth over the season has been greater than any other team but to compete with the upper-echelon playoff teams, they must be better defensively and reduce their turnovers. This is not so much unwarranted criticism as to win it is an essential imperative. They've got to get the defensive side of their brains working. Sides must have had something to do with their growth. Sides is having something to do with their desire to win.
Things I know:
1. Clark made it possible for the Fever to be a playoff team.
2. Boston became a better player with Clark's teamwork.
3. Mitchell's offense is better because she has other offensive threats with Clark, Boston, and Hull.
4. Hull's potential has turned to reality because she works well with others.
5. There is huge inconsistency in the way fouls are called when the fever is on defense.
The refs are reprehensible!

Sides was Coach of the Month because she's riding the coattails of the Player of the Decade.
Slowing down the game doesn’t win games. Fast games are for younger players, but that is the Fevers strength!
I think many of the comeback wins have been because the team ignores Sides and plays their way
🎯
Exactly
I was thinking the same thing. And I had to unlike my like because my like made it 23 and I was like, "What am I doing!!
Sides is a horrible coach. If Sides wasn't in the way then Caitlin and the team would have had a much better record that she/they have.
Fever bench is weak but then sides got rid of Taylor which seems another gaffe.
Sides wanna talk about defense but she puts her worst Defense player in like Lou and Smith 🤦♂️. She doesn’t know when to call timeouts, she doesn’t adjust, she let’s her players argue with the refs and does nothing but blame her players, she’ll put in her worst players in when they needed their best defensive players… need I say more? 🤮
The coach who emphasizes defense also favored Katie Lou Samualson over Lexie Hull for 3/4th of the season, and continues to start Nalyssa Smith.
Totally incomprehensible to say the least.
SIDES WAS GIVEN A GOLD MINE AND FAILS EVERYTIME. TIME TO MOVE ON.
Scratchy voiced ineffective words and no karma between the coach and players.
sides is what holds the fever back.
The fever teams need a better coach.
I’m sure she is a nice lady, but I think elite players should be coached by elite coaches. She doesn’t even know who her players are or how they want to play. They look best when they are playing a faster pace game.
Sides don’t deserve the talent of CC and does not know how to coach her
Bring on Cheryl Miller as Fever Coach👍
I bet she takes the offer.
Sides is a gaslighter.
CC is a better coach than Sides. When CC takes over they win in Spite of Sides. Sides wins coach of the month and immediately reverts to the way she coached the team in the beginning of the season. Sides needs to sit out on the bench. She.doesnt call time outs when needed. Terrible rotations. CC, AB, LH, KM and TF should always start the game. Smith is best when she comes off the bench.
She’ll put Smith and Lou together and the opponent team will immediately get a 16-0 run. 😂
Sides: “I mean,…you know,…just…..” Come on. She’s lucky.
I truly don’t expect the fever to make the playoffs this year. I figured they’d still finish closer to last and Sides would be gone. She needs to thank CC every day that she still has a job.
The Fever clinched being in the playoffs a couple of weeks ago and are now in 6th place. Where have you been?
She is not doing Caitlin any favors!
don't = didn't, correcting your grammar ... 😮😮😮
@@patriciataylor2124 WOW....Did you EVEN READ the Post???? Reread it AGAIN.....Sheeeez.

Just let CC play her game, done.
Sides is just not convincing.
Her personality and lack of personality shows her in an unfavorable light.
Fever will NEVER win a title under Sides...even if she had an All Star starting 5.

Her strategically important decision to not run at times is ridiculous.
My ONLY issue with the Fever: Sides. This from a man that would have firedBig Game Bob Stoops from OU after his 3rd game. I would have sent Sides packing after I saw her starting lineups
Fire Indiana Fever coach without pay. Let her coach junior grade Grade section 11 players.
CC win Sides her Manager of the month
Sides is the wrong coach ...they need phil Jackson...4real

Double U (WNBA)

CC...🇵🇭
Larry bird for gever coach
JUST JEALOUS !!!

Wouldn't it be awesome if the Fever hired Geno? lol
I think the fan would bury him somewhere.

Hard to quantify anything with Sides!!! Her behavior is NOT that of a winner!
