Indiana fires coach Christie Sides; what’s next for Fever?

The Indiana Fever recently fired their head coach, Christie Sides, as part of a trend of coaching changes in the WNBA. Despite leading the team to the playoffs for the first time since 2016, Sides was let go in favor of new leadership. With several other teams also looking for new coaches, the league is experiencing a significant coaching carousel this offseason. The Fever’s new coach will need to focus on maximizing the talents of their young stars, Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston. The turnover in coaching positions reflects the increased resources and attention on the WNBA, but there is a balance between prioritizing winning and establishing stability within a franchise.
