she is very enjoyable to listen to and she knows her stuff.

Coach Stephanie is a great role model for these young ladies 🎉🎉 Go Fever!!

[@MrGoogle239]

😮 Role model? She has a wife! Sorry this destroys that description. She can change that by admitting it's wrong according to the Scriptures, may she learn that she needs a Savior to avoid eternal 🔥, Jesus paid her debt. She needs to ❤ Him above all else and move from her open sin. 🙏 For her! BTW, I am the greatest sinner, yet He shed His blood for me! PTL!

[@tellitlikeitis1828]

MrGoogle is correct except the “wife” title. There is no such thing as a wife/wife or husband/husband relationship. That is reserved for a legitimate marriage between a man and a woman. I hope she finds Jesus and gets saved.

[@timwoody3835]

I’ve thought about it a lot and I think a lot of what makes Caitlin great and ALSO loved is her humility. She’s humble and kind and that plays a lot into why people love her. I don’t think I’ve ever seen her refuse to sign a jersey or program or anything. I also see a lot of that in Aliyah.

She has leadership and aura from the way she speaks and players will follow her lead😊

[@jinnij.caiman]

To Fever fans: take it from a fan of the Fever who’s been here from the beginning, be patient with Coach Steph. You will get what you want, be patient. Instant gratification is hard in women’s basketball. Even after the Olympic break I was surprised they were able to go off like that, even with the talent on the team. It takes time to mesh. Be realistic in your goals that you have for the coming season. Idk if many of you know how special this actually is for Coach Steph to be here now, at this moment. It’s incredible. Let’s help, not hinder their process. Btw Lexie staying in Indiana this offseason with Caitlin will be a huge factor next year, gaining more chemistry can only help. It’s very smart on her part. She wants to be here!

Praying to see all teams show us the true professionals they are without all the nonsense we saw last season. Leave the politics to politicians and let professional women show their extraordinary talent on the court!

[@danieltomita9556]

Congratulations Coach White, Kelly, Amber, Lin & Fever heads! Exciting challenges with the expansion draft, signing KM in free agency AND protecting your players with quality officiating and minimizing bullyball by penalizing hurtful players with substantial fines, suspensions AND sanctions. May the Fever organization lead the W in taking the league to an even higher level of entertainment in 2025. Imagine millions of eyeball becoming the norm

[@wajj1842]

I don't believe in astrology, but it does look like the STARS are Aligned. Stephanie is so likable and a great communicator. My guess is that CC is over the moon to get to play for her. Just sad that we have to wait till May for the season to kick off. I don't think they will start off 1 and 8 next year.

Glad she mentioned Coach Mazzula who to me is a premiere coach in the NBA. If she is watching and learning from him, we are in very good hands. Love the way she speaks about the opportunity to do something incredibly special with Caitlin and Boston as their core and talking about what it will take to become a perennial champion and dynasty. Her energy, confidence and passion for Indiana is a perfect fit at this time. She seems to know the level of opportunity in front of her with the talent she is being handed to nurture and develop. Great choice. Welcome home Stephanie. You are already ingratiating yourself with Fever Fans/Caitlin fans who want someone in her corner who will build around her talents and teach her to become that next level pro who will lead her team to greatness. Go get her the help she needs around her and lets go compete.

This is a coach who knows her team's strengths. White knows full well that she has the best back court in the league, and she is going to not hesitate one moment for taking full advantage of that. Now the Fever just needs some depth. Either way, should be a great season!

[@shastica]

Yes!

[@lisamcdonald.9706]

Super happy your back

[@Mellowyellow3]

I have a different take or maybe an additional take that CC and Kelsey Mitchell will go down as best back court team first teammates in WNBA history to each make 100+ 3 PM in a single season. They ranked number one 120 and number three Mitchell 109.

[@youtubesean]

Stephanie is awesome. Aliyah Boston is a very good player, but I hope White stresses AB maintains an off season conditioning program so she hits the hardwood in shape next season. I believe White will put her Fever players in the best position to succeed and it will be fun to watch.

[@TravisMcGivern]

It will help that she’s playing in Unrivaled, she should be in shape coming out of that.

[@katharineschott9125]

AB is playing in Unrivaled Jan., Feb., and part of March. She should be in pretty good shape from playing 3x3 on a 60 foot court.

[@youtubesean]

@@TravisMcGivern thanks for the reminder. I was really disappointed in how poor her conditioning was at the start of last season.

@@katharineschott9125 thanks. I forgot about that. I think she would be so much more effective if she could convert some her body mass to muscle.

[@katharineschott9125]

As a Kiwi living in NZ,I have watched Caitlin for 3 years now and watching the WNBA for the first time,I was impressed with the team as a whole, even when they were losing in the beginning of the season,the offense was great but, defense could of been a lot better and Sides was lacking in that area, I believe, as well as tactical areas around subs, time outs...etc. good luck for next year, 😎

[@valeriecaraotta7788]

You can candidly hear from Stephanie White that what separates her from a good coach is the comprehensive understanding she has of emotional dynamics, team chemistry, and off court press/ fan’s mental affect on players. White is at a coaching maturity apex that has seen much and through her coaching and court observations brings to the table an uncompromised sense of confidence and risk taking so needed to transform a good team into a great team. Of course many free agents will almost beg to be on Fever team. White and company will be super selective and strategic in placing and removing piece by piece that which will propel them into “scary” territory from other teams’ perspective. Go Fever!❤️🏀🏀🏀

[@casilatino]

I hope Stephanie has her coaching staff focus on and improve each individual by pointing out their weaknesses and strengths. Cc has been working on her mid range and floaters. I would like to see AB work on her mid range shot and get some more trajectory on her flat shots.

[@HieuHoang-vp6ou]

Finally we have an actual Coach who acknowledges & recognizes how generational/ special talent C22 is… which is EVERYTHING & will guide how Fever team will play & perform moving forward. But something Coach ‘going Sideways’ could never & have never acknowledged all last year… which showed when Sides rarely openly praised C22, but instead threw her under bus all the time publicly. And NEVER defended C22 against flagrant fouls not called & repeated assaults/ mauling/ biased refs non-calls during games & post game. NO MORE! Coach White now will actually support & freely play to C22’s strengths now for 1st time instead of trying to rein her in & take ball out of her hands as floor general.

[@casilatino]

As a Fever fan here who hasn’t seen Berger play much, what is your knowledge or history on her?

[@mikehall4517]

​@@casilatino Saw some highlights of her in Europe, and she's doing well there. This might not mean all THAT much because the players aren't as good there, (how else did team USA get the gold) still it is good for her to practice under game conditions, and get some confidence at the same time.

[@casilatino]

@@mikehall4517 I do remember Sides putting Berger into the last game of the regular season against Washington and Berger had a chance to win the entire game shooting an uncontested shot from 15 ft free throw line and missed it. She could have made her mark and blew it.

[@mikehall4517]

@casilatino Kind of hard to be confident in making a clutch shot when your coach kept you as dnp sitting on the bench for the entire SEASON! I don't hold that against her in the least. That's why it's good that she's getting playing time in actual games, that kind of real life experience will stand her in good stead for when she gets back home. And her play in Europe looks good. How well that will translate in the wnba isn't certain, but it will definitely help, a lot. No telling if she's going to be on the team next season, but if she is, you can be sure that White won't leave her rotting on the bench.

[@julieleber6131]

I think Berger is gone.

If the Fever don’t trade away their 2025 draft picks, they can add to the bench that way as well. 2025 rookie class has some good talent.
