The Indiana Fever have hired Stephanie White as their new head coach, the team announced Friday.
White, who spent the past two seasons as head coach of the Connecticut Sun, takes over a franchise led by WNBA star Caitlin Clark.
“As we enter this new era of Fever basketball, I am thrilled to welcome Stephanie back to the franchise,” president of basketball operations Kelly Krauskopf said in a statement. “Stephanie is a part of the fabric of this franchise, both as a former player and as a member of our championship coaching staff, so I’m quite familiar with her elite basketball IQ and leadership style. I am confident there is no one who better understands our culture or is more equipped to lead our group of players to the next level.”
Building around a promising young core in Clark and Aliyah Boston, the past two No. 1 draft picks, White will look to propel Indiana to the organization’s first championship since 2012.
