Stephanie White’s Old Comments on Caitlin Clark Resurface Amid Fever Coaching Buzz

Christie Sides.

White has played for and coached the Fever in the past, leading the team to the WNBA Finals in her first season as head coach in 2015. Her coaching experience and leadership qualities aside, White made some thoughtful comments about Caitlin Clark early in the WNBA season that resonated with Fever fans.

Clark’s arrival to the W last May was immediately tinged with controversy as veterans in the league didn’t exactly welcome the rookie with open arms. Amid a slow start to the Fever guard’s first pro season, White defended Clark during a team press conference.

"When I’m looking at all these things that people are talking about with Caitlin Clark, it’s like, guys, chill out," White said. "She’s gonna be fine. It’s two games in, are you kidding me? She’s a student of the game, she got better every year, you’re not going to just absorb all of the new information that’s coming at you in two games, in two weeks. It takes time. And she will. I have no doubt about it."

Stephanie White telling everyone to chill out on Caitlin Clark after her first 2 games. She’s going to be the perfect coach for the Fever.
