Christie Sides reacts to firing as head coach of Indiana Fever
Christie Sides has been fired as head coach of the Indiana Fever after two seasons. The team announced the decision on Saturday, despite Sides having two years left on her contract. Fever President Kelly Krauskopf thanked Sides for her leadership during a challenging transition and emphasized the need for bold decisions to achieve the team's goals. Former Connecticut Sun coach Stephanie White is a leading candidate to replace Sides. Sides led the Fever to their first playoff appearance since 2016 during her tenure.
