Christie Sides speaks out after firing as Indiana Fever head coach
Christie Sides was fired as head coach of the Indiana Fever on Sunday, surprising many after the team’s best season since 2016. The Fever reached the playoffs, marking progress under her leadership. In a message on X, Sides emphasized the importance of leaving a team better than she found it. Under her guidance, the Fever improved from a 5-31 record to a 0.325 winning percentage in 2023. Sides previously served as an assistant coach for the Fever before becoming head coach in 2022. The team is now searching for a new head coach to continue its development.
