Indiana Fever fire coach Christie Sides after playoff exit
The Indiana Fever have fired coach Christie Sides after two seasons, despite making the playoffs for the first time since 2016. The team finished with a 20-20 record this season but was swept in the first round by the Connecticut Sun. Sides had a total record of 33-47 with the Fever. The team has a promising young core, including Caitlin Clark and Aliyah Boston, who have both won Rookie of the Year awards. This coaching change marks the sixth in the WNBA this offseason, with all dismissed coaches having three years or less experience. The Fever aim to maximize their talent and pursue a championship.
